When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Wow.

Think I’m a lyrics first listener. Like to know the meaning, emotion, feeling behind a song. But then I have to like how it sounds. This question is difficult!

Oh I’m so happy. So so happy for Matt Weston & Tabby Stoecker. Gold!! 🥇

Amazing! 🤩

Oh I feel your pain and indeed have experienced it myself 🤣

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious
