People who crochet in East Bristol: are any of you up for teaching a group of Somali women in my ward how to do it ?

CALLING LONDONERS 📣 My friend has spent FIVE YEARS developing her play—a queer horror story—and she's hardly sold any tickets. She's travelling down from Leeds and I'm devastated 🥺 The Haunting of Verity Evans, The Hope Theatre, 25th–26th August. I hope you'll join me! Please share if you can't!

That @roguestrands.bsky.social has bet me a free KFC that this post won't get 150+ reposts/ lead to any sales of my pamphlet, Collecting the Data (Available via me or Red Squirrel Press). Help me prove him wrong please. A Mat Needs His Nuggs* * Booksales www.redsquirrelpress.com/product-page...
Screen shot of Mat Riches' poem called Riches.

Riches


It looked like the sort of wedge

that would choke a shire horse to death: 

two grand in bundles of fifties,

their waists pinched by red rubber bands.



You asked me to count the lot,

then drove away to meet a man 

who knew a man, and came back late

in a lime-green Ford Cortina.


I thought we were made of money 
when you let me sit in your lap 

and we reverse-parked it, my feet 

pressing on your feet in the dark.

Taken from my pamphlet called Collecting The Data. I'd love you to buy a copy from me or via Red Squirrel Press. If you get it from me it will be signed (if you want it to be).

I refuse to go along with any of this. The category “women” is as diverse and inconvenient as the category “people”. Thank heavens. Because it would be really grim and fucking boring in here if we were all the same.

My pal Paul points out that the penalty shootout earlier between Rochdale and Boreham Wood pitted Oliver Whatmuff against Ted Curd. “It’s as if I’m playing Football Manager on a ZX Spectrum and I’ve renamed the players myself”

OK, so here's the full "bowdie yells at Biggins" story. Many years ago... I reckon 2005 - Mrs bowdie wanted to visit the Newent Birds of Prey center, the other side of Gloucestershire from us. So we jumped in the car and I drove us there. 1/?
