What makes Blackstar such a perfect send off to David Bowie’s life and career is how it was a return to form to the classics that made him iconic in the first place. The themes of life and death within his songs are not only truly poetic, but the lyrics he wrote himself is incredibly personal.

Being correct and being petty make such a great combo in moments like this.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

For the 5 minutes I was involved in the theatre world I heard nothing but praise for him. An actor's actor.

Every time a face is reconstructed from an ancient skull the person looks so familiar. I swear she works in Lancaster Greggs.

"For a century, the BBC has been our classroom, our concert hall, our stage, our storyteller and our window on the world. Politicians need reminding: its much more than a news channel."

Politicians see the BBC through the lens of TV news, but those who want to undermine it threaten a central plank of our national culture

This flu is just horrible, my lungs have taken a right battering, even though I have more pillows than the elephant man, still coughing like I'm on a thousand fags a day, the sleep deprivation is just the worst, awful!

Wrangle some screams from the dawn
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?
Like a portrait in flesh, trails on a leash
Will you seeeeeeeeeeeeee..." 🎶

What I ADORE about The Smiths singles/LP artwork is that it's a mix of filtered stills of cult actors, political imagery or British pop culture icons.

Which means (without the need for AI), it's easy and fun to make your own.

As usual, panic-reading the last Private Eye before the next one arrives. I am 100% using the phrase “creative choice” the next time I fuck up with anything.

I remember my Dad and I pausing on this image and laughing out arses off for a good five minutes every time as my bemused Mum looked on. It's the little things you miss.

Let me warn Rachel Reeves in no uncertain terms: if the Budget measures include any that directly affect me in any way at all I shall leave the front room and relocate to the kitchen.

No Laurel & Hardy or William Powell on the list, I noticed, which is a travesty. At least this very funny lady was on there...
