LIFE IN THE ARTS LANE

🤣🤣🤣

Hang on… if Fash and Fasher are getting a divorce; who gets custody of JD Vance?

“I would the college of the cardinals
Would choose him pope, and carry him to Rome,
And set the triple crown upon his head:
That were a state fit for his holiness”

[Henry VI 2 - 1:3]

Think Steve next door has just elected himself the new pope.

I think primarily from this classy response to anti-Boris protestors when she was - inexplicably - in government.

Oh yeah: they’re bitter, nutty, leave a sour taste and are hard to swallow.

When you’re giving a Mayoral speech at 6am, but appearing as a Quality Street at 7am.

“Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them”

I think you’re right. Sad times.

It’ll be absolute carnage.

At least her speech was conciliatory, graceful and statesmanlike…. 😜

Elected loads of MAGA wannabes to councils / parliament.

Good God, England.

Use your brains, engage your hearts and show some bloody self-respect before it’s too late.

Ffs. I thought BlueSky was free of total wallopers.

But turns out the block button is still useful over here.

Yes it was. Deeply. Failing to prepare effectively and then fully expecting someone else you’ve never met to sort out your mess, despite them having paid and prepared for their own.

But I expect you didn’t mean that.

Yep. So charmed that I at least have a passing acquaintance with familiar social media tropes and sarcasm. And I also don’t pop by other people’s posts just to be a dick and try to score some sort of suffering win. But you do you.

I had booked and paid for an aisle seat in a specific part of the plane and she wasn’t offering similar in return.

Besides which, her lack of organisation in pre-booking isn’t my problem.

So. The unthinkable happened today. That thing that you always assume only happens to others.

A woman on a flight asked me to switch seats so she could sit next to her travelling companion.

And I said no. No justification. No apology. Just ‘no thanks’.

Not rude. Just firm.

Growth.

Inexplicably orange skinned man waving 1980s Eurovision results style board

Keep expecting him to process a ‘nul points’ for Norway and then hand over presenting duties to Katie Boyle in some 1980s-Eurovision-inspired fever dream.

You know who doesn’t cost the tax payer too much?

Disabled people.

You know who does cost the taxpayer too much.

The rich.
Not the comfortable.
The rich.
The uber rich.

Tax the fūckers.
Properly.

Have just realised that Russell Kane and Nick Grimshaw are two different people.

With no disrespect intended to the wonderful people who donate time, effort and energy to such campaigns: but these #ComicRelief type telethons have had their day. Little discernible entertainment value; and an awkward relationship with the increasingly vacuous and disproportionately well-off hosts.

Note to self: when someone asks you to guess their age… always take off fifteen years… not five.

Trump talking about protecting high IQ people: priceless.

In every great band, there comes a time when a forward-thinking creative goes solo.

When Geri left the Spice Girls.

When Robbie left Take That.

But this one really hurts.

How will Reform cope without the unique vocal stylings of Rupert ‘No-one lower’ Lowe?

Needs to cut back on the avocados
