Anyone know where you can get a curtain rail for a bay window? It’d be easier to find someone to cooper a barrel.

I love it!

Damn you!!! It was a trap!!!!

Hello admirers.

(I’ve never had an admirer before; is that the correct form of address?)

Good to talk to @antonsavage.bsky.social about @kneecapceol.bsky.social & @bobvylanlyricaday.bsky.social performances at @glastonburyfestivals.co.uk yesterday on @newstalkfm.bsky.social this morning…. Listen back here: link.goloudplayer.com/s/pGRh2Qalpi4p

Well the sign outside has four stars on it. (I checked as I walked down the road trying to find somewhere that served food not cooked in tallow.)

A fine idea. I shall order two. With extra celery for my five a day.

“Night porter” you say. You’re setting a worryingly high bar…

Further to my previous question - is it normal for four star hotels to have neither air conditioning nor windows that open more than an inch?

*He asks, going to sleep in a bath full of cold water in 26º room*

Dammit. You need to reply faster. I’ve killer and eaten all the six year olds.

Concerned, but also VERY VERY hungry.

No deliveroo, no Just Eat, no four star, no dominos, no apache, no Pizza Hut. It’s hike for a spice burger or nothing.

I do like your idea of fighting 6-year-olds though. I think that’ll let off some steam (that’s what you’re suggesting right?)

No, the six year olds are all awake and beating the lining out of each other in the corridors. Maybe the hunger has made them tetchy..

None. No food. Zero. Not even a bag of crisps. Sandwich? Nope. Soup? Nada. Bread and butter? On yer bike.

Drinks are available in person and by room service. What’s a meaty drink?

Ha! That’s what it feels like! Stump up at restaurant at 8.15 - “Kitchen’s closed.” Eh, what?

Other options include - hiking to a chipper/eating own feet.

Out of curiosity - it it me, or is it unusual for a hotel that claims four stars to close its kitchen at 7.45 on a Friday night and have absolutely no other food of any kind whatsoever for guests?

Highly entertaining isn’t it?

You elicited several polite responses from me, none illicit.

Me pointing out that your endorsement of a book is less than ringing is not impolite. (It is to the author. But he’s dead. And to the book. But it’s inanimate. Also shite.)

Indubitably

Jaysus, hardly a ringing endorsement. ‘I like some of the characters and I like an event related to the book’.

“It changed my views on something. It made me happy, sad, joyful, despairing. It spoke to me, it resonated with my experience.”

No. I like some characters and posh people in straw hats.

But that doesn’t answer why you like it? Great it’s different each time, but for any one time, what do you like about it?

Are you familiar with O’Casey? James Plunkett Kelly?

Well feel free to deliver an opening gambit and partake in one.

I find an actually ‘good’ book makes people talk about the effect it had on them ‘it made me cry’ ‘it changed my understanding of poverty’ ‘it caused me to reconsider what equality means’ ‘it made me laugh’. Everyone who ‘likes’ Ulysses talks about it like an art piece in an elitist museum.
