I have a friend who calls me at 3am (or something equally ridiculous). I always answer in case he is in trouble, when he's just pissed I'm grateful it isn't anything serious and chat away with him.



"Pissed" meaning inebriated and not angry.


Had a colleague at one job who was from London and he was describing the steps he had taken to fix his car. I had to tell him he lost me at bonnet. Two countries sharing words.


“[…]divided by a common language”. (Commonly attributed to George Bernard Shaw.)


you are a good friend to have.
