"Ed Milliband is probably a bit more left wing than Shabana Mahmood" In other news: water is wet.
Saw some people mouthing off at Blackpool being shortlisted for City of Culture 2027, so I decided to stick up for my hometown. All being well, and I keep at it this should be post 1 of 4. open.substack.com/pub/kriswhow...
I continue to make sacrifices to the creative writing goblins in the hope they'll eventually convince an employer to reply. open.substack.com/pub/kriswhow...
Wrote a little thing about clearing away my work laptop before handing it back, and acting. open.substack.com/pub/kriswhow...
So like... if you know, or are an arts/heritiage/cultural organisation, or a small (non shady, preferably artsy) business and need some help. I am available on a freelance basis, and I hate business jargon and I'm just a widdle guy.
Well... I feel it may be time to blow off the dust from the Think About Eurovision engines...
I promised a post about salad. I think this may be one of the best things I've written. open.substack.com/pub/kriswhow...
Yeah, posted about it earlier but I think I may have ballsed up the link. I've started writing again. Don't know how frequent I'll be, and if it'll be any good. But I have to keep the brain occupied. open.substack.com/pub/kriswhow...
*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep. That's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up covered in flour in a car park. The answer is community theatre. I will not be taking further questions. #CommunityTheatre #BakeOffMusical
Twix is enjoying a frozen Hydralife on his licki mat. Keeps him cool and hydrated after being out in the heat
@itsnovabish.novympia.com I really appreciate these trousers. Where did you get them from?
So, today I have just been told that the Swedish conglomerate is taking over control of the franchise of GreenThumb I work for, and that my admin role is going to be downgraded to call centre monkey if I sign a contract with head office. And, Doctor Who is effectively cancelled.
You should come and see me play Dezza, the vegan hipster in the #BakeOff musical. And I don't want to hear excuses like "oh, but Kris, I live in a different country" like planes don't exist and it wouldn't be completely worth it www.ticketsource.com/garstang-mus...
How's your evening? I've just seen M to the B, Millie B, herself.
On behalf of the UK, I would like to say "thank you Latvian Juror G" #Eurovision
Everyone talks about Alexander "Violin Tosser" Rybak not aging, but nobody talks about how Mr Lordi also hasn't aged a day since 2006.
It seems we've all had the same gut bad feeling. @realmarciehatter.bsky.social @cqedinburgh.bsky.social @peteturton85.bsky.social @suisnish.bsky.social
Right. Actually. I need a drink to get through this. Far too many jury points going to Israel. #Eurovision (Just a little Baileys)
I can't wait to hear from the Sporks Person #Eurovision
I would like to visit Moldova. It just seems neat. #Eurovision
