Well, it’s been a long time, but I am back in the studio exercising! Thanks to @vertical_flex for getting me moving xx PS today is 10 years since I seduced the hottie who took this pic. https://t.co/pezSU9DnBr
Neglected my Twitter account & someone’s got into it & unfollowed Everyone.
Could this have been Donald?
Anyone notice anything suspicious? Covefefe?
Thanks to @jazzrozz for letting me know the account had been locked.
@gingerest @ElemPeng @bellebelle @coriolisdave @gomichild @JaneNeedhamSC @isabelle_trolio I think I first heard this in the mid 70’s on an episode of The Sullivans, which was set during WWII, so to me it’s an “old diggers in the Pub” ditty. We do (did?) love our “deprecating”humor. I think the Brits call it “banter” these days.
Gotta cut down those Tall Poppies.
@gomichild@gingerest @ElemPeng @bellebelle @coriolisdave @JaneNeedhamSC @isabelle_trolio I moved to London in 1991 and unfortunately met a crowd of young locals who introduced to me Rodney Rude’s entire back catalogue.
@doordash driver exemplifies company name, dashing around like a total dickhead. Delivered us wrong order, screwing up night for-
1 us
2 ppl who's food he stole
3 UberEats driver for #2
4 staff at Nandos left to deal with angry UberEats driver & 2 sets of hungry customers
.@serenawilliams may not say she’s disabled this is still a disability issue.
Blood clots nearly killed her & her tennis outfits help w/ circulation. Its an accommodation.
Officials say it disrespects the game. Disabled blk women kno what its like 2 be denied an accommodation.
@vaspider @JaninaArsenjeva @carlyfindlay Oooph, it might well have been. In which case, I sincerely apologise. How ironic though, that the conversation went from the disabled discussing being unjustly accused of abusing parking spaces, to being asked to try to understand how tough life is for mothers.
@JaninaArsenjeva @vaspider@carlyfindlay I’m also creeped out by phrases starting with “As a <whatever>”. Why do we have to state our “credentials” to offer an opinion?
See also: “Some of my best friends are <whatever>” & crappy advertising campaigns: As a mother, I want the best for my family, so I buy <whatever>.
🤮
@JaninaArsenjeva @vaspider@carlyfindlay As a parent, I’m aware of that, and I’m not literally shoving anything up anyone’s nose. However, having an invisible disability, I’m wary enough of ppl accusing me of abusing disabled spaces, so was bracing for abuse for using a Prams spot. Any attitude I have is self defence.
@susiepkmelb @mayflowersinoct @carlyfindlay@vaspider I’ve been a parent for 25 years & have been diagnosed with MS for >18 years. Both have their challenges, but one has more demands & challenges than the other.
@susiepkmelb @mayflowersinoct @carlyfindlay@vaspider Shopping centres providing courtesy parking is nice of them, they want to improve accessibility for all of their customers. Great.
I understand child wrangling, especially with shopping, can be hard.I usually see lots of Prams spots free when all the Disabled spots are taken.

The BlackSys thing looks worth looking into. Like insurance & backups, I’m sure a dash cam is something one day I’ll be grateful for.
And I’d love to get footage of shitty note leavers.
