Daughter came home with this book on Cristiano Ronaldo in her book bag today. Now, I know nothing about football, so I’ll have to assume that he only plays with *checks very factual book for details* his numerous identical brothers…

Hi - any of you writing, Journo pals out there know of someone in the press who’d be interested in me writing a piece about my PIP nightmares? I will supply some gags as well. Can people please repost this please.

I don’t check out casting calls like I used to, but came across this in my archive today. The last two lines never fail to absolutely floor me…
Casting call: Dental Nurse. The dental nurse is a crucial role to the film. It involves sitting on a stool next to the dentist while he kills his patients. The dental nurse will smile and look pretty, maybe laugh a bit as he drills his way through the patients using a diamond tipped drill. The actress much be good at the following skills: 1. Sitting on a stool. 2. Smiling. 3. Laughing/looking pretty. No old women please.

The best thing about being self employed is seeing everyone post how they’re back to work today, while I’m still comfortably in my PJs quietly terrified that I’ll never have work ever again.

Bought this Clarice Tudor print today from @goshcomics.bsky.social. We haven’t even put it up yet but just looking at it makes me grin so much.
Comic panel 1: Two bunnies (?) sitting in chairs opposite each other across a table . One has arms folded and a grumpy face and is facing us. The other has their back to audience. The one we can see says ‘DON’T makes this into a comic!’ The one we can’t says ‘I would never!’ 
Comic panel 2: The one with their back to us turns to face us/camera/audience with the dirtiest knowing grin.

Love to get a school text casually informing parents of a gingerbread competition with just 2 hours’ notice…
Text from school asking that states: Bring your gingerbread creations after 2pm to the lunch hall to have them ready for voting when the children arrive!
