AUDREY HEPBURN met Pippin shooting the 1959 movie “Green Mansions”.
The animal trainer on set suggested Hepburn take the deer home as a pet so they could bond.
And bond, they did.
Ip - as she was called for short - was adopted by Hepburn and they were inseparable thereafter.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

My full page comic for the @prospectmagazine.co.uk Christmas issue. With sincere apologies.
![This is a comic pate drawn in the soft pencil style of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs
Basically the story is this:
- Keir Starmer in dressing gown presses face up to window, excited that it is snowing
- He runs outside, builds a snowman
- It comes to life, taps on his window
- He invites it in, gives it clothes (yellow trouser, green jacket, flat cap) and we realise (face close up) it looks like Nigel Farage
- Snowman takes him outside, launches off the ground
- They fly over the landscape, we see a town below
- A man ziptying a St George’s Flag to a lamp post waves at them as they pass
- As in the original, they head for the sea - we see a light by the coast
- Instead of Brighton pier as in the original, it is an Asylum Detention Center
- They land, we see people queuing behind a fence
- Snowman Farage points excitedly at a large bin marked VALUABLES
- Snowman Farage pulls a child's E-scooter out of the bin, he and Starmer look excited
- They take off again and go back to Keir’s home
- Farage resumes his place in the garden, Starmer walks back inside to go back to bed
- The next day Snowman Farage has melted, leaving only his clothes and the scooter - now with a bow and label attached to show it is a Christmas gift.

I don’t understand - When blood came out of his ear, Trump supporters bandaged their ear too, but when he forgot to go to the toilet and poo came out of his bottom, they didn’t all go to conventions with ploppy trousers - they are just not committed enough

Is there a game that can be surreptitiously played at a dinner table by bored kids and childish adults, not like I spy but an actual little game, the sort of thing where the aim is to pass cards around or something. I'm asking if there is a stealth ttrpg for unengaged kids at family functions lol

Family deaths means this year I am facing my first Christmas alone. Assured friends I won't spend it by myself and I've got social plans. But I don't. I'm going to put up a little tree and some tinsel, have a crate of beer and a curry and watch reruns of Blake's 7. Fucking bliss.
