@danbarker The George, right? I regularly drive out into the Peak District to look for nice, random pubs to have lunch at and spend a few hours reading or working.
Asked my boy which US election coverage he was going to watch. CNN. “Why? Cos they’re centrist? Got pundits you like? Anything but Fox?” “They have the coolest graphics!”
@subintellectual It’s still got legs, somehow. My nephew (19, his first GE) parroted the same to me tonight as to why he didn’t vote Labour.
Encouragingly, he couldn’t bring himself to vote Tory or Reform either, as “they seem a bit racist”.
@straczynski When do they inform you, even as a courtesy, when a new licensing/distribution deal is reached, or do you just find out with the rest of us?
@MartinGrasdal@arrroberts Reminds me of the A Bit of Fry and Laurie bit, “Some viewers have written in saying they’re having trouble telling us apart. Well, to clear that up, I’m the tall, funny one.”
“And I’m the tall, funny one.”
@danbarker I’m a bit of a sucker for LA-set movies, so I’d just try to hit as many of the sights as possible. Griffith, houses in the hills, just bask in it all for as long as possible.
@mayernissim Huh. Thought you were linking someone else’s article; soon as I started, heard your voice and realised I was attuned to it from your Indelicates stuff I’d read when writing their wiki page. Anyway, good read; this moment of Noel’s career passed me by at the time & v. Interesting.
@danbarker Started a new job and got sat next to guy a similar age, a complete stranger in the same profession. Talking about family we began to recognise some overlap in relatives’ surnames, soon worked out our grandads were brothers.
