Apart from anything else, a Capri, a Renault 4 and at least one Granada

Sam Fender pushed CMAT into some nettles

Is there anything to be said for watching Rush again?

Somewhere in his writings Samuel R. Delany talks about living in London in the early 1970s and going upstairs to see who was playing amazing piano and getting to know that person and becoming friends with them and of course it was Tim Curry

The plugged-up holes are the work of mason bees, so this is more of a bee lodge

Offer them farcical rituals and aprons

Don't cry for me Orangina

"stating that he would consult a lawyer"

I hope that the lawyer replied that Yeats was simply Doing What He Wilt

L: A young W B Yeats wearing pince nez and a large bow tie. R: A middle-aged Aleister Crowley wearing a large (possibly homburg) black hat and the ‘I’m mad, me’ expression that he always put on for photos

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Mostly though it's more denial that writers exist and might need paying

At most, the director workshopped the scene with the actors, one of them suggested a better line, and they wrote it in

Or they did a few alts and one of the looser ones got used

No, what I worry about is what happens when the seven companies that comprise a third of the S&P 500 stop trading the same $100b IOU around while pretending it's in all of their bank accounts at once and *implode*, vaporizing a third of the US stock market.

Viktor Orban in 1990

Look at this young firebrand, recent political science graduate, big fan of Solidarity and Gramsci, off to change the world with them for inspiration

...so many comments saying "why can't we do this", "they're miles ahead" etc.

good news! it is already happening here

We do this here in the UK too!

That is a cracking bit of package design. Reminds me of Sainsbury's 70s packaging

But, yes quite

This is why I refer to every building with a floor as a 'lift'

...and this is why people from Sheppey are more continentally sophisticated than people from Kensington

[I had a look at Mull of Galloway to the Down/Louth border, don't worry]

In that case I can't help him UNLESS we're counting the EU as "Europe" and by some chance he's from Islay. If this is the case Dougie, slam dunk:

Port Ellen to Shrove on the Inishowen peninsular is 65km

...except I stuffed it up by doing Bournemouth and not Eastbourne

It's only 92km from Eastbourne to France. Here are the relevant maps from Eastbourne - Essex is now out

map showing a 110km circle centred on Cap Gris Nez

I'd also say this YBTJ is hamstrung by not saying where Dougie is from. Bournemouth to Cap de la Hague is 110km. a 110km circle centred on Cap Gris Nez takes in most of Kent and parts of Essex and Sussex

Ooh, a good one.

I like using systems as the designer intended BUT I'm also "don't comply in advance" to a German supermarket. Plus the cultural cringe of "the continental way is more sophisticated".

On the gripping hand, she doesn't put the shopping away - it's his show, let him run it

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion

Went to a ballet that's adapting a film that features a ballet that's adapting a fairy story, and ALL FOUR of them have the same name

Discussing it requires labelling them like Marvel multiverse Earths

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

Many such cases. They've made the murderous theocrats in Tehran look sympathetic

I worry they'll have a pop at Man City next

WSC being especially half decent

"- and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The Wonderstuff"

Basically an armed 80s grebo band

Sorry I don't mean to make light of your appalling story, it sounds unbelievably grim

It's that dystopias that were exaggerated for shock value are uncomfortably coming true
