Fresh out in the world of #JustOverheard: in Waitrose just now I saw a small boy reach eagerly for a mini-Sellotape dispenser, followed by the words from his mum “No Tom, no Sellotape today”.

So knackered is my attention span these days, I can't even be arsed to read all of his surname, let alone his books.

The problem with eating schnitzel is that after four mouthfuls you can’t remember a time that you *weren’t* eating schnitzel. It’s like Pilgrims Progress.

Also the film is WONDERFUL. Long, but wonderful.

I loved Satantango. Can’t recall if I’ve completed anything else, but that’s a good one.

Go Laszlo!

Lászlóóóóóóóóóóóóóó!

Great news! But what oh what is an STV player?

Would be great if millions watched this party political broadcast. Could you share this post?

Ooh- am also Hellering/Happening.

Half a million. Net migration poster.

Controls on immigration mug.

Go home van from Theresa may.

Pm says Britain has been squeamish about illegal immigration.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.

Cartoon: two people at a table with paper, rulers, pens, knives, a jam jar with tools in. Third person entering the scene. Person at the table says "Welcome to Book Binding Club. Please make yourself a tome". I don't know how well puns work with readers. It's two separate words, "a" and "tome". Would welcome any feedback on this.

Although I say I am not going out with Colin, he doesn't seem to know it yet.

Soy Cuba by same directory I believe- also pretty great.

Yeah, a top ten film easily for me.

He is (almost) uniquely interesting to read, particularly in (longish) smaller doses, but I sometimes have to stop myself to remember why I’m reading it. Solenoid was amazing- yet I didn’t finish it…

We all know it’s Porridge v. Seinfeld v. Reggie Perrin in the final so let’s hear no more of this shall we.

Blinding by Mircea Cărterescu. Long book.

Very good so far, fella wears his Proustfluence like a badge, but let’s see if I can finish it…

Back of a Jelly Babies bag including the following text: “Step back in time with our iconic 1995 pack designs. jelly Babies LIMITED EDITION RETRO BAG We are thrilled to launch limited-edition packs of Jelly Babies to capture the nostalgia of the 90s. This special release akes you on a journey to relive the past with packaging that delighted shelves in 1995. Let's celebrate the charm of yesteryear together!”

I regret to advise you that Jelly Babies are currently being sold in a “retro” design bag to capture the “nostalgia” of “yesteryear”, ie 1995.

Surf’s Down, in all fairness.

Fair point. I end up there so often. Will subscribe.

Yeah, I’m treating this season as the last, emotionally speaking, just in case.

Six-fingered Joseph Cotten.

I just googled this and could barely find any info- well spotted. Event next year at Foyles @mjohnharrison.bsky.social ?

ie Mr Bennett? That’s brilliant.

This is a good answer.
