Wanted to DM to say how much I love everything you are doing, so as to look less soppy. Elton says I can’t. So here we are! ❤️ You speak the contents of my brain and it is so helpful not to feel alone and mad.
Speaking as someone who runs a complaints team, if the BBC followed up with the complainant twice and couldn’t get hold of them, and then complainant then decided to go to the Sun (rather than respond or go to the Police) then fuck ‘em

I wish we could pay more to buy replica shirts with no sponsorship on them. This is another example of how goddamn ugly and depressing the whole thing is.
So I got hacked on Facebook and Meta have now deleted my account and told me I am blacklisted. For those who followed me there, or are interested in more dog content, I’m moving a lot to Instagram. Same handle. Less politics. Fewer sports.

P.s. Ate at the Mekong Cat in Stockport tonight and it’s as amazing as everyone said! Every visit to Stockport it gets better and better

My mother (in her 60’s) still insists on saying ‘pacifically’ instead of ‘specifically’, and it kills me. Neither me or my editor sister

have been able to fix her.
My friend Tim died this week. He used to call me ‘SBL’, which stands for ‘sophisticated banker lady’ because he found it endlessly entertaining that I had a real job (we met through the ska/punk scene). ‘SBL’ also has its own song, which ended with him saying ‘YES MATE’.

100% agree with this, but just as a point of interest, I moved to Budapest in 1993 and it took them several years to remove all the soviet statues. My mum wrote a novel about it - ‘covered statues’ - sadly unpublished (although apparently ‘my’ character in the book also died!)

We are about to move offices at work and unsurprisingly all the men are looking at the women to take ownership of tasks like cleaning the kitchen, ordering / replacing the milk, anything to do with printer toner.... I’ve expressly forbidden the women in my team from volunteering!

I’ve been in this situation many times and it doesn’t always feel safe to go over and ask them. Wind your neck in. Her point that as a society we are accepting this as normal in Manchester is valid, and hideous.

There aren’t many young ones, and his point is that the youth have been mortgaged with Brexit against their will. Luckily all the older people I know are sensible, but the demographics are clear…
Hi there traders of south Manchester ! I would love to buy some of your food for our fridge / freezer. We have a porch you can drop stuff in, although Mustard will still say hello. Respond to this message & I’m sure some of my followers will be in touch too x

My granny died last night. Conclusion was she would have wanted me to go on my first flight in a year, a couple of nights in Amsterdam. Just need to get to a bar before 8…..
To make mobility more accessible, the German government decided to introduce a 9-Euro-Ticket for the next three months.
A ticket with which you can use all public transport (except long distance trains) for one month.
And these three beauties are mine ❤️✨
