#NewEpisode! Time to mount our horses, climb into the jump-jet, and watch Chris & Rob dance provocatively around the garage, eagerly joined by our special guest, John Donachie.  It’s James Cameron + Arnie, it must still be good … right?? #TrueLies buzzsprout.com/113660/episode…

It's that time of the year again when people go to the #Oscars dressed as books. *Some of these were done very, very, very early this morning, so aren't the best * A thread 🧵

HELP US DECIDE ON OUR NEXT PODCAST EPISODE An upcoming episode of our show will be the usual ATRM deep dive into one of the classics below. Which is your favourite? If you could share this post, that would be great 😀

@onthechimney2 I am also rather fond of 'dang it' and 'dang nabbit'!

@cherryaimless Dangit, American English shone through again, of course it should be "simmeliSing" 😉 And yes, by all means, do! 🙂🍷

I need a fag and a drink and a ponder!

@onthechimney2 I think the only American English I use is 'granddad' as it makes more sense in my brain than 'grandad'. Even then, I don't really use it as I don't have a live one any more.

@cherryaimless I actually learned BE at school, then AE took over (Internet, a year abroad at U.S. uni, and whatnot), now I'm slowly converting to BE again. Beatles 🤷‍♀️♡ Mostly smooth sailing in writing, a mess when speaking 😄🙈

@onthechimney2 I'm going to assimilate 'simmelising' into my life!

@cherryaimless Have a good pondering 🍷 Where I live (very broadly the Cologne area), we have a special word for thinking very long and deep and profoundly. It translates to "simmelize" ;-) People have been known to simmelize for days and, ultimately, emerge enlightened 😄

@onthechimney2 Perfect!

Going to be carnage in town tonight… #WalIta

When Blackadder discovers Baldrick has burnt the only copy of Dr Johnson's dictionary, Blackadder must rewrite the dictionary. This results in the finished manuscript being used only to look up rude words, as all subsequent dictionaries will be used, according to Mr Blackadder.

I appear to be up Big London.

@swanseastones Oh Crikey!

No, YOU bent down to pick up a book in front of a customer and, as if living in a 1970s sitcom, ripped the seat of your trousers straight down the middle.

Excellent to see The Moody Cow on the #potterythrowdown #MoodyCow And well done to the finalists, obviously...

@SarahMillican75 I listened to one of the first episodes, and somehow, the habit of listening to stuff got away from me... work, moving house. The usual suspects. I promise, here and now, that I will reclaim that habit, and the time too!

In 2014, I was annoyed standing in front of magazine racks at train stations that there was nothing that appealed to me. The usual ‘women’s magazines’ didn’t speak to me and were too centred on beach bodies, white trousers and which fruit my body resembled. Add to this that I love women. Ever since I worked for WHSmith and then the Jobcentre, I’ve been surrounded with women at work. When I got into comedy, those numbers dropped dramatically (they’re better now hoo-fucking-ray). So I started setting up small work places full of women. My TV series, my new material gig, writers’ rooms, my radio shows. Women, women, women. I decided to do something about the lack of magazines for women like me (whatever that means) and thus create another all-women work space, a healthy, more interesting and feminist alternative to the magazines that were out there. And thus began Standard Issue Magazine, edited by the fantastic Mickey Noonan. We were lucky enough to have some incredible women write wonderful articles for us. And the whole thing was run by 12 awesome women. In 2017, I decided it was time to move with the times and we became a podcast @StandardIssueUK. The team: Mickey Noonan, Hannah Dunleavy and Jen Offord have since created over a thousand brilliant episodes of a podcast that treats women like they have brains, because we do, and are interested in the world. We are for women, by women, about everything. And we shine a light on some incredible sports women, journalists, playwrights, entrepreneurs, heck, all sorts of women from all walks of life who have something to say. Standard Issue is a podcast championing women's voices, and packed with interviews, news, film, opinion and humour. And on this International Women’s Day, I’d love you to give it a listen. Or comment on this post if you have listened. Or share it with your followers. It all helps. We hope you enjoy it. We’re super proud of it. I feel this way about this project every day but today feels like a good day to shout about excellent women and their work.

@ADixonMusic I haven't been the same since Let 'Em In on the People's Postcoee Lottery!

Golden Slumbers being used in an Airbnb advert, is this a recent development? Can't deny it sounded great, but it tries to cheapens it doesn't it?
