@BFI Brilliant. When a friend and I got it into our heads to watch this around 2010 and it was only on VHS, we made sure we watched it on the ropiest CRT TV we had access to so that it wouldn’t look weird

@hellothisisivan @Michaelknife1 I knew someone who caught up with an old schoolfriend and was told about a new boyfriend who was “high up in the BBC” and was impressed until taken aside by a 3rd friend, who explained that BBC was the familiar name for Sheffield United’s hooligan wing.

@RickyBrent4 @ohnonotagain100 @baj1983 You’ve only just heard of Chicken Shop Date now that Sir Paul’s on it, just like the old folks in 1965 learning about 4 mop top ragamuffins suddenly getting MBEs from the Queen.

@ohnonotagain100 @baj1983 At this stage, not knowing what Chicken Shop Date is is the equivalent of being in 1969 and not knowing who The Beatles are.

During the Irish Civil War, the C-wing of Mountjoy Prison published a prison paper called 'The Book of Cells' and I am in awe of how people in prison retained such top-shelf wit.

A message popped up on my printer saying that I need to replace the cyan cartridge. Completely out of the blue!

I have Quichotte on my shelf ready to read as my second-ever Rushdie so this is not what I wanted to see.

I like Salman Rushdie’s response

LYING Odysseus, he lied to the Cyclops. He told his wife, honey I'm coming back, and he cheated on her like a dog. *crowd boos* He took twenty years, I could have done it in twenty days, just look at our beautiful First Lady *crowd cheers* And he was very unfair to Poseidon

@sturgios Same happened to Linda Robson in 2003. They never learn.

@wallaceme and Bach and Handel were blinded by the same man who couldn’t

Got overexcited about this because I took Page to be Denys.

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

The whole Page/Achilles controversy is remarkably silly since it's all based on a rumor and also the line Page reads ("Who's looking after your wife and son") doesn't even make sense for Achilles? I'd guess Page is actually playing prophet ghost Tiresias, whom Odysseus seeks out.

@PAHoyeck I quite like it when people have written in library books

One of my favorite Napoleon moments is when he was exiled to Elba and singlehandedly turned it around in less than a year, he was just That Guy

@sentantiq There’s been too much discussion of the tropos part at the expense of the poly. Like how many tropoi do we think this guy had. 5? 5 million? I feel like it makes a difference.
