@pollybirkbeck Wild horses wouldn't drag me back there lol

Love winding the child up (was actually offered a Reading ticket for today)

@davidhoare14 @Dorianlynskey This is madness. And making a mockery of the songs that you owe your career to. It doesn't make sense to me. As a long standing music PR I'll never understand this. Play the hits at a festival, it's what the crowd wants and they'll love you for it.

@Dorianlynskey Legends too. Robert Plant refusing to play any Led Zep songs and grudgingly ending with ukulele covers of Whole Lotta Love and Rock and Roll sticks in the memory.

@jamesjammcmahon It's so bloody rude. An artist I'd worked since v early days - and helped with difficult situations -changed PR. It was the new PR who told me. The manager had ignored my emails. I hope he didn't ignore the one I sent after this news where I told him what I thought of him.

@FionaSturges @FT Ooh this sounds right up my street. I love anything that exposes people as being complete idiots

It's Monday so here's my @FT column on the brilliant (and v addictive) Filthy Ritual, which tells of the Hampstead conwoman who persuaded her victims she was a shaman who could ward off evil spirits and cure cancer - for a price. And they fell for it. ft.com/content/58dbd5…

The second letter down illustrates, to devastating effect, why many people don't want to be asked by strangers whether or not they have children theguardian.com/society/2023/a…

@e17RnR_books @MichaelCragg @Popjustice @nineeightbooks Such a fab night

Big, big thanks to @MichaelCragg @Popjustice, Laura Snapes and everyone who wandered up to Walthamstow on a Tuesday for an exceptional evening of chat and pop. Reach For The Stars ✨ 💫 @nineeightbooks

Turned she’s had a tough life. In and out of foster homes, a rotten marriage but her pride and joy were her 3 boys. She listened as I talked about how ill my Mum was. When she got off at Stratford she thanked and hugged me. A tiresome journey turned out to be a very lovely one 🥰

…I asked if she was ok. She’d spent weekend with her BF - something they rarely managed due to cost of travel - and was heading home to her three boys. She didn’t have any cash so I paid her cab fare and bought her a coffee and a Twix….we sat together and started chatting

Inspired by heart warming post by @Emily_Benn Here’s my train story…arrived at Woodbridge station to find train cancelled. Suggested to four other stranded women that we share a cab to Ipswich to catch connection. The younger one who sat next to me was very tearful so….

I’m sick to the back teeth of @greateranglia and their never ending engineering works. 4 hour + journey to visit my dying mother. This has gone on for over 20 years. It’s a fucking joke.

@SELFESTEEM___ I spent £300 on an exercise bike two years ago that now acts as a clothes hanger…..

ok I feel like a real twat but I've got a peloton to try and get the endorphins a bit more consistent as I go into writing season. any one else a boujie cunt? need social terror to keep me motivated. drop your user name below!

Any help with complaints to @Uber pls? They have charged me £32 cancellation fee for a car I didn’t book and are refusing to refund the money. I’m livid

@niall_mdoherty I was horizontal on sofa with frozen bottle of water shoved down cleavage

Respect to any PRs who’ve sent chase-up emails today. I admire your work ethic but I’m afraid I haven’t got it in me to reward it.

@TedKessler1 Oh Ted you’ve disappointed me

Football’s great isn’t it?

@joemuggs I went to Rooty nights in Brixton from the early days - what a time to be alive

Underappreciated fact: the best singles band of the 00s bar none - and at times the best live band too - was Basement Jaxx.

@greateranglia I’m sick and tired of your appalling service. You couldn’t organize a piss up in a brewery. You expect me to travel over 3 hours without access to a toilet. You’re an F-ing joke

New bangers from @freemanpr ... Radio 1 Dance Award winners @wearelowes

Setting pulses raising, @wearelowes for their new single “Late Night Visions” ⚡️ LISTEN: ow.ly/RaHx50HGCSS

@RevRichardColes Loving this! Such gentle viewing and your commentary is perfect

@jamesjamesbrown @pollybirkbeck He was a painter and sculptor but went into films working on sets. He made a lot of dead elephants for Greystoke and made C-3POs hands and knees

@freemanpr @pollybirkbeck What did your dad do Amanda?

“Kill, kill. Kill them all!”
