The other kind of tea, Friday
Jon brought out the liquid kind of tea and got his own cup, trying not to fidget too much.
"I, um. I would like to apologise for last week. But I...well. Never mind. Anyway. This week, a man died. Which would normally fall under news rather than gossip, but the man in question was a horrendous piece of work and enjoyed being nasty to people, so why don't we gossip about how awful he was? I've brought a list of reasons if you need them.
"Or you can gossip about the other major news in this country this week, which is a former American president being indicted for being an idiot. And also a traitor. Or take your pick of royals gossip, because there's always plenty of that."
