Will yap on (with only the slightest encouragement) about film, cats, comedy, music, manners, vanity, ego, and estate agents. I don't know if 25th Hour or The Shining is the best film ever made.

Supposedly an argument for keeping jury trials, I can't help but think I'd prefer my chances just in front of the beak after seeing those serving on this jury. Seen 'The Jury: Murder Trial'? Watch it here on Channel 4: www.channel4.com/programmes/t...

In short, this doc shows the complicit nature between corporations and Governments. People employed to flag safety issues, ignored by bosses, ignored by HR internally, ignored by the executives,ignored by the governing body and ignored by the DoJ. And the press? Insufficient. #Boeing #Netflix

I like that the puce ragey types will be moaning about the national alert just now. The more they talk about it, the better the job is being done.

Simultaneously, @mrrickygervais.bsky.social Gervais has made a delicate, poignant and emotional cat-lovers dream, while also turning his humour to 11 on the Derek & Clive scale. Only one episode in and loving it. #AlleyCats #Netflix #RickyGervais

I've just finished the series. It's funny of course, but deeply touching and with a sharp, respectful eye on what it is to age. Diane Morgan has never put a foot wrong. #AnnDroid #BBCiPlayer #DianeMorgan Ann Droid, Series 1: Episode 1: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002xhy6 via @bbciplayer

I don't know. It's a three minute break and the added time always includes it, so its the same end result and same true end time.

I recently heard @aiannucci.bsky.social talking on the radio, about how he was told that AI can't show a glass about to overflow. I've been considering the issue since, on and off. I think I'e done it, with just three consecutive instructions.

Very true. I saw an old vox pop on a documentary about the Yorkshire Ripper years ago. They'd asked an older woman about the victims (largely sex workers). She said something that will stay with me forever; "A bad man is just a bad man, but a bad woman will always be a very bloody bad woman indeed"

In terms of a totality description, I'm expecting my epitaph to be 'cat botherer'. There's not much else to say really.

Maternal Instinct on Netflix. I'd say it's unbelievable but frankly, there are a half a dozen people I've known in my life who I'd not be surprised to find they did this too. Two, I'd actively expect would do it.

People mistakenly say we can't talk to cats. I always say we can, we just don't speak the same language. Tone and volume exchanges are clear as day with my little girl.

More than anything, my big take away from Obsession is the lack of responsibility in being in a relationship. At the start, he's aghast that his cat is dead, having consumed medication, that was in a childproof tub, asking how the cat had accessed it. NO OPPOSABLE THUMBS. Plant, pet, person.

Brexit: A Very British Civil War, has a telling last piece of dialogue from Johnson, but earlier, Farage actually boldly says that the murder of Jo Cox was "completely unrelated to Brexit". I had to pause the stream and leave the room for a few minutes. Here's hoping you face something unrelated.

No humility from Alan Shearer. If VAR had been in place tonight, they would have been given a penalty. But no, he can't help but turn that into a bizarro further criticism of VAR, desperate not to let grip of his argument. All for ego. Their first goal wouldn't have stood either.

This drives me nuts. Years ago, the French banned noisesome fireworks, because of their impact on animals. It speaks plenty to the minds of those who have such a thirst for bangs and flashes. We have the silent option, and now we have drone displays too. I hope you all get some rest and calm. x

Initially this sounds likely but, on further thought, he was actively looking for a musician and it was a busy time in that area. I think he'd have found someone else. Very probably with only an ounce of Marr's talent though. Perhaps a b-list indie band, which would still be popular of course.
