The audiobook is a masterpiece. I’ve listened to it about 5 times now.

It’s something else isn’t it. It reminded me a little of his book Nomad.

Watching How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge) for the second time. I always enjoy it more at the first time. β€œMy ex wife used to punish me with food and this soup reminds me of her punishment soup”

Not sure if I’ll be able to finish watching this The Librarians documentary, it’s making me so angry. Maybe don’t tell other countries that they have a problem with free speech when your one is banning children’s books about black people’s hair.

As a Brit, the veneration of SNL is hard to understand. You'll see somebody say "OMG this was my favourite sketch growing up" & it's some guy in a bad wig behind a game show podium looking into the wrong camera saying "Don't give me cheese and tell me it's chicken!" while the audience goes nuts.

That's the one that bugged me the most as well but having said that there's been mutterings that's he slowly became a bit of a prick over the last 10 years. And Jimion too (Irish comic not so well known in the UK, did Edinburgh a lot though) but I think he might be one of the for the money ones.

And yeah, I was ranting about that comedy festival. I don't think it is entirely about the money when a lot of them are millionaires already. I think they might just be c**ts.

I think even if I won the lottery I would struggle to live in a massive house. A fancy one for a mere 4 million would do me. I'd cope with just two en-suites. I'm basically Ghandi.

I can't see the logic in who's got what but as you say, I'm not complaining. I'm just curious what happened.

I'm pretty certain he's born upper class. What's hilarious is he sees himself as a man of great taste. He popped up on a documentary about antiques. Porcelain mostly. Horrible horrible porcelain.

I read somewhere that Jack Whitehall's house cost 17 million. The Big Red Dog money wasn't that good was it?

Yeah, I'm suspicious af about where he got his money from. I know he's a broadcaster now but not an especially in demand stuff. Probably some dodgy shares shenanigans over the years. He's an awful man. I remember that fight he had with a taxi driver about 10 years ago.

For ages I thought ITVX kept making me watch stuff on STV Player because I'm in Scotland but they seem to randomly have the rights to different stuff.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. β™₯οΈπŸ“š

Ever since I saw this I keep thinking about how odd "artistic films" sounds.

"My favourite genre? Tough one. I would have to say hard books"

Imagine if the best actor Oscar is announced and they cut straight to an interview with a bitter Nicholas Lyndhurst.

*sigh* Another year of the Nobel Peace Prize being hijacked by the person who didn't win it.

It reminds me of once reading about an alleged no-go zone in London while actually in the said no-go zone while drinking a flat white. (Whitechapel, if you were wondering)

Oh yeah, it's coming back to me now. He stood for the Canadian Natural Law Party. I forgot about the liver cancer. Christ that's bleak.

obviously we're not short of horrors but there's something about "please stop sending me AI videos you've made of my dead father" that has really got under my skin

Doug Henning! That's a name I've not thought of in a while. There was rumour he'd started to believe magic was real.

Before AI I used to see comments under clips of magic tricks from old tv shows saying they were camera tricks and when you say it’s not camera tricks they’d reply well it’s not actual magic lol!!πŸ˜‚. Imagine if they ever left the house. Birds flying would blow their minds.

Just seen a comment under a clip from the 1970s dismissed as AI.
