You look like a retired Turkish accountant, a Turkish accountant told me.

Do you think Nic Cage has been possessed? How will we know? Or could this have been the departure of the spirit of Spider-Noir?

That's on Köroğlu Cad in GOP. It used to be "Turkish Bank" but now rebranded. We have so much freedom we can keep it in vadeli mevduat now.

I’ve just heard that one of the true greats of SF writing, Ian Watson, has passed away. A huge figure of the genre and an enormously entertaining character. A real loss.

My pitch for the next Alan Partridge show is when he blags his way onto TRTWorld or PressTV or RT or alJaz as a host for a current affairs chat show and has to move to a hotel in Dubai or Ankara and say things like "and how will that play among the Druze?" or "but Türkiye is a major player".

Colin likes their spicy crisps, but you're right. The name A101 hints at elite access and privilege so there may be many bewildered Emiratis staring at packets of kavurma.

if you consider the BBC's trajectory in Turkey - from three TV channels to none, access to BBC Sounds closed, BBC Turkish shifting from agenda-setting to irrelevance - it's possible to think that the soft power ship has already sailed. sad face emoji
