I saw it in the cinema followed by a Q&A with the director, and he said the initial cut of the film was about 15 hours long!

Back in the day my music loving mates were a few years ahead of me and I thank them profusely for making me go and see Frank every year in the comedy rent at Reading.

I keep seeing this shop and seriously considering buying every single thing in it. I don't, because as I've said before I am why I can't have nice things, and all these things would end up not actually put on display and covered in coffee. But I'm very tempted. It's like seeing inside my own head.

A later photo of Cynthia Payne in her chintzy suburban home, wearing a patterned purple frock and holding up a sign which reads β€œPlease adjust your clothing before leaving”. On her mantelpiece, alongside some kitsch ornaments, including one in china of a couple dancing, is a large Luncheon Vouchers logo

It’s the 47th anniversary of the raid on Cynthia Payne’s house in Ambleside Avenue, Streatham, in which police found men (including, apparently, a Lord, an MP, and some vicars) queueing on the stairs waiting to pay for sex with luncheon vouchers

This Brooklyn Museum photo shows a sketch made in black ink on a stone-coloured limestone flake (known as an ostracon by Egyptologists). The sketch depicts a scene with a cat and a mouse imitating human behaviour. On the right, a tabby cat is drawn in profile with pointed ears, standing on its hind legs in front of a large mouse seated on a folding stool on the left of the scene. The cat is depicted as a servant; in one paw it holds a fan, and offers a plucked duck, in the other paw it holds a piece of linen cloth. The mouse has drooping breasts, wears a long skirt, has a lotus flower on its forehead, and its long tail hangs down over the back of the stool. The mouse holds a dish, a flower, and cloth (often held by pharaohs). Dimensions 8.9 x 17.3 x 1.1 cm. Dated  c. 1295–1075 BC. Animals imitating human behaviour are well-known in Egyptian art. Their meaning is uncertain. Perhaps this sketch is a caricature or illustration of a long-lost fable, perhaps a satire of the royal family, or maybe just a sketch for fun!

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁

The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

If I was Wes Streeting I wouldn’t be able to live with myself but luckily for him he doesn’t possess one single shred of empathy or, in fact, a soul, so he can continue his evil work without worrying!

"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

The vet suspects my dog might have Cushing's and asked me to take a urine sample. He recommended "a long Tupperware thing that you can put into the dishwasher".

Keeps making me laugh.
