* The 2d Lloyd-George was only valuable because it carries an Anglesey cancellation, one of only three so stamped during the Beaumaris Post Office’s contractual one day in 1921 and delivered three letters before being abandoned due to ice sheet encroachment.

* He works in Muppet Labs, if it’s slipped your mind. His assistant is Beaker.

* It’s like a machete but with more heft.

* ‘Proactive thinnage’ was another euphemism, as was ‘assisted winnowing’.

* I strongly recommend that you do, too.
