My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.

£185 for a Fortnum's teapot seems an ambitious bit of targeted email marketing.

I went back to the hotel for an early night the evening everybody else I was with ended up hanging out with Keanu Reeves at the John Wick premiere.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

I think it is important to do readings in church in a restrained and measured tone, and not act them out.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Big news: I just successfully took delivery of a package without talking too loud or saying "very thanks" or inexplicably trying to shake hands with the delivery guy

Uber driver has just apologised to me for slowing down to the speed limit. "There are cameras here. They try to catch you out."

Have listened to two podcast episodes in two days in which an American tries to say 'Edinburgh'. It's a close call but I think I prefer 'Edinburg' to 'Edinborrow'.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Just woke up in the cinema to the rolling credits and the cold, shameful realisation that oops, I did it again.

Relatedly, I probably quite enjoyed some of The Mastermind.

ATTENTION, there is a military band playing Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins on the concourse at Paddington Station. This is not a drill.
