OMG we're ~48 hours into the new PM's tenure and we have 'serious constitutional issues'. Spouse now under the bed and not coming out till we have a #GeneralElection

Reading the instructions for a Dutch PhD I'm soon to examine:

'Five minutes prior to the defense, Beadle brings in candidate and paranymphs ...'
