Imagine writing a joke so perfect that years later all someone has to do is post your picture in quote-reply and everyone (of a certain age and TV audience) nods knowingly and smiles

As awful as it is, & it is awful, I can't stop giggling at the thought of Trump & his ICE agents trawling through the last 5 yrs of my social media. Because if they don't have a deep working knowledge of classic British comedy from the 1960s onwards they won't understand a bloody word I'm on about.

Cinderella – The Ipswich Regent Panto – Guest Review
A Guest Review by Steve Roche The Ipswich Regent reopened to host the opening night of the festive pantomime Cinderella. After an ambitious and expensive refurbishment the old place was resplendent with its beautiful new spaces and enhanced facilities. Cinderella is one of the most traditional and often-performed pantos of them all. No surprises with the plot then, but naturally plenty of scope for extra bits and pieces, tailored to suit the skills of the cast. A bit of coarse comedy early on raised concerns it was going to be on the ‘adult’ side, but it soon calmed down and became fun for all the family.

Just awful news from Bondi Beach. Antisemitism is an evil that continues to thrive. My thoughts are with all of my Jewish friends and the whole Jewish community at this horrible time.
