A family favourite here 🙂
Someone remind Scott that world is round
Tuesday meet up with my old friend Will. Subjects covered: films directed by Paul Schrader, especially Rolling Thunder and Mishima: A life in four chapters. Italian's writing under the pseudonym Luther Blissett. The Plastic Ono Band and primal scream therapy. The use of cursive text in comic books.
Starmer seems to be following Wilson's approach to Vietnam by not committing troops but allowing some logistical and diplomatic support (and being ambivalent re criticism). Worth noting that Wilson lost the 1970 election.
Glastonbury '93?
Definitely feels like they're skipping the decline stage.
I saw a cushion the other day with "Give it a rest!" written on it
I try to project the second half of the word out of my nose.
I'm amazed there wasn't at least one bagpipe expert in Jamaican music, to spar with White Rum Raymond, the reggae violinist.
You put a monetary deposit down to enter a member of your political party into the election. If they get less than 1000 (I think) votes, your deposit isn't returned 😀
I love those Signet classics, always a bit psychedelic with plenty of negative space.
Sassy
I bought some Supermalt to try and fill a beer-shaped hole in my life, then I remembered it tastes like flat Family Choice cola.
My son did a load of work for game design prize entry. He's lost it all because he was using my old laptop with little disk space, and it crashed. Feeling really sad for him.
They do have customers...
Sounds like a UCU meeting
Just read that as Joan Baez :(

Cheers. You can't sail from Hoylake anymore. The old channel (the Hoyle Lake) began to silt over in the 60s, and now it's all sand.
We had a cat man in New Brighton
Hopefully Candy. Nick, that is.
Can't beat the Maytones, IMHO. Vernon Buckley's voice is so distinctive. Ridulously underrated.
Rewatched it recently. It's very good and that ending still hurts. It also reminded me that I had a youthful crush on Christine Kavanagh after I'd seen her in a few plays at the local theatre in Scarborough.
Linda Ronstadt, London, early 70s
"Content" is a good word for documentation that no one will ever read, which is mainly written by machines rather than human adults.
AI acting autonomously, can decide to destroy you if it doesn't like you: youtu.be/OMb5oTlC_q0?...
I thought it was from Hoylake
I worked at a university during covid. It was all hands to the pump. We moved lectures and open days online. It was a lot of work and business critical. I don't feel that a sector so financially weakened by government immigration policy should foot the bill.
