@mrjamesob Daniel did A Level French (I was in his class) and Spanish, and a degree Business Studies with French and Spanish. Who knows what he could have done with his life, rather than being forced to scrape by on an MP's salary, if he'd been able to do Finnish & Sanskrit?

@DylanByers Exclusive but you didn't hear it from me: Spotify's next bold leap forward will be to produce audiobooks but in a printed, portable, paper-based form. The R&D team are going to spend the next 6 months trying to find a name for the top-secret product.
