finance officer has tried to have his cake and eat it.
You could say, he's "scone" too far.
You could also say, the company may never gateau-ver it.
You could also say, he's bitten off more than he can "choux"
Has anyone talked about how in "I May Destroy You",
@MichaelaCoel
gave all the characters names? Even if it was a waiter with one line. Love that, makes every character feel human. Plus, as an actor, you get a named character on your CV, not just "Man in Pub".
I left the Labour party this week. Finally had enough. The battle for who can be the law and order, dog whistle, boring as fuck, change nothing estate agent to rule the country can continue without my money. It's so thoroughly depressing.
Ok. If this is your first election and you haven't registered yet, show me proof that you're registering now and one lucky registeree will win a Christmas card signed by the cast of

It's true! I had one line ("Thanks very much") which got cut. So I'm a glorified extra. But what a film to be a glorified extra on! Spending days with the wonderful Miranda Richardson, sitting in the green room with the cream of British acting talent, seeing Hogwarts. Joy.
Twitter, show some love to my amazing sister

They were lovely lads when I was their teacher in Skins, back in the day. Their continued success has been a joy to watch. I bumped into Dev a few years ago and we had a catch-up, he was still lovely.
Daniel Kaluuya says “after ‘SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE’, I went from getting food with [Dev Patel] in Wetherspoons to watching him at the Golden Globes, within a month—and he still checked in when he got back.”

Fuck Boris Johnson on his fucking plane flying in from his fucking Bahamas holiday to be man of the fucking people again. Fuck off forever. Fuck him, fuck his enablers, fuck his dad, fuck Rees-Mogg, fuck a duck, fuck me, what a to do.
Just watched 3rd ep in new series of Ghosts. Continues to be delightful.
@JimHowick
watching the biscuit dunk possibly my TV highlight of the year so far. Funny and touching and incredibly relatable, by God I'd miss tea and biscuits if I were a ghost.
Been trying to think of ways I could cheer people up. If you or someone you know is a big

fan (or likes anything else I've done) I'd be happy to record a personal video for you/them with a jolly message. Send me a DM, I'll try my best to reply.
Michael Gambon, what an actor. I had the privilege to meet him, briefly, on Harry Potter. He was funny, warm, friendly. Had the great pleasure of listening to him and

in the green room, dressed as wizards, reminiscing about old theatre jobs. Joy.
We wrapped on the Gavin and Stacey Xmas Spesh this week, had a wonderful time and hopefully you'll all enjoy this Christmas day. If you like Gavin and Stacey, that is. If not, there might be a Bond film on.
Our constituency (massive Tory majority) has possibly the UK's least exciting by-election today. I gave my vote to the

Nice to vote for a new voice with excellent policies.
I've decided to delete my, what was supposed to be humourous, tweet about a certain person on Question Time after the replies were hijacked by people insulting a woman. I didn't mind the insults to me, and it was an interesting dip into the alt-right world but enough's enough.

They've been helping us as a family through lockdown due to the huge amount of their stuff I've recorded, including the CFF films and the entire run of Catweazle. Long may they run.
I would like *somebody* on the shadow front bench to say that the Rwanda scheme is morally reprehensible. Not just that it won't work, or is a waste of money. But that it is a horrible thing to do.
RIP to a great actor, and generous too. When I was a drama student and running out of money, my college reached out for sponsorship and Sylvia kindly donated some so I could continue my course.
Were you one of the TWELVE MILLION PEOPLE that watched

Are you a fan? Do you know one? Would you like to be in with a chance of winning a copy of the script for the upcoming Christmas special, signed by all of the cast?! Then read this thread to find out how!
Only found out on Saturday that the Tories have stolen our May Day bank holiday and moved it to Friday and made it all about the war instead of a day off for international workers. Give us two bank holidays you tight bastards.
Look, I know everyone seems to watch Happy Valley on a Sunday night, but I'm not in Happy Valley. I am, however, in Vera tonight on ITV. So watch Vera instead! Or tape it. Or stream it, if you're young.
I've said this every time for that last 10 years but I'm available to play

For the 3rd day in a row I'm about to walk the dog in my pyjamas, but disguised by waterproof trousers. Nobody knows I'm in my pyjamas! What a thrill! Happy December 29th to you all
Your reminder that Marcus Rashford shouldn't have to be doing this. There shouldn't have to be food banks. Any decent government wouldn't allow it, therefore we don't have a decent government.

I'm afraid Gavin Williamson is unavailable for comment as he accidentally roller skated out of the roller disco, through busy traffic, held on to the back of a double decker bus, then crashed into the mother and baby department of a shop and ended upside down in a cot.
@robertwilfort
You are relying on your own opinion that you are less of a twat. Perhaps people have never had the heart to tell you and that is why you are " Available".
I was regularly amazed by these commited groups of young people who'd often travelled miles to the nearest marginal seat and given up days of their time to come door knocking with us in '17/19. And they were all told by the current party they were stupid, unwanted and racist.
I remember Momentum organised a trip down to Crawley, about 25 people got the train at 9am on a Saturday and about half had never canvassed in an election before. The guy running the board couldn't believe how many people showed up and we canvassed parts they'd not done in years.
Fuck Oxbridge. Fuck the Tories. Fuck Ofqual. Fuck private schools. Tear the whole system down and scrape it into the bin. And for all those "Can you imagine what would've happened if Corbyn had got in" tossers, yes, I can imagine this wouldn't have happened.
Regular followers will know what this picture means to me. I finally made it to a pound shop and now have TWO flavours that I've never tried. Nearly shat myself with excitement.
Ok, one last push for this then I won't mention it till after Christmas. Your chance to win a copy of the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special script signed by all the cast! Money goes to the PTA of Waterside School, Chesham. £1 a ticket! Enter here
In honour of 50yrs since decimalisation, here's one of my favourite old bits and bobs we have knocking around the house, a New Decimal Currency Calculator key ring. Simply turn the wheel to find currency equivalence!

. Sadly, they film it in Welsh too and I can only say one sentence in Welsh. But, if my character likes coffee and is constantly telling people they like coffee, then we should get away with it.
Look, it's all good and cool when the Italians do it, but if any of my neighbours start singing some shit like Ed Sheeran or Oasis out of their windows when I'm trying to watch telly they can get stuffed.
Like any decent human I hope Johnson recovers, but this fucking front page can absolutely fuck off. 1,000 people died yesterday. Nurses are dying every day and Hatt Mancock telling them not to use PPE irresponsibly for fuck's sake. People FUNDRAISING FOR THE NHS. It's disgusting
Well, not much more to add to the whole Brexit shite, except that it is still infinitely depressing that the country chose the path of Farage, Rees-Mogg, Duncan-Smith, Banks et al. The country's biggest pricks, basically. Saddening, maddening, unfathomable.
