I went to Sheffield Print fair at the weekend. 2nd year in a row. I love this. Some truly great local artists. Not _quite_ on the same level, but I was inspired to finally finish this in my lads room 🐙 - my 1st mural!

My girl is in a choir. I just bought tickets to see her in concert with her mates. Cost me more than when I saw f'kin Radiohead. She's okay like and I know she doesn't have the complicated history with Israel… but still. They were supported by Asian Dub Foundation. Financially devastated. #parenting

Right. Don't want to get too political, but is this perhaps the first vaguely positive thing that we can pin on TikTok since crawling out of whichever pit of hell the Chinese state apparatus cultivated it in?

She'll be standing in for Alan Carr this week on Rupaul's Drag Race next week to invite the girls to play 'Cheesy or queasy' there too.

They arrested that nutter who the accidentally police let out. Tabloid editors must be furious. Reckon if he'd been better at hide-and-seek then they'd have been able to have a nice easy week "speeking there brainz" about what this means about all sorts of issues. Sorry, lads.

Was sat in the pub near people discussing the following:
- People in their 20s who go to 2025 Oasis gigs are awful
- People of any age who go to 2025 Oasis gigs are awful
- People called Ian are boring
- Going to sleep listening to Moby
That's a good hit rate. I wonder if they'll be my friends?
