time for coffee and you
realise you’re not in Italy
anymore …

Fry and Laurie dragged up all the time, but that was par the course.
Other men have played it recently who are less experienced with drag (Gyles Brandreth, David Suchet, Brian 'Disney's Robin Hood' Bedford, Alan Stanford did it a ton here, although he cast male actors to play other female roles)

Heavenly Birthday Jane
Jane Birkin, a passé sa vie à relier les mondes, les langues, les arts. Celle qui transformait l’intime en beauté a désormais une passerelle à son nom, rejoignant ainsi le parcours poétique des comédiennes dont les noms s’égrènent le long du canal St Martin.

J. J. Cale #botd shunned the spotlight but gained fame penning such hits as After Midnight. His blues-inflected rock inspired some of the genre’s biggest names. "His influence is immeasurable" suggests Rolling Stone.

Israel is planning to drive out Gaza’s surviving population using the cover of media silence. Meanwhile, despite a supposed ‘ceasefire’, it is burning children alive in tents, killing little kids as they collect firewood, & refusing to let in aid.
