A hedgehog came & self-annointed himself with @mister_goldfish's hair cuttings. This is when a hedgehog finds a smell he likes, licks the smelly thing then licks himself all over to make himself smell of it (in this case, it's probably @TheBodyShopUK Ginger Shampoo).

Wife has been at MCM Comic Con for the last three days. Her final day of cosplay was as Guillermo from What We Do In The Shadows. She came down to breakfast at the hotel and there were Harvey Guillén and Kayvan Novak - Guillermo and Nandor - having theirs. [1/2]

@atpyrgusmalvae @activevirtues I'm really sorry that all this happened to you.

35 years ago at the height of the AIDS crisis, 35 policemen raided The RVT wearing rubber gloves.

Lily Savage was on stage at the time, and she said: ‘Well well, it looks like we’ve got help with the washing up.’

@obscureglory @DocPhoenix Same. I thought, they were upset about "Gingerbread People" but now all the Gingerbread genders are unacceptable! Presumably Genderbread is the even spicier verison?

🧵 Today we publish a report showing that the majority of those men, women and children who cross the Channel on small boats would be granted asylum in the UK because they are fleeing war and persecution. Here’s how the Home Office tried to rubbish our report last night….
