Forget the North-South divide. Is this the REAL way to split England in two?

@foxy_cafc Or, shorter answer, ‘Chained to a Radiator’. That one’s a bit Lennonny, I guess. Bleak lyrics, time signature shenanigans, lots of finger picking around a D chord.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

@foxy_cafc Would love to pick this apart and find out what you mean by “McCartney-ish” & “Lennonnish”. Much as I’m massively influenced by the Beatles (aren’t we all?) if I can determine which individual Beatle I’m writing more like, that probably makes it more plagiarism than inspiration.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

@ThatLoganJames It was semi-improvised. There were some very similar words in the script, but each take, I said it slightly differently.

@JJStealth82 @markcooperjones By the way, I tend to respond much more quickly over on Bluesky. I’m not here much at all anymore.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

@JJStealth82 @markcooperjones We don’t really do real time stuff. It takes months to get our episodes made. Also, we already covered the topic of map projections in a previous episode. That said, we really should be more on it with social media and stuff.

@juanjolezq I did my gap year in Paraguay (in Villa Hayes), and lived there for 6 months. That’s why I like to mention Paraguay whenever I can in our videos. Glad you’ve spotted them! :)

Mba'éichapa! 🇵🇾 We need someone who speaks Guarani to help us write a sketch in the next episode of Map Men. If that’s you please get in touch!

@ChaudharyAchyut @markcooperjones We realised that ‘Map Men’ was the thing that 99.999% of new subscribers were looking for, and needed reassuring was who we really were. So we’ve changed the name (again) for best brand consistency and what not. Could change any time in the future if we fancy it.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

Oh my!! Well, this is absolutely wonderful! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who bought a copy and helped send the Map Men book number 1!

@colonelbarker The Australian version is completely different. It was paperback from the start. But the UK version was hardback, but the paperback is now available. The US version is hardback but the paperback's not available. And EU is a mix of all three. Or something like that.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

Do you love funny stories about maps that went wrong? Do you want to take a book in your hand luggage on holiday?

Then, good news! The PAPERBACK edition of the #MapMen book 'This Way Up - When Maps Go Wrong' is out TODAY!

@wombey12 If it was one of the events we were at, that's totally allowed. If it wasn't one of the events we were at, that's technically not allowed, but we won't quibble.

@akenoch_2445 Bahasa Melayu is EVEN BETTER!!!! (We're looking for the language spoken in the Maluku Islands... that's right, isn't it?)

I'll DM you with more details. Stand by.....

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

1. Apakah Anda berbicara bahasa Indonesia? 🇮🇩

2. Apakah Anda memiliki mikrofon?

3. Apakah Anda ingin berbicara dalam sebuah episode 'Map Men'?

Jika jawaban untuk ketiga pertanyaan tersebut adalah "YA", silakan balas.

[Jay Foreman @jayforeman]

@zwDan That’s the best, most detailed and helpful answer I’ve had so far. Thanks! :)

If you're an English speaker, and you're talking about the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, how do you pronounce the G in the middle of his name?
