Guessing Badenoch hasn't been to the M&S men's department on Oxford Street. #topical
The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence
Just discovered my Bayeuz Tapestry x Adebayor gif so that's nice isn't it
Got distracted by this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH03... and completely forgot about my cup of tea.

Pair of Ashes tickets secured for Trent Bridge at least (£155!). Hopefully, it will go to a third day.
Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏
I had this bit about Jeffrey Archer from the 1995 HIGNFY video memorised for whenever I needed a handy fact about him.
If you want to be a serious political party with a chance of running the country, you simply can't allow your manifesto to be governed by "how many cranks can pay a nominal membership fee and log in for an online vote"

I didn't fall asleep, and it was very good. Simon Abkarian and Simon Russell Beale were excellent as De Gaulle and Churchill respectively. Have booked Part Deux for Saturday.

Am definitely going to fall asleep during De Gaulle Part One.
Laibach outstanding tonight. Audio-visual feast, with dancing lessons and instrumental intermission.
For the second time, I am returning from the Shire and heading straight to a Laibach gig. Fortunately, not delayed on this occasion.

Love to get woken up at 11pm by my parents' drunk friend turning up uninvited to deliver some grapes from his garden.
Don't think I've ever seen what Branthwaite looks likes. That's some head of hair.
