At a pub quiz in Glasgow, the final question to win £1000 pounds is, "Take That's first Album had a four word title. The first two words were, 'Take That', what were the second two?" After a lengthy silence a wee Glesga man stands up & says, "Was it, ya bastard?"

After no-fault divorce became law, suicide rates for women dropped 20%. Domestic violence deaths dropped 10%.. Overall domestic violence against women dropped 30%. That’s not nostalgia. That’s evidence. No-fault divorce didn’t “destroy families.” It saved women’s lives.

ICYMI, Dominic Maxwell in The Times, talking about ‘the art that made critics cry’ 😢 : “ … nothing can match the fist-biting I had to do to avoid causing a scene at the Nottingham premiere of James Graham’s play Punch … I’ve never sensed more stifled sobs in one room than the scene when Dunne meets his victim’s parents as part of the restorative justice programme … "What a study of how we can damage each other, though. What a study of the power of change and forgiveness.” Punch returns to Nottingham Playhouse in March, and then transfers to @LeedsPlayhouse and @TRPlymouth. bit.ly/NPPunch 📷 Marc Brenner

Announcing the exciting cast for Matthew Xia’s powerful new production of Small Island, a co-production with Leeds Playhouse and BirminghamRep and in association with Actors Touring Company. Small Island takes you on an unforgettable journey, from the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica to the cold, grey streets of 1940s London, in this powerful new portrayal of Andrea Levy’s multi-award-winning novel. bit.ly/SmallIslandNP

I'm walking 56 miles in pouring rain with an increasingly soggy and dejected labradoodle in aid of the exceptional @RefugeCharity - 50% of target reached. If you have a few pennies down the back of the sofa - do send them my way :-) justgiving.com/fundraising/S…
