When you’re at gym and no one realises you’re a Wicked fan blasting the soundtrack during workout 😅💚🖤

Thank you “No Good Deed” for powering me through these reps! 🔥🎶

I watched Wicked Part 1 THREE times in the cinema, so I’m getting myself fully prepped for Part 2 by living in this soundtrack 🪄✨

How do news programmes pick panellists for debates? 🤔🎤

Tomorrow Tuesday, 11:30–12:50pm, I’m on @jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social debating news. Producers look for panellists with different perspectives - makes the clash worthwhile ⚡️

My first time debating Cristo Foufas - hope we disagree! 😅

Unusual request:

As I grew up on a council estate in East London, a friend asked if I know some commonly known words/phrases that are considered "working class".

Any suggestions?

💈 Would you lend your barber £20 cash? 🤔

He asked me this question this week and it made me think 💭

How do you ask out someone you’ve just met at an event? 🤔

You know that moment when you feel a spark during a great chat? ✨
Lately, I’ve been getting braver - actually asking them out for coffee ☕️

But… I think my delivery still needs some serious work 😅

A global conversation has taken off after British Vogue published an article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?”

Greek philosopher Aristotle said "man is a social being" as we need the connection of others. But if something becomes your entire identity, then you might lose a bit of yourself.
