That means a lot coming from you @happytoast.co.uk ♥️

I dare anyone not to cry (as I just did this morning) when Kermit playing Bob Cratchett sits at the dinner table and tries to help his family move on in life without Tiny Tim. Oh my God… here we go again… 😢

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Being in UK, I had no idea who this person even was - now I do. I’m so sorry you were betrayed by someone you’d worked so hard to support. I can’t help but think she’s invoking some “mean girl” energy in both dress and demeanour. Genuine question: Who was she setting out to impress with this action?

If this is real, put a pipe in it and just be glad they’re doing it. My child’s school (in a very well heeled area of Newcastle) was going to disband the PTA/Governors as no one was prepared to show up or put up, until some already overstreteched mums stepped up.

Yes and he did a fascinating talk through the BBC News theme on it’s 25th? 30th? anniversary. Clearly as dumbfounded as we all are of how it’s got “banger” status, although no doubt in part due to Bill Bailey. Which reminds me… must watch that clip again…

Just read this and. Wow.

Haha - they’re gonna lose their shit when they learn about the pensions…

It’s the kidnappers who should be scared. Sophia’s from Sicily after all…

I wish there was a laughter button 😂

It’s pronounced “Bouquet”.
