NEW POST

This is pretty niche but I enjoyed writing it :) It’s on three things I’m really interested in:

1. Attention
2. Pre-Reformation graffiti
3. How the annoying it is that the working class continue to be patronised

But I also get quite piissy when the umpire indulges his time-wasting, which is considered and deliberate.

We've all had a good chuckle at the Young Conservatives at the Tory Conference, but please take a moment to think about their values and aspirations and then mock them a bit more.

I went to a similar Hockney installation in Manchester. Children were dancing and racing about, and I found it faintly annoying, but that was because of me, not them. So I got over myself and shut my big round face and enjoyed the art. I can imagine younger me being po faced about it, though.
