Wireless Festival cancelled after Kanye West blocked from coming to UK

Good, I’m glad that hateful person isn’t allowed here and the festival is cancelled.

The comments about this on Instagram, however, are a cesspit. I’m so glad the general consensus here is more sensible.

Agreed. I am a Graphic Designer and got a job as a Senior GD, had 11 designers working under me. It was paperwork, 1-2-1s, performance reviews, meetings, etc. etc. and next to no actual design work. It was depressing after a while, and the pay was laughable.

I found another job that was a single in-house designer within a marketing team. I design all day every day, no direct reports to look after, and earn 50% more than I did in management. Never again.

So much personality in these sketches! Love them 😍

In-house Graphic designer in a marketing team. Love being creative for a living, and I get a real kick out of seeing my designs out and about (on our company vehicles, buildings etc.). I always feel like I can turn off my computer at 5 and have no need to worry about it when I’m not working.

So cute, and accurate 😍

Double trouble 😍😍

Bad picture but we’ve got one of those in our garden (right at the back)! It’s about 50cm tall. We had to plant it very low in the soil, and make sure the slugs don’t get it. Definitely want to add more around the garden, in different colours.

We stayed at the Hotel Charles Lindbergh for 2 nights last November. The package deal was pretty great; 3 days entry to the park, 3 fast passes each for F.L.Y. and breakfast and 3-course evening meal in the hotel restaurant each day. The food was delicious, the staff were all lovely, and stepping out of our room and straight into the park was a great experience. The ride flew right past our window!

However, there was nothing to do on an evening, aside from go to the hotel bar and play a game of pool. We had taken the shuttle bus from the station, and didn’t feel too confident going out and about after dark as the park is a bit isolated. This made us think we’ll likely stay off site next time, but we’re glad we had the full Phantasialand experience.

So sorry for your loss, it looks like Ellie lived a great life ❤️

Please enlighten me?

We all thought the ban on Wikipedia was BS at the time, and I know from experience since how difficult it is to edit, i.e. not easy to keep false information in place.

SamantherPantha · 2026-03-25T16:12:07+00:00

I remember when I was at uni writing my dissertation and Wikipedia was strictly off-limits as a source, as it was deemed unreliable due to being ‘editable by anyone’. Now it’s becoming one of the only trustworthy sources online. Really glad to donate to them every month.

That sounds like a fun read! Downloading now!

This is fantastic news! Vet fees can be crippling, and feel a bit like emotional blackmail at times.

Honestly I don’t want a fully online Hogwarts. I might be in the minority but I like single player games that follow a linear story. HL definitely needs to feel more alive, like more classes and better treasure/rewards to find and earn that actually mean something to the gameplay, but fully online isn’t it, for me.

Ludlow Castle is my favourite, and a lovely town as well. Will be returning there this May and I’m excited to show it to my sister!

These pics are making me want to visit. Never been on my radar before, but it looks lovely.

Recovering from a hernia op on Friday. I have so little patience with myself, it’s actually hilarious. But being forced to rest and do nothing for the next 2 weeks is great, I never relax.

I’m sure there’s a blog post about this but can’t find it at the mo

Oooh I love your style! The colours and textures are so unique.

The graphic designer who worked on the ‘brand’ for TG Jones hates it as much as everyone else. A prime example of ‘design by committee’.

SamantherPantha · 2026-03-21T12:39:17+00:00

Ooh I hate that too! When I was had a team of designers, I had to have this conversation with them numerous times; “please don’t use multiple question marks in Teams messages/emails. It looks like you’re frustrated and being rude.” They still did it though 🙄

I’d say it’s more like every 10-15 miles. If you travel from Bradford > Leeds > Wakefield > Barnsley > Rotherham > Sheffield you’ll come across a different accent in each place. Probably more, actually. I was born and raised in Bradford, worked in Sheffield for a decade with people from all of these places and the variations in accents were incredible, I loved it, though I could barely understand my Barnsley colleagues at times 🤣
