They say chivalry is dead but a man on the bus earlier saw that I was worried by a wasp, so he slammed it against the window with his bare hand.

Turned on The 1975 at Glastonbury and thought the cameramen standing on the stage in front of the band were some sort of ‘bit’… but no, I think they’re just making sure they get their angles.

I just tried to scroll/swipe up on a piece of paper.

I bet when Robbie decided to be a chimp in his biopic, he didn’t realise the trailer would play between the one for Mufasa (full of talking animals) and Wicked (full of talking animals). There really couldn’t be a more boring time to be a talking animal.

Just wanna read a lengthy think piece comparing the execution of the “sexy baby” trope in Hot Frosty and Poor Things.

@CraigMcPheat If if makes you feel better, I’m on 75 from Topolabamba…

This kind of shaming is just rude!

Before 9am, every coach should be the quiet coach.

@michaelmphysics Actually, I’ve got it. Print a sticker sheet a la mags from the 90s, and include some mostly blank pages with boxes where the photos are supposed to stick in. Makes the whole thing interactive and fun.

@michaelmphysics You could print the photos on a poster that folds up and people could keep it tucked inside? Or link to a PDF of what the photo pages would’ve been? Or include a key photo or photos in a collage on the back cover?

Book question... I'm releasing my memoir but finding it tough to get printed with photos AND still feel like a novel. What's more important to you, as a reader, that it feels like a book rather than a magazine, or that it has a middle section with photos in it?

@alicejebs Congrats! Hope you had a great day!

Yo I’m getting married in the mornin ain’t that crazy

I hope they play Love Story.

Any journo/arts folk got any suggestions of who I could throw a review at if I had the burning urge to write about a comedy show at the Fringe that I enjoyed? I'm sure there must be some editor out there looking to fill (web) pages...

Just reflecting on the fact that I bought a small baguette last night so that I could have half with soup for dinner and the other half for lunch today… but instead I ate half of the baguette before I got home. Like an animal. So it’ll be sad freezer bread for lunch… 🎻

@MartinDewar Sorry to hear! Imagine if everyone just let people like what they like, eh?

Imagine if people who don’t care for football spoke like people who don’t care for Taylor Swift. ‘Enjoy your cult, lads!’. ‘I couldn’t even name one player’. ‘Flying to the game?! Carbon emissions!’. ‘Watch more than one game? Why?!’. ‘You should watch real sport like tennis’. 😏

@timeistheenemy Ting Thai Caravan’s Massaman chicken curry and Crunchie Rocks.

What’s everyone’s current food hyperfixations?? Mine are fish fingers and anything with hazelnut in it .

Do we think they meant the rule for ‘35mm’ sensor size, ie full-frame? Can we assume the rule was made by someone who doesn’t understand cameras?

So apparently O2 venues now consider any camera with a focal length greater than 35mm to be ‘professional’. Here are some of the phones they are therefore in denial about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l…

@scottaawilson Saying all that, I actually think I’m a TTPD girlie and she played almost everything I wanted from it. So I can’t complain too much.

@scottaawilson Imagine you’re not that fussed on Folklore and Evermore, but your favourite songs are ‘Mirrorball’ and ‘Long Story Short’. You come to terms with them not being in Eras, and choose second favourites - ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ and ‘Tolerate It’ 🤦‍♀️

Having Speak Now as your number 1 is the hardest thing in the world #ParisTStheErasTour

@CaitOfGrace Well, you weren’t miles off!! That TTPD set is pretty perfect… I wanted SHS and Smallest Man but didn’t really think I’d get them. Still think she should’ve ended the era with The Manuscript, but can keep my fingers crossed for it as a surprise song.

my theory for possible TTPD era: - will be at the end of the show following karma - will start with new videos on screen similar to the mv and an extended fortnight intro - fortnight - but daddy I love him - who’s afraid? - down bad - I can do it w/ broken heart as closer
