Good morning, without some Dutch courage...

Morning

@thomas I like the idea that "Dutch courage" is the courage to bring booze to London even when the plague was on. Let nothing stop your drug dealing!

@otfrom i like the stories you like 😄

helios10:08:22

true or false, they make for good storytelling 😄

otfrom10:08:20

never let the truth get in the way of a good story, but make sure you can still tell the difference. 🙂

going to save this quote 🙇

skuro10:08:54

in this day and age, truth is not really stopping anyone to say anything at all, and people care less and less about strict truthiness of any statement. guess we're living in the javascript equivalent of social discourse

skuro10:08:04

on the bright side: it's great times for storytellers!

the first part of that quote was used by Boris J. so be careful what you wish for...

at least is by mark twain 🙂

I read somewhere that BoJo was using that quote to justify his EU bashing when he was a reporter in Brussels and made up stories about 🍌
