“Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.” 

Lecturer: “I'd like to start by asking each of you to introduce yourselves and your preferred name. I'll start, I'm a Professor here and you can call me Matt.”
Student: “I'm Fergus and you can call me Fergalicious.”

“How can I watch me back?”

“Natalie Imbruglia? Isn’t she Padme in Star Wars?” 

Five-year-old lad filling in McDonald's puzzle: "Leave me alone, I'm at work."

"There are bigger problems in the world than dogging, mum."

“Dishwashers really are such wonderful things.” 

Man on the phone: “Yeah, I said okie doke… It means okay… Yeah, it’s just a really old saying.”

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
