Increasingly irritated since 2016. Current status: past caring. Own boobs and teeth.

I love the sound of Superbikes in the morning

[Kate M @moreelf]

Thought I'd pop on to the old ex-Twittles to see what's going down on Christmas Eve. Criminals, grifters, professional malcontents and earnest idiots appear to be prevalent. As you were.

[Kate M @moreelf]

@MrLukowski Another great cast elevating middling material then... Christmas Day, End, feels like there have been a few recently.

[Kate M @moreelf]

@fayecurran99 @NewStatesman God forbid they have to do a little work to follow it rather than everything being smoothed out and globalised and reduced to spoonfed soundbites...

[Kate M @moreelf]

What's been good this year:
@MotoGP
What's been a bit rubbish:
Pretty much everything else.

[Kate M @moreelf]

@OntrackOffroad *Buys yet another Christmas present for self*

[Kate M @moreelf]

Unless in the last few weeks you have seen Bob Dylan, Nicola Walker, Matthew Rhys and Brendan Gleeson do their thing on stage*, your life has simply not been as ridiculously lucky as mine, I'm afraid.

*Separately. All together might be a bit much.

@MrLukowski Less bonnet, more facelift.

[Kate M @moreelf]

@MrLukowski Plenty of plays by good writers simply don't have much to say any more, I guess. Genuinely not sure how you could zhuz this one sufficiently. I thought the RSC update of A Constant Wife was a good effort. Would be happy never to see another ludicrous, misappropriated Ibsen tho.

“Don’t take people for granted, and that’s what Keir Starmer has done.”

The 2026 Senedd elections are “all to play for now”, says the new Plaid Cymru MS for Caerphilly Lindsay Whittle.

[Kate M @moreelf]

I haven't been happy about anything in politics for a long time. @Plaid_Cymru winning decisively in Caerphilly when Reform arrogantly thought they had it is pure 😁😁😁 though. Classy acceptance speech from Lindsay Whittle too. There's hope for us in Wales today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

“I don’t know if there’s any way back” for Labour, says Lindsay Whittle, Plaid Cymru's new MS for Caerphilly.

Plaid Cymru won an historic by-election victory in Caerphilly, a seat held by Labour for over 100 years.

I rescind that 'boring' after that Moto2 last lap! 😲 Amazing Alonso

[Kate M @moreelf]

Unsafe, boring, ugly, sparsely attended and people still unable to get into the car parks at 10am - what a jewel Balaton is turning out to be 🙄#HungarianGP

[Kate M @moreelf]

Is Balaton Hungarian for dull as ditchwater?

[Kate M @moreelf]

I have always thought that Zarco looks like he's in his sixties. After that Suzuka 8 hours, he's unsurprisingly advanced to his nineties.
(He also reminds me of Leonard Rossiter, but that's properly niche.)

[Kate M @moreelf]

@Theatremonkey1 Haha, yes. Those and the judge robes apron, much more creative options!

[Kate M @moreelf]

@Theatremonkey1 "Iconic feminist quotes" such as this and "Boss Lady". Reductive, pointless, performative, cringe-worthy and way beneath the National Theatre really. Thinking it's edgy because swearing 🙄

@SirGuyGuisborne Literally caught the tail end of her slithering away! You can just see the belly bulge though - she is very sleek and healthy. I like the idea of a garden full of new ones.
