The world is in flames. We are being crippled by rising inflation, unfathomable energy prices and inept leadership, and this winter will be worse. At times like these, it can feel a little like there’s no point going on, as if we’re all just bugs waiting to be crushed by the world’s indifferent machinery. But sometimes the universe hears us, and gives us all exactly what we need to restore our will to live. That’s right, I’m talking about a photograph of Sir Ian McKellen walking out of a big egg.
It thrills me to report that such a photograph now exists, thus instantly nullifying any problems that any of us may have ever been experiencing about anything at all. McKellen, one of the titans of both cinema and theatre, has just walked out of a great big egg. A gold egg, too. And he was wearing a lovely scarf as he did it. Boy, someone up there is really listening to us.
