Jeremy Allen @jeres.bsky.social · 30mI don't think I've ever in my life had an email from a PR before saying: "I would like to encourage you NOT to feature/review/air/mention this release". Mad! Which means I'm not going to mention it. Probably. 120
Jeremy Allen @jeres.bsky.social · 59mIt's 29 years today since I climbed aboard a train from Penzance to London with the aim of starting a new life.
