People paying £100 to go and see Les Miserables and bobbing their heads to "the blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France" then going home to their nice houses to tut at the news of the French riots.
Smiling because it's a year to the day our engagement was publicly announced 🥰 Grog! 🍻
Just finished watching The Owl House with my daughter and now we're both hyped and emotional 🥹😭
