Tired today! #NighttimeEconomy
It’s the ‘is this a pigeon meme’ – a 90s Japanese anime character (human android) mistaking one thing for another except it’s me reviewing a funding application at 2am asking ‘is this the night time economy?’

Businesses: “Business support is fragmented.”

Government: “Can’t be fragmented if it’s all listed on one website.”

It’s the roll safe/taps head meme to indicate that this is definitely a great idea. A screenshot of actor Kayode Ewumi grinning and pointing to his temple while portraying the character Reece Simpson in the series Hood Documentary.

Happy New Year! Hope you either had a good break or were busier than you hoped for over Christmas and New Year. 12th night so why not have one last party? I’m looking forward to being back at it tomorrow ⚒️
It’s a meme! A poor screenshot of a tweet from @the_petshopboy with the text “me at work tomorrow for the first time in two weeks trying to remember what it is I do.” above a picture of Big Bird sat at a conference table with a bunch of white men on computers.

Another busy week… Good job I did an Hodmedod’s order #FavaBeans
A meme: Screenshot of a tweet from Roy Graham, @Grayhaem: “Mankind wasn't meant to work in December. We were meant to hide from wolves, drink, and pray our autumn harvest will last us through the Dark Months”

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera…
The drake meme. No to using etc. because there are too many examples. Yes to using etc. because you don’t know any more examples

Off to talk business support and ‘inclusive economy’. Probably
Going to ask “why don’t we just print more money” in a room full of men just to feel something.
