Intellectually I know it is causing me and my life absolutely no harm at all but I can't help feeling there is something very cursed and sinister about Timmy's Tiny Beard and a lot of things would get better in the world if we shaved it off

I've had the Alan Partridge version of Wuthering Heights in my head for a full week.

If money was no object, what would your ideal gallery/museum be? What specific pieces would you like to see alongside each other? What's the visitor experience? What ridiculous things would you spend money on? What nonsense ideas would you want to try? Who would be doing it?

I'm furious and ashamed of this country. The main thing the UK has given to the world in recent years is the oppression of trans people

Saying you stand with trans kids, that you believe in inclusion, that you ban them with a "heavy heart" is the most disgusting display of cowardice. Words are meaningless if you say something while doing the opposite.

There was no Black Friday discount on LMAOnaise membership because we ALREADY HAVE A 20% OFF birthday discount and it runs until the end of the year!

You can get an entire year for 8/10s of the price (I think that's the best way to describe it)

Dynamic pricing is exploitative and theatres should be ashamed of doing it

I used it in conversation with my friend the other day and they way he looked at me when I said "I'm just having such a problem with cancel culture at the moment"... I think it's important to popularise *my* usage of the term

29.11.2025 14:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I've started using the term "cancel culture" to refer to people cancelling plans at the last minute because this is a very real and annoying issue that affects my life, unlike the other definition of cancel culture which isn't real as people like jimmy carr and louis ck prove daily

sometimes things suck and you've got a headache and it's raining and you've just had your hair done and the bus is on diversion and then just as you're nearly at your door you realise you have chicken kiev in the freezer x

All Mouth, dragging Sondheim and a bone…or is it? Comedy shows to see this week :)

So much amazing comedy and cabaret this week across the country. I’m so relieved to see that the London drag community are remembering Sondheim on the anniversary of his passing with possibly THE BEST SHOW TITLE OF ALL TIME!!??
