I fawt’te meself one day I’ll have diamonds like that. But I didn’t want to have to be as unpleasant as she was to get them. A jewellery shop in Piccadilly Circus sold men’s versions. But back then it was unwise for a twink to be hanging around there of an evening gawping at them 🫣

Just before starting my theatre training I was an international telephonist @ the Faraday Exchange opposite St Paul’s. There was a supervisor there called Mrs Vincenti. A terrifying little woman with spidery hands. She wore a ring with 4 diamonds so huge she walked lopsided. It mesmerised me🫣

I saw a lovely sparkly butch diamond ring in Brighton. I was lured in & the man tried his hardest to get me to buy it. It started at 8000 & ended at 3500, with a free eyeglass & valuation of my family signet ring (not for sale!). I politely declined. But it was fun I enjoyed that. 💅🏼

Off to Brighton On Sea the day - by train from Hastings. Waiting patiently on the platform area. What the hell in carnation is this? Eh? 🤔

I’ve said my bit so I’ll STFU now. Good evening & kind regards.

‘Teacher’ had us in hysterics back then, & I have fond memories of my mum crying with laughter at Charles Hawtrey in the school play sequence. It still makes me laugh now. Like ‘The Happiest Days Of Your Life’ it wasn’t made for the sensitivities of critics 70 yrs in the future 🤔

To clarify; schools were exactly like this back in the 50s/60s. Maudlin St. could’ve been any of my schools from ‘63 to ‘74 it was so similar. These films are snapshots of earlier times, with contemporary humour. Corporal punishment wasn’t popular then either - that IS the whole point. 🙄

Sorry but I just can’t listen any more Carry On podcasts by Ms. Calman & Mr. Muncer. It’s a great idea, but they infuriate me judging everything with today glasses on. And they’re SO wrong about so much it has me screaming. Their complete misunderstanding about ‘Teacher’ finished it for me 😡

Matt has lost most of his work to AI. If you want a great speech written by a human (not generic AI slop) have a look at his website www.mathew-owen.co.uk Please repost far and wide.

Dear @serailway.bsky.social Will you please tell the driver of 1H66 currently stuck at Tonbridge that we can’t hear his announcements He’s mumbling and the train is very noisy. Thank you!!

Always be prepared for what the camera might see at the top of the stairs in the dark. Tonight it was just stars. But . . .

Happy Birthday #harveythecat We love you more than you can ever know 😻🫶🏼😻 #gingercats #bluebellridge #rescuecats

No idea if it’s true but it seems extremely likely.

There are (almost) no words to express how excited I am about this . . . That’s all. youtu.be/e9HXmMnUEdE?...

I see this new rubbish national lottery operator’s app is down yet again. They’ve totally ruined the app, which is now a mess. Still, it’s saving me money by not doing it. So every cloud etc etc. 💅🏽

Bob Dylan trying to find his way back from some Wetherspoons toilets…

I had lunch today at St Pancras with my friend Richard. But just look at this extraordinary historical photo showing just how much railway land’s been lost to development. To get your bearings you can see King’s Cross & St Pancras station buildings in the top left corner. #railwayhistory #london

Great fun performing ‘My Heart Beats’ by Maurice Thorogood @actorsandwriters.bsky.social last night with Verity Lester, David Vickery & Amanda Holt. Actors playing actors is always a hoot. And thank you to Paddy Gormley for the pics 🤣

Now playing one of my most Prized & favourite 70’s Disco albums by La Bionda - with 2 banging classics ‘One For You, One For Me’ & ‘Sandstorm’ Whoooo Gurl, this house is groovin’ 🕺🏼💃🏼🕺🏼💃🏼

Happy Birthday to a legendary LP - #jonnytrunk sums it all up perfectly. My original copy was part of #peterwyngarde ‘s record collection which I bought at the auction of his personal effects a few years ago. Glorious!! 🍾 www.instagram.com/reel/DWQlqlk...

THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION TO THIS ‘MATA

Hammersmith Portal

Right here right now - spot the Harvey!! 😼

Yes! In pre-internet days Air Miles used to be printed vouchers!! I wonder if these are still valid? 😎

Whilst clearing out some old diary books today I found this from the late 1980s. Back in the day these info cards were routinely handed out in gay pubs, bars, clubs & discos in case they were raided by the police (which they frequently were). It’s an oddly sobering piece of history 🤔

Is something up with Bluesky at the moment? When you go to post it gets locked in a ‘processing’ loop and then when you cancel it you find it did get posted. I’m seeing posts twice as people upload again. 🫤 @support.bsky.team

I blow hot and cold with #pinkfloyd - haven’t played this LP in ages. But bought a rare Irish pressing today from those wonderful folk @wowandflutter.bsky.social this morning. I’m a sucker for unusual record labels - and this pressing on the green Harvest label is glorious 🍀🍀🇮🇪

On the big train home and woman next to me is stuffing her face with the smelliest curry this side of Mars. On a packed train. It smells of dog’s mess and looks about as appetising. Revolting. 🤮 Good evening and kind regards

I’m in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant- not of my choosing I can tell you. As a result I am wearing my best most appropriate look for the occasion:

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This x 1000 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Bonjour la classe 🥱

Europeans when asked to unblock the Strait of Hormuz

Two words: Mouse Murder 😼

The sky outside has gone purple What does that mean? Should I close all the windows, get the cat in and cancel Bridge?

How much I care about the bloody #Oscars in a nutshell . . . You’re welcome 💅🏼

Can I start off Sunday with an observation? Sky’s #SNLUK will be a flop. You can’t make humour like we used to today as everything has to be sanitised to avoid offending anyone. Satire cannot exist in that atmosphere. Though please bear in mind that I still laugh at things like this

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment. Take a look at my wares and please repost. gailmyerscough.co.uk Thanks!

Awww look - there’s my lovely mate Steve and the girls at No.1 - we were all singing along here 🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #totp #1982

Another criminal phisher on the loose. Make sure you block this number!!! Reported from my end 😡

Lazy music journalism - #mungojerry was NOT a ‘one hit wonder’ band They had 9 Top 75 hits, 4 Top 10 and 2 UK No.1s One hit wonders my arse 😡

Yes, Yes, Yes, but what platform does it go from??? 🤔

It is both fascinating & ironic that so much of this enormous Christian building is constructed with Purbeck Marble containing the prehistoric fossilised remains of animals that obviously predate the scriptures. And they’ve been there for almost a thousand years 😳 #canterburycathedral

I’m hearing some appalling stories from friends who have been in transit through the US & being forced to hand over all their social media & email details for an ESTA despite not being ‘landed’ & just changing planes from one airport gate to another. I didn’t think that was legal?!? Is it?

You know ballet right?? Well I can’t watch it because when those ladies go up en pointe it makes my teeth go on edge. 🫣 Some of the music is quite nice, so I’d hum along with that, but twirling around on your toenails makes me wince. Most people only go to gawp at the bulges anyway. Kind regards
