The dress code said ‘Fabulous’ so I came as a messy Father Christmas, it seems.

Congratulations @pimlicat.bsky.social!

The British are famously indifferent to class, so I know none of you will be interested to learn how we developed a quick and easy way to identify privilege.

And also you get to hear Daniel Craig reverting to Scouse.

Timely pod, having had a fun convo at home about why a guerilla fighter on Blake’s 7 sounded like she could have been reading Muffin the Mule.

Yeah, I guess strictly speaking, but I'd argue pedantically there's a difference between 'as' and 'as if' ... though I'm really just being stubborn.

I reckon a metaphor ...

It's as if the kids are led into a workshop full of tools but with very little wood.

Cricket’s going great.

True!

Or possibly a defunct server

Cricket’s not going great, is it?

I’m intrigued to know which team @anandmenon.bsky.social is on.

So how does this one end?

I know, I know rich men have always made themselves the hero of their own story, and now the most powerful storyteller is AI. But it’s a sci-fi plot, isn’t it?

If hadn’t lived through it, I would struggle to believe that the world’s richest man built an AI to glorify himself.

I think a lumbar puncture in 2008 was probably worse.

As the doctor was pumping in the fentanyl, she described it as ‘the happy juice’, and I have to say my high expectations were not met.

Otherwise, the staff at the Royal Free were lovely.

Recovering. Thanks for good wishes.

Hit those consonants!

Great to hear @alanmanning4.bsky.social on the Oh God, What Now? podcast talking about his new book: Why Immigration Policy is Hard: And How to Make it Better.

"We make more of a mess of it [immigration policy] than we need to, and that is connected to this binary, polarised debate."

Anyway, please enjoy. I, on the other hand, am about to have a gastroscopy.

Tell me why GCHQ is more interesting than I think!

I was reading last weekend's Lunch with the FT interview with the former head of MI6 and thinking, just imagine if I could get him on the pod. Delulu, as my daughter would say.

Why, do you reckon?

So if I were going to do a More Jam Tomorrow on the secret service, which would be most interesting, MI5 or MI6?

What the Queen's English revealed about a changing world The accent of the world's longest-serving monarch evolved during her long reign – reflecting enormous social shifts that occurred during that time.

Quite possibly. I'd just like to know the figures, and right now we don't have them

I've recently researched this for a piece. Visas are available if you get a job or your freelance income is high enough, or if you're a retiree with assets – plenty of UK retirees with private pensions and the mortgage paid off would. u.ae/en/informati...
