That's three shows in just over a week that were 1hr 40 min with no interval. Is that the fashion these days?

Good Night Oscar .... Glorious! Fantastic performances all round but Sean in particular*chef's kiss* 🎹

Definitely!

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre.

UEFA: Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

How did he die? Why are the times dark?

I didn’t talk about my experiences of GBBF 2023 as my book had just come out and I didn’t feel it was appropriate. But I wasn’t allowed into the building because the volunteers thought I was ‘a hawker’ even though the book was published by CAMRA. I kept getting stared at and one guy said 1/2

this is SUCH a lovely write up of my pub I'm proper having a little cry reading it - Steve writes delightfully about pubs at large and extremely generously about mine in particular

Maiden Voyage Southwark Playhouse Elephant & Castle.... Took about 10 mins to get going but REALLY GOOD!! Go SEA IT!

Oh shit, it's a 'Back to Win' season 🙄

Gotta say, I was horrified when I realised @newsagents.bsky.social Sports Agents had done an interview with him. Couldn't bring myself to listen to any of it.

We have a cheesy, evening chat show/magazine programme, The One Show, & years ago Matt Baker, the nicest man on earth asked then PM David Cameron "How do you sleep at night?" Everyone went CRAZY 😆 Matt claimed it was a genuine Q about workload etc but ... 😉

The most recent & memorable one was PCC for La Haine. Full, around 300 in maybe & so many that looked too young for first time around? The very last moment of the film, something shocking happened & everyone just shouted AAAAGGGH!!!! all at once. Pretty awesome tbh

Omg! And not expensive!!! (In comparison to what you expect of a wedding ring) 🦖

Inter Alia National Theatre £10 standing ... If the whole 1hr 40 was similar to the first 10 mins, I'd have been whooping & hollering at the end. But overall it was really good, not amazing. Too much *waves hands* stuff going on ... Wrangling the mic, standing on tables ...

Periodic reminder! It's impossible to fight if you're exhausted. Take some time for yourself this weekend. Maybe lose yourself in a book for an afternoon. It's what we're fighting for after all.

Fancy a kick about?

My pals at @vidiots.bsky.social created an interactive experience during the film breaking fakeout scene in their screening of Gremlins 2: The New Batch last weekend. It's even better than what I had hoped to do in 1990! 😁

Let’s fucking GO

Aw, next time!!

I was literally there a fortnight ago 😆
