    The English are born to Tweet. The laconic becomes them.

    The laconic, the gin and tonic. . .

    Probably because it’s impossible to diminish Smith.

    So the Spartans would be the world champion Twits, if there were any of them left.

    So the point is either (a) never agree with anyone named Smith or (b) if you do agree with someone named Smith, for God’s sake have the decency to keep it to yourself.

    Ironic that the people of a very wet island are best at keeping their Tweets dry.

    ‘English’? Well by nationality. But many of England’s best wits and literati have been, yes, Irish. We Celts are pretty cool.

    There’s no doubting the Irish for clever wit,
    But the gist of the wit belongs to the Brit.
