Quite apart from being nonsense this is just such a boring stance to take. It’s just filling dead air.

Sure, the CEO kinda sucks. I have terrible news about all CEOs/most people given a modicum of power.

Oh wow. A shot of vinegar actually sorted that. I had always assumed the old wives' tales were just bunk but I'm an evangelist now.

I have hiccups. As you can no doubt imagine I am dealing with this minor inconvenience like an adult and definitely not googling “is it safe to cut out your larynx?”

Oh yeah, flyers and business cards and all that bullshit… There isn’t a deadline for those because my life is too short for that market. You know where the stupidly cheap options that rely on volume and skirting labour protections are.

Weird. Heat is over 30 years old so you’d assume DiCaprio wouldn’t have any interest in it.

I have an important and unmoveable appointment in That London on the 5th. I also have October half term to deal with. My point is that this is going to be the type of stress that if I survive it makes me god.

People often ask me when the deadline for Thought Bubble is. And I tell them *aggressive hissing*. But if you would actually like to know it is 11am on November 6th for anything perfect bound (with a spine) and 11am on November 7th for anything stapled.

Yes, lads. The country voted in a fit of pique to do irreparable harm to itself. Everything that has followed was predicted. You were, if I recall correctly, quite encouraging of the whole “vote in a fit of pique to do irreparable harm to the country, it’ll be lolz” thing.

I can’t believe it’s been ten years and they’re still getting away with this shit.
