See, just as I said -- lots of real common words that we use every day. So with that I'll be donning my sable-trimmed ushanka, pocket a few kopecks and head off to that mammoth kiosk down the street to pick up the latest Sport-Express while my tea is brewing in my samovar, and then maybe on the way back I might splurge and pick up a tin of beluga.

Also true, my cat has a better grasp of history, social injustice and common sense than this twat.

What school do you have to attend to learn how to fabricate large parts of history and present them as absolutely true?
