@antlerboy Long Boris - like it

@Owler_Nook @helenpidd I thought URBIS was a great idea. To turn it into a football museum seemed premature. Its location seemed to me to be perfect base for a council-led Wilsonian Reification and Arts / Pop-Culture Praxis Centre.

@Owler_Nook @helenpidd I went to an event to celebrate Tony Wilson’s life. They called it Reification. Peter Savile was involved. They all were. How could the city celebrate Wilson’s praxis and make it more concrete. They held it at a place called URBIS.

@antlerboy @Otto_English The bully, the bullied. The adopted. A coalition of ambitious loner / no-mates types desperately trying to block out something from their subconscious…

@antlerboy @Otto_English Gove is another one. In a more mixed environment they’d all have had to adapt in a different way to thrive and gain support. Sad in a way. Trapped.

@Otto_English @antlerboy My guess is that he’s not got a personality of his own and has picked this schtick up at a young age to deal with overwhelming input into his mind. My theory is that posh culture is a easy-enough act to adopt and hide what would be neurodivergent in the common man.

@Otto_English @antlerboy Is he masking ?

@smithbarryc Excruciating party as well

@MatthewJDalby @gourmetmetrics @ComedoErgoSum In the UK, the navy was a big buyer of cheese. It’s a commodity that helped power empire.

@gourmetmetrics @MatthewJDalby @ComedoErgoSum I’m from Cheshire in the UK, a traditional dairy farming area. The main health risks would have TB, foot and mouth and Brucellosis not from sour milk. Sour milk would be turned into butter and butter milk on a small scale farm.

@heatonmoorpark More than that it chips away at public mental health : the depressing narrative that things are getting worse

@awesommelier I wasn’t convinced by the crumpet and anchovy sauce. I get it from a creative-thing-to-do perspective, but that perspective seems tired and at the end of a trend. I was surprised - it doesn’t seem to fit with basics with great ingredients such as his Basque steak odes
