Opus the penguin standing on a stool, distressed, shouting ‘Holy Mother of Sweet Baby Jehosaphat!’

Stupid people who don’t even realise Britain’s been multicultural since the Romans invaded (if not before).

Also I will be having curry tonight and I will savour every spicy mouthful.

I’m about to finish Anna by Niccolo Ammaniti. One of the more impressive post-pandemic apocalypse novels I’ve read (and written a matter of 5 years before COVID). Highly recommended!

Getting it together is overrated. Pass me that weighted blanket and the remote.

Erm. Well. [whispers] Sit on my Face and Tell Me That You Love Me by Monty Python. Sorry.

Also; I Want You by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Mayhaps; Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years

Also Oedipus Rex by Tom Lehrer.

Who is the water sausage and what did they do with Steve?!?!

Integrity. Hmm. Suspect he’s say that’s radical leftist hate America language, like ‘compassion’, ‘ethics’, ‘justice’…
