Now let's cover the Ukrainian geography. First, as we can see, Ukraine is a very flat country. It has mountains only in the very west, in Carpathians, and in the very south, on the southern cost of Crimea. The rest of the country is flat as a pancake. What does it mean? 🧵

I was just in a petrol station, and this absolutely steaming drunk guy came in. "Oh mate." He shouted at me. "What's the date on this bread? When does it go off butt?" I took a look. "December the fifth" I said, and then thought, that can't be right. "It's crazy" he screamed.

My teacher loved American style cream soda. Every Friday he would buy 30 cans and our class sat together while he’d tell us stories from his childhood in India, before he became a Muslim. It was mostly reminiscing about girlfriends and smoking cigs at school. I miss him.

Dad calling to tell me he's proud I'm a finalist in the #VoyagerMedia awards. "You're up against @SteveBraunias aren't you? Well you won't win, but you've done well to make the final". Thanks, I think?
