Lawrence supposedly said that, Trocadero was better than, Ziggy Stardust, which doesn’t surprise me & pleases me greatly tbh 😁😅✨ #TOTP

Delighted to be talking about Keshed at York Literature Festival in March, even more so cos i'm being interviewed by the amazing Naomi Booth. You don't wanna miss this one 🙏

Oh no, sneaky vids of Bethell are already showing up. He’s going to be hounded from now until whenever. Ugh…just let him be, don’t mess up his (private) life for him & add to the massive amount of pressure he’ll no doubt be under. #TheAshes #🏏

I thoroughly enjoyed that. I love The Ashes. England don’t have to win for me to still enjoy every single ball. It’s a good job really, considering England have only won 5 in Australia post war!! 😅✨✨

Labuschagne looked genuinely, desperately distraught with his run out. I honestly wanted to give him a hug thru’ the screen. I really enjoyed watching him. His catches were just outrageous! Wonderful! Riling Stokes as predicted, see below -hilarious. He was an absolute highlight for me #TheAshes #🏏
Travis Head, talking about Labuschagne’s “punchable” face, & the ways in which he annoys everyone. (& how it can be to the advantage when he’s on your side)
We saw some evidence of this the other day with Stokes minor clash with him😅 #TheAshes #🏏

The two occasions on which Tongue has claimed Head appear to be the only cases in Tests of one body part dismissing another. There have been a few other such names - Reginald and Phillip Hands, Archibald Palm, Don and Graeme Beard, David Brain - but none of them faced each other.

Alex Carey should have been player of the series for not completing a third run before the match-winning shot hit the rope, thereby earning himself an extra career run. Pro. #Ashes 🏏

OOOOooooOooooohhhhh!!!! #TheAshes #🏏 😅

Yes, I have been watching the Test, no, I couldn’t be bothered posting.
I enjoy watching Smith & Labuschagne’s quirkiness annoy everyone 😅
& the fact that Travis Head said that ML had a, “very punchable face” when in opposition but loved him on his own team (annoying the opposition) 😁 #TheAshes #🏏

Tbf there’s a lot of good hair on this episode, no I’m not being sarcastic & that wasn’t sarcastic either 😄✨ #totp

So, are they saying that the Meercats are small, furry, Russian oligarchs now? 🤔

An outrageous catch from Labuschagne! Wonderful! 👏👏👏👏✨✨ #🏏 #TheAshes #Ashes #cricket

The fact that everyone knew about Walliams for years but he didn’t get outed until his book sales (which accounted for 48% of Harper Collins’ total sales) dropped by 60% is just a coincidence, surely?

That whole, ‘there’s a reason why it’s called a Test’, trope is also pretty pertinent for England fans 😅 #Ashes #TheAshes #🏏

I always wanted to see what was on Chris Lowe’s screen when he was on #TOTP & always hoped it would say,

10 PRINT “HELLO MUM”
