Cars in stuff set in 1970s Britain when they are all immaculate from some classic car collection when in reality a big percentage of them would have filthy, barely road worthy, rust boxes. bsky.app/profile/dear...

wild to read interviews with the children of famous people where they're angrily like "I wasn't rich! I worked hard for what I had! people talk about nepo babies but they don't even know!" and then two paragraphs later they're talking about the dinners they had with Cary Grant and shit. BE SERIOUS.

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

It's great when you read some absolutely mind expanding bit of weirdo lit and having a mild internal freak-out about it... and then it's 'well I guess I'll just have to do my boring ass life stuff now'

I keep wondering if I should do a Stones listen though... I think this has tipped into yes (at some point). Think Led Zep will be first though (and perhaps the Beatles and Floyd again... and Half Man Half Biscuit)

Rewatching Conclave for the third time. Utterly ridiculous film, with no plot logic, just events, held together by a handful of great performances. But somehow those performances and the way it's shot connive to make you feel like you're watching a great drama about important themes.

I read the novel before seeing the film, and there's a bit more to it but it still made me swear not to read another Harris again.

A while back I was without the internet for a bit so I spent time down the local library to use their computers and it was so depressing the number of middle-aged middle-class women who came in asking for the new Jeffrey Archer

For 'professional' reasons, I am a member of lots of small town Facebook groups. This bloke has been appearing in towns across Sussex (Horsham, Redhill, Crawley, East Grinstead) with no apparent explanation. This is precisely why I stay subscribed to these groups.

I read one of Archer's novels way back in the day... it was crap. Started reading the first chapter of his prison diary only a few months ago for reasons I can't remember and he slags off a female guard for being fat and working class so I hope he had a really miserable time.

Looking at the list of candidates for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election (as you do) and there's someone for 'Climate' which is apparently 'a conservative green party'. Not sure how that's supposed to work.
