Every time I’ve been to any Scandinavian country I feel like they know English better than I do.

It’s unlucky to discuss Macbeth. Maybe that’s what the government want?

Nonsense that people coming to the UK need to have an A-Level standard of English. Proper British values are not learning the language at all & just pointing & shouting at stuff you want till you get it.

Mine too! But it wasn’t happy about it

Ooof. That’s a kicker. RIP that man and that voice. One of the few people left on my list of hoping to see them live one day. So sad.

I enjoyed it a lot. I (and by I, I mean my bladder) still wishes it was 20 mins shorter

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

Enjoy! I know it’s on Apple Music but not sure if it’s in all the places. It’s perfect stuff.

I was listening to the Live In The Studio - Mediasound Studios, New York 1976 recording and it’s such a beautiful hour of him to get lost in. All his chat is mesmerising inbetween such perfect studio versions of lots of the nighthawks stuff.

We did it! Thanks so much to everyone who came to the Union Chapel gig today (and watched at home!). We premiered our cartoon, got Bunny + Monkey on stage to draw each other, and thanks to audience suggestions we drew a comic about bums + toilet bushes.I also got to hang with Max, who dressed as me!

Imagine being this lame

The Telegraph saying that an activist dancing dressed as a frog is a terrorist (in coward quotes), and for some reason they’ve added that the person is non-binary

It’s true! Afterwards I did the longest wee of my life. It was like a streamlined Niagra Falls

Taking the kid to see @jamiesmart.bsky.social at the Union Chapel and the queue to get in is longer than any other shows I’ve seen here. Take that [long redacted list of bands and comedians that aren’t cool enough to make comics]
