@ATDazzles All for it. Seen so much at the cinema over the years, including shows I took a chance on, that I would never have been able to see in person. So frustrating when shows are constantly London-only. Just not viable for so many of us. Cinema viewings are always packed too!

Keen to know people's thoughts for something I'm working on (to be revealed soon) What are your thoughts on theatre breaking out of its box and having more theatre related shows on TV & in cinemas Should there be more of it? When does it work well and does it ever lose the magic?

I don't know where this recent trend for calling them "orange cats" came from, but please cease immediately and go back to calling them ginger cats.

I'm so serious, if you stop using your creativity, imagination and thinking abilities you will LOSE them. Millions of people willingly giving up their intellects, the very thing that makes them human, is a nightmare straight out of our darkest science-fictions.

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

@anon_opin Totally disagree. Improv done well, and there is so much out there of such an incredibly high standard, is the most impressive of the performing arts.

The second worst form of performing arts is improv. Beaten only by musical improv. Even Am Dram is more watchable

@melhappens Annoying, and expensive if there's just one of you, I sometimes have to book two seats because there's only one of me and the system won't let me book just for one.

Claire and I had to sit separate once because we couldn’t book two seats in a row of three, as it left a single seat. Phoned the Box Office and the chap just giggled down the phone. So, we booked two single seats.

Wyndhams Theatre the latest to block me from booking single ticket online; I had to waste time ringing them. Claim is that ‘this leaves a single seat difficult to sell’ but there are loads of people who want to go alone to performances. I think it’s discriminatory. cc @SOLTnews

The woman who admitted she hadn’t bought the item from our shop, but demanded we refund her because we also stocked them. She then asked for petrol money as claimed it wasn’t her fault she had to travel to refund it, and stormed out when refused both.

If you’ve worked in retail, pls could you share some ‘worst customer’ stories? A woman shouted repeatedly at my 17yo today on her second day working at M&S for rolling rather than folding a jumper and made her cry. Exercises in resilience. Humour has (almost) saved the day.

Answered the shop phone and customer didn’t like my answer to his query. He literally asked to speak to the organ grinder, not the monkey. Manager told him the same as I did, also pointed out I’d also worked there longer than him and so knew what I was talking about.

@DHLGlobal Even though I’ve sent an email, phoned and sent two messages through the app? I still haven’t received my parcel, but hey, I’ll give it a whirl.

@DHLGlobal I paid for next day delivery last Monday - my parcel still hasn’t arrived. Please can someone get back to my messages and emails because it was urgent to start with, so incredibly urgent now. This is abominable service.
