I feel like I might have told you this before: years ago I pocket-dialled the senior police officer I’d been contacting re: research at work. I was driving home and he got a long voicemail of me singing ‘wind the bobbin up’ to my grizzly toddlers
Was trying to sneakily read this while pretending not to while my kid builds a Barbie diorama and not only did I get caught out SNORTING with laughter at the screenshot, I am now *shaking* with laughter behind her back. Thank you, as ever, dear Sophie
I read this out to my kids when I saw it on insta yesterday and all three of us cried laughing. Usually when I read stuff out to them from insta I just get withering looks.
In another life I was a 2nd AD, working a feature film that had a lot of supporting artists who were not professionals, but from a local community theatre group. We were doing night shoots and once scene was on board a bus, where a principal character was stabbed. One supporting artist was giving the ever treasured ‘line’ - to call 999 and say ‘someone’s been stabbed on the bus’. They got so excited they used their own phone and ACTUALLY dialled 999 and said ‘I’m on a bus and someone just been stabbed’ which brought four police cars and a helicopter to our location, and meant the whole crew had to stand down while the matter was resolved. Still burning with the fear/embarrassment/shame thinking about it.

You are hilarious and Jamie Demetriou should be honoured to have you as an Instagram follower

Oh lord. At least you can direct everyone to your substack now, this is your testimony—the OFFICIAL official story .
Anne, pls find me a solicitor and direct them here if this gets any worse.
