For me he's both Thomas Cromwell in Wolf Hall and Flop, from toddler nightmare show Bing, leading to much confusion in my brain when watching either show.
Specsavers with some performance art in this email. Leaning into the joke there, lads.
Loved this place, though. Every local kid's starter theme park before you were tall enough (and had saved enough cereal box coupons) for Alton Towers. Tower of Terror was my first upside-down ride. They hid the loop in the tower so cowards like me only found out they loved loops afterwards.
Was enjoying the nostalgic Camelot theme park article in the @manchestereveningnews.co.uk until the unsettling final image.
Gotta say, I did not know how we were gonna get this pristine white poster out of a sweaty packed show in a heatwave. Solution - bought at the end, rolled, then clasped with a handy studded wrist cuff. Genius. I'll just bring a paper tube next time.
Disney's 'hot man' meeting for Tangled's Flynn Rider, calling in female staff to consult on his design. I think early sketches had him as some sort of giant neckless hulk or rather evil-looking, but they got better feedback from the meeting and ended up with a completely different design.
The podium but surrounded by 9 tacky Greek statues and a spitting dolphin fountain.
Took Eldest to femtanyl last night. (I kinda like them live, it reminded me more of classic punk or screamo...) Kids are gonna realise that I'm a soft touch when I let them choose merch. I will say yes. I love merch. I love buying them things. They can have all the merch.
UK game dev skews really young, I remember the 2022 census comparing it to the overall workforce and saying it was worse in 2020 🫠
Today's Zero Parades. Did some perfect status bonsai and had a good sleep, everything below 3, honed my outfit, ready to leave for a fine day's questing... then ran around Foto24 doing mad shit till I died. Worth it.
"Let's get tough. The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major - and I mean major - leaflet campaign."
Heads up, British users were banned from looking at adult material full stop, unless we scan our passports (lol no), thanks to new verification/censorship laws, so unverified Brits won't see any of the account or posts at all. No option to click through.
Saw Ella Red and Lølø last night, accompanying my youngest to her first gig. Great show, great crowd. Hoodie acquired, and signed! 🩷 I hadn't listened to either artist beforehand, and it turns out front row at a pop-punk gig was exactly what I needed right now. Also, ear protection. That too.
We're dealing with this right now. Apparently all this 'tutor' app does is crash, dish out near-gibberish text and blocks children from completing tasks if they 'read too fast'. It's infuriating my kid, and it blows my mind they have paid for the stress and upset this is causing.
tbf tho the men's shower gel flavours are the best (my daughter offering to pick me up some. They were all out of Glistening Boatman)
