The haircut of the moment is ‘The Claudia’, but not everyone has the luscious locks of la Winkleman. Not a problem. Fake fringes are everywhere – and I tried one out

Reminded me of Catherine Tate’s anecdote of singing Old Tyne Songs in a care home & when she said they were finishing, a resident shouted “Thank God, I thought you were going to stand in front of the faaahkin’ TV for hours!” 🤣
Popped in to mum’s care home to ensure her 1-2-1 carer took her to the “sing-a-long”.
Bless the group, they gave up their Sat afternoon- but they were pretty ropey. It was when one of the carers I know muttered “Another good song ruined” as they sang “Some Say Love” that I started to giggle 🤭

Stressed sounding volunteer in a charity shop;
“Yeah, I’ve had enough of Christmas , maybe I can use my ex-husband as target practice? Then my mum was making roast chicken last night but the chicken fell off the plate so I’ve got chicken fat everywhere”
Tis the season 😏

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The family settled in the Cotswolds, in an old rectory with dogs, cats “and a gerbil that I set free but that the cat then ate”.
Hence his desire to keep everyone else in a cage of religion & hierarchy of “importance”

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’
