What's the training course for?

How to be a manager. I’ve just got on the train from Reading from a course that was supposed to finish at 5pm.

Honestly, how I didn’t punch the twat, I don’t know. Stabbed him to death a million times with my biro in my head. I better not ever see him again I swear to god.

My partner has started to ease back into art again after leaving it a while to concentrate on college and uni so, as a warm-up, I commissioned her to paint Sweep's family from everyone's favorite Sooty episode;

She said it isn't finished yet but I love it already.

Christ, if only. We're getting married at a non-religious venue and the amount of rules we have to follow about not mentioning God or anything even remotely religious in the speeches, readings and songs is really tedious. I almost had a Sigur Ros song rejected because some of the made-up words sound like religious terms.

Are you marrying Ricky Gervais? 

I think we're getting married BY Ricky Gervais by the sounds of it. We weren't too keen on a church wedding but we would've bit the bullet (and saved a bit of cash) if we knew what all the legalities about religious language were.

I had to slip Corinthians 13:13 ("the greatest is love) into my reception routine (this was due to the aforementioned rules, not as a way to Jesus up my mate's wedding without his blessing).

You should have claimed you were quoting Alan Jackson's Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning? instead.

Newcastle independent cinema know their audience.

In fairness, Toy Story 4 would probably go over the heads of babies & toddlers.

I know quite a few places that do this - it's not as weird as it might seem. It's not aimed for kids, but specifically at parents with babies. It's so they can sleep/feed/etc while the parents watch the film, but it's not disturbing anyone who'd want to be there and get annoyed by babies crying.

More importantly, It: Chapter 2 is actually a 15, so they're shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing in under-18 parents, which I'd imagine in Tyneside is (insert rest of joke here).

Oh I completely understand the idea of taking your nipper to special showings, for the reasons you’ve mentioned, I’ve done it. 

However, taking your toddler/baby to see a pre-lunch showing of IT: 2 is weird as fuck. But yeah Tyneside.
