The paedos that prey together stay together.

“He bit me with my own teeth!”

Any agency that signs “her” is asking for a massive row with all its other clients.

And let's face, they don't come much stranger...

Packages of anything in a prime number are annoying.

I would understand a seven-pack of something you might use one of daily - it's one week's worth - but ham?

Actors?! A few at the top of the tree may make fortunes, but the vast majority of us (roughly 96%, the last time Equity checked) hold down full-time second jobs to support ourselves. It's one of the most insecure professions there is.

Strangely, I had less concern for Sal and Dean chasing the spirit of jazz across the dying beat scene of America, and more for the numberless horde of women they left raising fatherless children in their wake...

Gaaah, bloody hell. I misread that as "The Road" and thought "weird comparison, but okay."

Re-read it and felt like an idiot, not least because I think On The Road is self-important drivel. Count me squarely on team Fear & Loathing.

And a smaller fourth, who love both (raises a shy hand)?

And all the pleas for reviews for everything! I write for a living, I’m not giving them free labour to help them advertise…

Presuming Ed’s in Brighton is the only place I’ve found that has Fritz Cola, and go there regularly for that reason.

That fucker got me too! Utterly infuriating.

The play’s superb as well. First staging had John Hurt and Leonard Rossiter!

We had three baby gulls (gullings? Gullets?) nesting on our roof last year. Little bastards used to tap on the window of our attic bedroom at 5am for weeks on end.

"Should the KKK be allowed to wear hoods? It depends whom you ask."

Something like 96% of all actors in the UK have second jobs now. People don't like to discuss it much, but it's endemic.

Someone on Twitter writes: "You think he gives a shit? His company (and net worth) went up in magnitudes of billions during his presentation yesterday. That's the last thing he cares about. :laughing emoji:

Any time I talk about a wealthy person's outfit, someone in the comments is quick to reply: "They're rich, you think they care?" No one has to care about my opinions or clothes, regardless of net worth.

But let's talk about the connection between wealth and aesthetics 🧵

If you have Netflix, Derry Girls may still be on there, and it’s bloody brilliant.

Ah. I have no idea!

There should be tonnes of clips of the NI Parliament on BBC iplayer.

It’ll be dull as dishwater for your students, but you’ll get a good spread of NI accents.

A black and green screen capture of an old video game shows a skeleton collapsed on a long stretch of desert road ahead of a wagon with two cow skeletons behind him. A title box above reads "Freelancer has died of exposure."

Destroying the enrichment facilities was not the objective. Puffing up Trump's ego and sense of puissance was, especially after last week's dismal parade.

As such, it *was* a spectacular success. The world is aghast; Trump feels important. Objective achieved.

The Cement Garden. I was only 17, all I knew was that Barry Norman had said it was very good! Was not really braced for all the, er, incest.

Conversation afterwards was... muted.

An American soldier would call in an airstrike.

How the hell has a party without any MPs prevented anyone from making the most of Brexit's opportunities?

"Now the lifeboats are all adrift, we can finally start making the most of the iceberg's opportunities."

Agreed, especially in shows with different directors working on different episodes; how is house style established, and communicated to guest stars/new regulars/day players?

Was he definitely talking about the weather, and not the reception?

It’s not against any religion…

Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible | Adam Rutherford At a time when US scientists are under attack from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is dangerous, says geneticist Adam Rutherford

A mammoth circus of macabre fantasy and moral bankruptcy.
I got my views on mammoths down. Enjoy.

Okay, how can I get an Irving B mug?
