STOP.
We have a major news story in our house. It's been building up for a few days and this afternoon came the denouement.
It's the story of a banana.

Met Gethyn for a cuppa today and I’m really looking forward to this, and much more.
We are working on something special with City Lit — and yes, listening is at the heart of it. Here is Founder Dame Evelyn Glennie with trustees Gethyn and Gem on a recent site visit. Watch this space!

I hate this so much. Every time I see it I go 'Hey, I don't remember saying that', like Homer when Bart drew a speech bubble on his photo.

He went uptown in a tatty fleece
A lady reported him to the fashion police

This the only Blue Monday I’m interested in this month. I’m already feeling the strain on my eye muscles from all the rolling they’ve been doing. Enough already.

I spent an afternoon in ‘Diddy’ David Hamilton’s house watching The Secret of Nimh.
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

I spent an afternoon in ‘Diddy’ David Hamilton’s house watching The Secret of Nimh.
Last week I came round the corner and a guy was pretending he had two guns and was spinning around ‘shooting’ his partner. As I walked past I silently showed him my hand in the shape of a pistol and moved it as if I was putting my gun into a holster inside my coat. He winked. I shushed. We walked on
Walked around a corner once and someone up the road was bowling a fake cricket delivery so I did a fake slog back over his head. He turned around to fake watch the ball go for six, and put his hands on his head in fake exasperation
Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”

i know this is hardly a new take but isn’t it WILD that wikimedia has to ask for donations to keep itself afloat when every LLM in the world has been trained on wikipedia data?
This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.
Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.
