I’ve had no regular income since June, and am barely getting by on (very meagre) benefits.

Just putting this out there so the right people hate me, as I’ve seen the kind of person who hates fellow tax-paying humans who happen to require income assistance.

If social media algorithms are so damn smart, why have I never been remotely interested in a single thing any platform has ever shoved under my nose?

One total weirdo happens to like wearing sheets, clanking chains and going BOO. He dies, becomes an extrovert phantom, and all ghosts become stereotyped by association.

I've been there and done that, but I couldn't afford the t-shirt, so I just got a stick of rock with it written through the middle.

Did Mick Jagger gives Giles Martin a bung to put Anthology 4 out like this? Roll on Anthology 5.
Surely all Beatle freaks will have agreed by now that Anthology 4 is a puzzling disappointment of truly surreal proportions. Yet, unlike any other band, the best bits are still the ones that make you laugh out loud. Like this one: #FabFoolsFriday youtube.com/playlist?lis... ✌🏽🎶🃏

Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt person in global history.

I really should use the Shakespearean word 'incarnadine' more often. Just need folk to turn more things red in my presence.

Pop Larkin was always offended whenever anyone drew attention to his speech defeck.

Just published a book.

Think it's good.

People say it is.

But really need to sell more copies.

Please grab one. Cheap!

I'd fully support mandatory community work for anyone who watched Stranger Things beyond series 2. You can't say you don't have the spare time.

Remember, if by any chance you happen to find yourself in such a position as to be able to in any way nullify a racist or fascist of any kind, without doing harm to yourself or innocent people, ALWAYS take out the trash.

This Times article has been brought to my attention. I think the idea is that I'm supposed to feel grateful not to have been written out of history altogether, and I know this is for a charity auction, but this is incorrect, the Blackadder book does contain 100% of the full Bethlehem script!

It's very bad luck to say Macbeth – when on a quiz show, being asked to 'Name a Shakespeare play set in Verona', for a £100,000 prize.

I'm all for arranged marriages. It's terrible when you don't know where the church is and what time the reception starts.

The question isn't 'Is Nigel Farage a racist piece of shit?' – we've known that pretty clearly since we first heard his name – but it's 'Why are there so many other racist pieces of shit that anyone in this country even has to know the bastard's name at all?'

I don’t want Robbie Gibb to resign. I want him to be bricked up in the old TV Centre with nothing but a webcam broadcasting on the BBC Red Button.

Poor, poor rich men. I don't want any sickeningly wealth people to suffer, so if you're reading this now, just get in touch for my bank details. I will bravely shoulder your burden (Give 99% of it away).
