Spoiler: it’s every other day
Me at midnight waiting for the moronic ‘ what about international men’s day’ posts.
Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
Brain fart day

Everyone who knows this song knows just how special it is. It will be picked in every challenge for which it is eligible, and I think it's a mighty fitting ending to this mighty fitting challenge.
💯 spot on from Stuart - theyre just fucking actors after all
FWIW I think the BBC made a mistake, but this shows a crass misunderstanding of the situation by the members of the acting community.

So, farewell then Zemansky and Hecht & Zajac

As an undergrad
But no more.
Landfill is the end
Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
