From the Facebook Archives

Last night in bed we did the Guardian Weekend quiz (not a euphemism) and got a paltry 9.
Fester "Who the hell knows about Katy Perry?"
Me “You're not au-fait with the zeitgeist.”
"I'm au-fait with my zeitgeist"
“That's not the same as everyone else's zeitgeist.”
"Maybe, but then I'm the only bloke I know with perfect taste."
Drummerman  So not suffering from weltschmerz then...
Bentonbag  Don't know.  What are the symptoms?  Can you get cream for it?
Drummerman  I’m told Dr Schadenfreude is an excellent source.
Bentonbag  I didn't ask for sauce I asked for cream.
Drummerman  OK, try Mr Munch, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream
McChurch  "Au fait wiv `is zeitgeist"?  I know we`re all super enthusiastic Europeans, but let`s not get bleedin` carried away!
