Anyone have any recommendations for good audiobooks or podcasts? I paint quite a lot and would like to double down on cultural enrichment by piping some high quality stuff into my brain at the same time. I'm trying to steer myself away from my tendency to indulge in easy to read popular fiction, but I'm such an…

Just combat it with reverse snobbery, like I do. Whenever they mention private schools or housekeepers or gold toilets or whatever rich people talk about just let an expression of disgust flicker across your face. It makes you feel like a punk rock socialist badass without having to commit to an actual confrontation.

I've gotten drunk and gone on similar cynical tirades about land men. The bastards.

Disney villain songs are just the best. Poor Unfortunate Souls is maybe my favourite, but Hellfire, Be Prepared and Friends on the Other Side are amazing as well.

Can't... look... away.

The Hellfire sequence was just perfection. That film could have been a masterpiece if it had the guts to take itself that seriously throughout.

I didn't know until now. Consider my genitals thoroughly educated.

I try to channel Ursula in my day to day life

:O those lucky bastards. Best we ever got is when one of the twats from geordie shore would turn up.

The traditional tartan blanket? I get the clan colours thing, we all like to indulge in that even though we know it started in the 19th century, but I have never ever heard of the traditional wedding blanket. The only tartan blankets you tend to see are draped over the laps of papery old ladies.

How in god's name do you go about designing a dress that makes Katy Perry look dumpy?

As long as it's not Roxxy. She's the best looking queen but she's soooo tedious. Being a jerk and saying "gurl" at the start of sentences is not a substitute for actual wit.

Red headed boys and men particularly are scorned. I don't know why. We were always aware that ginger = valid reason for mockery at school but it never really translated to actual bullying and all the gingers in our year were popular and respected, and any teasing had affection and familiarity behind it. We were in the…

Close second.

Julian, I have remained loyal and pure* for you all these years my love.

I believe the technical term is "working it"

Counterpoint:

Oh my god, she is literally Lois Lane.

Pretending to brood out of windows is a good tactic, you look really deep and troubled but usually you're thinking something like "What is my favourite colour of dog? Brown. It is probably brown dogs."

So, this evening I found myself in full makeup drinking a gin and tonic in an armchair with the lights dimmed while in the background was playing some loud and dramatic classical music. Ever find yourself in the middle of a movie cliche? Doesn't it make you feel cool as balls?
