Jesus fucking christ, I went for a look inside that Chernobyl reactor and took some fuel rods as souvenirs and now I'm told I only have 3 days to live, that all went a bit Thameslink.
I really didn't like that movie so I kept watching it to see if the ending would change and the hero wouldn't die? - That's a bit Thameslink to think the ending would change.
Officer, I did not buy cocaine, it must have gotten blow into the window and landed on the table in a line like that! - You expect me to believe that? How Thameslink do you think I am.
A night/evening (?) wherein one is amongst friends and consumes alcoholic beverages such as cider, beer, or vodka. One thus gets pissed, and walks up the river Thames in order to get a train back to Kitt's. One may also phone Otto.
I heard about this thamesing thing... we should totally do that around the Seine. Although I wouldn't want to wake up the homeless... or call Otto for that matter.
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party'sliberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
