If you see this, post a robot.

One thing that really surprised me on a rewatch a while back is just how astoundingly cheap the first episode looked. Heartbeat had better production values.

Admit it, until about an hour ago you couldn't answer the question "who is Jay Graber?" correctly.

Remember during the first administration when you'd wake up, check your phone to see what stupid shit has happened overnight? I'm almost nostalgic for those days.

On the plus side, you really should give Small Prophets a go as it’s as much of a joy as everyone says.

Or in the case of Hannan, he has always just been a fucking idiot.

Fuck Harry Styles, where was Flimsy Steve?

Hence "pretty much", hahaha.

(I actually think Home Alone is a legit masterpiece. It's so well plotted plus one of the all-time great John Candy performances.)

Also: pretty much every John Hughes film has highly problematic sexual politics, is extremely racist or both.

Apologies if I'm telling you something you already know, but the very early drafts explicitly had Woody as the bad guy and it was too unbalanced. It went through a load of rewrites until they made that aspect better.

There is obviously a *lot* wrong with American Beauty in retrospect but two things that are overlooked are how horrendous the acting is and how it has the production values of a bad TV movie.

This book is an absolute masterpiece and everyone should be forced to read it.

As ever, Lord, bless me with the bulletproof confidence of Daniel Hannan despite him spending his entire adult life being publicly shown to be wrong about literally everything.

Ireland?

We do. We talk about it *all the fucking time*. And quite rightly.

Don't get me wrong, doing it to the chair is awful but doing it to someone who was likely a big fan, agonised over whether they should ask a question full stop and who to this day probably shudders with the embarrassment of what happened is abhorrent behaviour.

I will be forever grateful to my GCSE English teacher for teaching us Macbeth with the help of the Trevor Nunn production. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgEs...

I feel the inherent Spursiness will be diluted if they're relegated. Part of the fun is watching the belief that maybe, just maybe, this will be the year that they become proper challengers. Then they place 50 rakes across the pitch and run into all of them.

I loved how the latter, even down to casting, was clearly an influence on David Lynch. It’s so strange at times.

This has been me over the past few years but with Singing in the Rain and West Side Story.

Not quite to the same level as yours but we refer to World Book Day as "our Sports Day" given the state of our bookshelves versus family sporting prowess.

I'm launching a campaign for a UK equivalent with Ed Miliband on a horse. Who's with me?

I once got an email from my own that annoyed me so much I literally said 'oh for fuck's sake' and cancelled my membership there and then.

Hopefully the 'two random celebs go on a road trip' will be collateral damage in the explosion.

The only World Book Day posts I've seen this morning are from people moaning about it proving BlueSky really is the true successor to the glory days of Twitter.

Mug slogans I would buy:
"Yer ma's your da, yeh bastard."
"They haven't gone away you know."
"Never. Never. Never."
"Confidential Telephone. 0800666999."
A logo of "Go For It" (Peter Corry's face optional)
