"Mate, he's loaded. He's got a houseful; there's cash in every room. He can't spend it fast enough!"

“Isn't it crazy that clowns have been around longer than Christianity?”

"Be nice! I told you if you were nice to me, I'd let you share my Monjauro!"

"If you don't it'll haunt you for life, and not the good kind of haunting"

“You know how it is mate it’s just NFN”
“What’s that?”
“Normal for Nottingham.”

Community support officer to another, NTU campus: “Bro, imagine if we had to go around, like, hunting bison…”

“Swimming isn't a bad sport for your knees.”
“I know, I think that's why they put dogs in pools.”

Someone pointing at the council house: “Look at that cathedral!”

In Cobden Chambers:
“I did have a good portfolio until my cat pissed all over it.”

“She's got more screws loose than an IKEA wardrobe.”

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
