Well, you’re already a bit of a tit so I’d say you’re about halfway there. ---

> [@acsenray](#): > > Now that we’re mocking British colloquialisms, can I just say how annoying the British use of “sorted” is? I watch and listen to a lot of British programs, and it’s always “I’ve got to get dinner sorted” and “Get yourself sorted!” and “Really, I’m sorted now” and sorted this and sorted that. It makes you Brits sound like a bunch of obsessive-compulsives who have to keep rearranging their belongings using different sorting methods. If you were, in fact, sorted, you’d understand. But it’s early doors yet. You may one day come to see the light. Or you may go totally pear shaped. We got that sorted? Lovely jubbly. ---
