I love Banksy as an artist and social commenter but these are actually better art

Bloody packaging!!! I want to clean the oven, but I've been trying for the last ten minutes to get the top off the spray...I just can't do it...I'm exhausted and feel pathetic . And cross

...and was responding cos I like the murals very much...I like Glasgow too....

I dislike when email is used as a means of communication for interviews.

Much prefer a phone call.

I just received an email from the New Brunswick newspaper group.
To ensure up to date coverage of the US election, printing of the November 9, 2016 edition of all publications will be delayed by 30 minutes.

Please note that delivery will be delayed as a result. The majority of customers can be expect to receive their newspaper by 8 AM
They've never done this before. Not even for Canada elections.
