@nickgibson I mean, I would *totally* commission both films just in order to hit that sweet, sweet pun-spot.

[Dan Gilbert @Dan_Gilb]

If Mr Tate and Mr Lyle had ever been knighted, do you think they'd have eschewed the usual medal and insisted upon receiving a set of golden stirrups?

It's well known that Hell has the best tunes. But their orchestra is a bit short on instruments. So they're running a crowdfunded time get some timpani for the devil. #BadJokeFriday

@loucorben Or how in EastEnders everyone is a good little go-getting, business owning (or half-business owning) entrepreneur.

[Dan Gilbert @Dan_Gilb]

I've often thought this about 80s Alternative Comedians. Stewart Lee has a whole bit about how pre alt-comedy gags were shared amongst acts and none wrote/owned their own material. So while alt-coms content was v left, their ideas about IP rights/ownership maybe not so...

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

Comedians are the most right wing people anyway. They're all self-starting Thatcherite entrepreneurs hustling for work in a free market. And I've never seen a left-wing headliner demanding that their much higher pay is distributed equally amongst the middle spots.

[Dan Gilbert @Dan_Gilb]

@loucorben Oh of course not. Wasn't really meant as a dig. Just a conflict/inage that's always interested me, especially coming out of the Thatcher era. Same with all those punk-related entrepreneurs (Malcolm McLaren, Tony Wilson etc).

I work in Manchester. My office job pays me £22,000 a year and can be done from home. The government want me to now spend £250 a month on trains and give up 40 hours a month in travel to buy a £6 sandwich from Pret everyday with whatever’s left of my disposal income. Hmm.

[Dan Gilbert @Dan_Gilb]

@loucorben Ah but to what tune?

[Dan Gilbert @Dan_Gilb]

@WatsonandMalone I will *always* defend Jimmy Nail and also direct people to the WHOLE of Crocodile Shoes.

Idea: a range of scented candles that smell like herbs.

Apparently Pixar are working on a series of films based on Greek myths but mixing them up with well known characters. First up: Troy Story #BadJokeFriday
