Dear Manager, 1. I drank a whiskey drink. 2. I drank a vodka drink. 3. I drank a lager drink. 4. I drank a cider drink. 5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

I'd be tempted to reply saying I'd avoided any paternity suits, not taken any ketamine and not contributed to the collapse of global security.

Colleague: "lunch break, what's that?" Me: "something I started to prioritize after my third breakdown." Seriously folks: get away from your desk. Your job doesn't care about you, your firm will replace you in a heartbeat when you say you're leaving/are hit by a bus/die of stress.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

I am tired of Keira Bell attempting to fuck up other people's lives. It's unfortunate that she took hormones and then regretted it, but the vast majority of people don't. If I get a knee replacement and regret that, it doesn't mean I get to ban knee replacements for everyone else.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Denis Wick, LSO Principal Emeritus Trombone, at the age of 93. Denis was a cornerstone of our brass section for over 30 years, joining as Principal Trombone in 1957, and his radiant sound shines on iconic recordings, from Star Wars to Superman.

A Happy Birthday to Leontyne Price, who is 98 today, an incomparable, breathtaking singer, who changed my life when, aged thirteen, I heard her recording of the final scene of Salome, and fell in love with opera. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MioU...

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.
