Even if never have to hear Gary Neville speak during one of our games again, it will still be a million years too soon

What’s your favourite Princess of Wales II conspiracy theory? Mine is that she tried to cut in a fringe and ended up like Dave Hill and she’s in hiding until it grows out.

I too was bemused to receive ‘Swift Notes’ but for some reason, the solemn sincerity of the apology made me properly LOL

Before that, my boyfriend took me to Paris, because he is GREAT. And then when we got back I did a taxidermy class he bought me and I created THIS!

Anyway. I’ve neglected this place of late because I’ve had two weeks of nice things keeping me busy, culminating in a weekend away with my four best friends from my school days. Many lolz at photos of us together at our school leavers’ party… 30 years ago 🤯

Can’t tell you how stressful it was seeing the Spurs scores popping up on my phone while I was trapped getting my nails done and thus powerless to react

Yes, sitting in meetings and talking about genocide in terms of project management. Horrific. I was tense and on edge for the entire film, like I was having an anxiety dream.

Also when the grandma says “I wonder if Esther Silberman’s is there?” like you might casually remember an old neighbour who moved to a seaside town you’re just driving past

Just been to see The Zone Of Interest. It was one of those films where everyone feels like they can’t get up and leave when the credits roll, eventually causing my other half to mutter “I don’t think there’s going to be hilarious outtakes at the end, you know”

That really does look like May! I always find it quite sinister the way they just do the background people in smudgy grey. Like the court room was full of ghosts.

The most shocking thing about the case is the fact that the murderers are children, so it’s an odd artistic decision to make them look 55

This court artist seems to have mistaken the teenage murderers in the Brianna Ghey case for Russell Brand and Karen Matthews

I always thought Just A Minute couldn’t possibly get any more unbearably smug and middle-class, but then Nicholas Parsons died and Sue Perkins took over and yep, she’s managed it

It’s an inexplicable haircut choice, isn’t it? He can afford the best hairdressers in the land and still gets that done. Astonishing.

If Phil Foden wasn’t a footballer he would 100% be one of those horrible little Manc scrotes who sits on the tram smoking weed with his feet up on the opposite seat, playing shit music out loud on his phone and chucking his empty Red Bull can on the floor before getting off at Crumpsall

I expect so, yes. And of course he wasn’t doing anyone any harm. Also, it was a really nice restaurant and quite pricey so he obviously knows and loves his food. (His table manners were absolutely disgusting though so I’d just rather he hadn’t been seated in my eye line!)

There really is no more to it than that. He ate his starter, then ate his napkin while he was waiting for his main course. He was a very, very strange man. He also muttered to himself a lot, ate his meal in really odd way, and kept sort of rocking back and forth.

He’s a very, very strange individual and he’s sitting in my direct eye line so he’s hard to ignore. His table manners (even aside from the eating of napkins) are quite gross though so in a way I’d rather forget him

It wouldn’t even occur to me not to flush the loo in the night! It’s not that big a deal noise-wise. Controversially I’m going to say people are just wimps if they’re having sleepless nights because someone flushed the bog once in the early hours.

Haha, this somehow doesn’t surprise me. I imagine a lot of the parents, as they’ve steered the kids towards majorettes, have all the competitive and pushy instincts of the worst kind of ‘dance mums’, but are ALSO oddly attracted to enforcing strictly regimented marching. Awful combo.

“So what does it entail?” “Marching along in an awful costume doing occasional arm movements while one slightly older girl who is coincidentally the coach’s daughter gets all the attention, a stick to throw in the hair and a special hat.”
