Zelenskyy has really raised the credibility of comedians, but also given the world a wildly misleading bar for what most of us are capable of.

Finally got round to watching the Rock's promo on Smackdown...

Venues not having cloakrooms should be punished with fines. It's winter in Scotland and you expect me to be in the pit wearing 5 layers?

Scotrail day returns to Glasgow being £20 with a railcard because they brought back peak fares makes me sad in a way I don't know how to express.

Despite forty years of hacks saying “of course , nowadays you have to be a one legged black lesbian …” the number of black or lesbian or one legged people controlling your lives is still a homeopathic quantity compared to white blokes
