I was reminded of a very Dublin insult this morning - “oh he’s such a martyr, Padre Pio has a picture of him on his windscreen”.

Jimmy is human except when he is with the mods & then they're all Muppets. Sting is a Muppet until he's shown working as a bellboy & then Jimmy sees him as a mere human. On his solitary trip back to Brighton at the end, Jimmy flips back & forth between human & Muppet. This thing writes itself!

Yup. Competing with daylight is HARD. You need to stuff a lot of light down the waveguide and that needs chunky light sources which chuck out their heat to somewhere The user's head, in this case

1/x Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is taken hostage in a lifeboat, and US Navy SEALs end it after five days. The snipers dealt with the guys in the lifeboat. The Belgians dealt with the guy at the top of the whole trade. A thread.

One of the really fun things about Andor is that "TIE fighter photoshopped into a picture of the Scottish Highlands" is the sort of thing you'd see on www.b3ta.com and here it is in ACTUAL STAR WARS

I went to a posh restaurant in a cellar of a Georgian building in UK. A sign outside said “entrance”, pointing to a low archway. I ducked through the archway … and slid down the steep inner embrasure of the window I’d walked through, and landed on a restaurant table below with a loud crash. (1/2)

I think about this HST paragraph a lot. From www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

This reminded me of the *supremely annoying* set of coasters from an AirBnB we stayed at Yellow Submarine‽ Really? You couldn't think of maybe another famous cover from a late Beatles album?

Set of 8 coasters depicting Beatles album covers. Fair enough. Between the White Album and Let It Be we have, of course... Yellow Submarine?

Perhaps the best bit of the article is the bit when Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & The Papas goes to see Star Wars, and suggests where some of the gear that was doing the rounds that night might have come from

“I didn’t even know Harrison was an actor. I remember getting dragged to Star Wars at 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I was sitting there, watching the screen, and all of a sudden Harrison comes on and I gasped and said, ‘That’s my pot dealer!’ ”

Yup. The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen both published in 1986. 40 years since the lights went out all over superheroes. I rather hoped we'd see them lit again in our lifetime.

Good example of how the 19th century invented the romantic idea of "The Scottish Highlands". The 4 castles depicted here date from: 1840, 1848, 1856 and, er, *1932*

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe starts this weekend but the 416 pages of tiny print in the weighty programme are nothing less than daunting. So I'm hankering after simpler times, and dug out my programme from 50 years ago (1976) which was a single fold-out sheet. And there's more.../
