On friday night I was hammered and the barman said 'there's a 50p charge on card payments under £10'
And my drunk self took great delight in shouting 'NO THAT'S ILLEGAL NOW'
And he said 'is it, my mistake' and tbh I think 2018 is awesome already.

We met and it wasn't vibes. I made my excuses (went for a dramatic 'housemate locked out').
Left the pub trying to part ways. Turns out we lived virtually next door to one another. Obvs there was no locked out housemate.
saw him every time I ever left the house after that.
What’s the most awkward date y’all ever been on?

Huge respect to Stormzy for this. When I was 21 I was terrified I couldn't be 'out' at 1xtra because I thought too many rappers were homophobic.
Things have changed a lot In a short time though.
Hoping we can move the witch hunt on from teenage tweets now...
I said some foul and offensive things whilst tweeting years ago at a time when I was young and proudly ignorant. Very hurtful and discriminative views that I’ve unlearned as I’ve grown up and become a man..

It seems, anecdotally, that 'runny nose' isn't considered a covid symptom. Everyone I know who caught Delta seems to have had this symptom - I found my symptoms indistinguishable from hayfever.

RIP to the club night that spawned the last decade of London's queer scene.
A powerhouse for inclusion and not taking yourself too seriously in the BGWMC days; and then a blueprint for LGBT commercial success.
To everyone who has ever supported, loved and been part of Sink The Pink, we deliver this piece of news with very heavy hearts, but full of pride at what has been achieved. 💖

Ok so I've been thinking about knickerbocker. Any radio stations want us to do our club night on air instead? Faggy pirate radio, featuring alt pop indie house and bad american accents? We'd need a 7 hour set and a crate of red stripe.
