Ideally I'd like them in breakfast, dinner, and house sizes, but I will also accept person-sized!

I admit I have quite small hands, but even so!

I am legitimately fascinated by this! I had no idea there was even such a thing as a fixed flavour unit. Are there specific kinds of strawberry that you recommend as being the most interesting/unique-tasting?

Okay either I'm shrinking or fruit is getting way, way bigger (or both)

Oh, amazing, thank you so much! I really hope you like it after all that hard effort.

Ooh, that would be cool. I'd love to see a Harlots-style cast doing a Peaky Blinders!

I mean I don't want to be rude but it should keep practising if this is what it came up with, lol

it's a "loose remake" of KH&C but lacks a lot of the original vibes (and has a completely different ending)

brb, sending the scammer the link to the music video for Jess Glynne's Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

Probably, but I really liked the idea of a scammer writing this slightly doubtful email. "It's probably bad, probably, okay? so.. just... I mean I can't be sure that... but PROBABLY"

"I will send this entire package to darknet markets, where other criminals will buy it.
It is unknown how they will use this information. They may purchase something illegal in your name, or they may not, but you will definitely not like it."

Dude, come on. Try to sound confident while you scam!

I just got a threatening spam email, and this one might be my favourite ever. It begins exactly like this:

"Your phone is quiet's orientation.
Ok. I don't have much time, so let's get straight to the point.
I want to make you an offer that you can refuse, but only once."

Wait, I can refuse it??

Three screenshots from the BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation. 
First panel: Miss Caroline Bingley, a smirking white woman with dark hair, says "Mr Darcy, has this escapade affected your admiration for her fine eyes?"
Second panel: Mr Darcy, a serious white man with dark hair, replies "Not at all! They were brightened by the exercise."
Third panel: Miss Caroline Bingley looks at the floor, clearly stumped, and her inner thoughts read "dammit"

And thus begins THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, wherein said lady decides to reinvent herself to become just as Kind & Sweet & Irritatingly Beloved as Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

But she's going to need help, and who better to reform her than her former crush's sister, Georgiana Darcy? Only...
