Are you simply dying to be offended on someone else's behalf darling? Sweety?

Pour yourself a large G&T, poppet, there's a dear

If you've got a spinning wheel of 'who's gonna get it today' and Belgium came up, that's fine, too

I was just curious as to why them (obviously we've got to pick on someone)
