Waited over 5 hours in a virtual queue to get tickets for the V&A David Bowie Centre today. Bowie probably wrote entire albums in less time but hey, got tickets and I’m VERY excited.

“We don’t like what he said but we’ll happily continue to watch from the sidelines”. What a waste of words, I’d be embarrassed to be a Fellow right now.
