I think that was my broader question, yes!

I’m obviously in Dad-mode. 

Oh boy. Comment box, click to choose files, browse until you find it. Then attach it.

Get @Phoenix Girl's mum to help you out, she's clearly more savvy than you are

[Woffy]

Shirley immediately phoned me after sending this because she thought her text did Stormzy a disservice because she saw him on TV on GCSE results day, at his old school, with the kids as they opened their results. 

 

Paraphrasing Mum now - apparently he was ‘really lovely’ with them, especially the ones that didn’t do well - telling them it’s not the end of the world nor is school the only path, etc. 

 

She also knew he had excellent GCSE results and A-Levels. 

 

Whilst all this fucking astounding I’ve got to admit I’m really, really hoping to Christ she hasn’t ‘done a Lukaku’ here. I’d be mortified. 

 

She then spent 20 minutes telling me all the stuff she told me yesterday (about the Remembrance do at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton). 

 

She also asked what I wanted for Christmas!!!

Think she puts most of us to shame by full naming him.

So Stormzy backed by a choir of eFesters’ mums?

I hope it ends up being something Stormzy related on the back of this question. Whether that's what Woffy wants or not.

He wants a bigger pair of boots

[Miesh]

I may have posted this before but it seems appropriate to say that my best mate's mum loved Stormzy last year. Her first Glastonbury. In her 60's, recovering from a broken hip, waving her walking stick as people near us formed a protective circle around us. One of my favourite Glastonbury moments.

I don't think he's big enough yet to headline though. Sub headliner probably.

I do want footwear, but not from my mum. 

I don’t know why she bothers asking. I ask for book(s) every Christmas and birthday. 

I did once ask my - sadly now passed - then 92 year old Gran for a copy of Never Mind the Bollocks... on the condition she went into HMV and asked for it. She gave zero fucks and duly did so.

Glad to bring some joy to everyone ? my mum is a legend so I'm glad she's become an efests meme.

That’s still cool af though!

Same Gran also gave up smoking aged 92 (started at 11 y/o) because “it’s bad for you”. Just stopped. One tough Cumbrian fucking Grandma that.

This thread is glorious. Has anyone sent Mr Stormzy a link on the Twitter place? Reckon he would love all the mams knowing who he is.  

[Simsy]

The Stormzy thread has blown up, maybe something's been officially announced.

*several hours of reading later*

Nope, but at least I now know what everyone's mum thinks of him!

Yes, yes, someone whose Mum knows how to use twitter, make her tweet it!!!

[Gnomicide]

Don't think he's on Twitter.
