Let's maybe wait until everyone's forgiven the last time it was the richest most dynamic country in the world, shall we?
Had Geri been singing The National Front Disco that might be a meaningful comparison
Lipstick Traces has a lot to answer for…
Which to be fair it kind of did…in retrospect all of those bands trying to be punchy and mouthy and catchy and vaguely glam-but-thuggish now feel like people shaking a boggle set until it spells O-A-S-I-S
yes, they gave fuck all to Catwalk, the Fabulous-equivalent (though even then Roberts was a far better writer than Dudfield)
Oh, fucking hell, the endless bookings of that lot (plus some public school prog band from Abingdon) at the East Slope bar at university
If they make the fucker Duke of Earl once the fuss dies down, I’m blaming you
Hah, yes, they should all be fox-hunting by that point.
Think you may have to wait until President-for-life Don Jr jails Secretary-of-State-for-life Baron (or v/v)
The one I keep remembering lately is Ken MacLeod's description in Cosmonaut Keep (I think) of a software engineer whose job has become to ride herd on a bunch of semi-autonomous AIs that write and test all his code. Which sounded funny in 2000
Wonka. How does that much talent, with that fun an idea, make such a terrible film?
“If you want to be a millionaire be a multimillionaire and buy an airline“ remains one of my favourite cliches - it combines huge ego rewards with massive complexity, low margins and brutal competition

Ah, I was thinking the exact same thing and fiddling trying to do that...

Something something Wars of the Three Kingdoms Something? I mean basically everyone other than Cromwell learned soldiering in Germany & it’s the same idiot family
I recall a creative director demanding a MacBook (one of the beautiful tiny ones they made in the mid-2010s) for his bag & a Mac Pro + Studio display on the desk. I pretty much had a full time engineer making the syncing work invisibly
They all look like happy hardcore mix cd covers or those shops that sold smart drugs in 1994. Both might have pivoted into Vapes, I guess
You fucking coward, Cook, just adapt Malazan.
Absolutely think this comes from gaming - it's literally farming for XP in order to level up
Nah, you still see a few of them, though mostly people move out at 40 to run an artisanal sock boutique for 6 months rather than retiring these days
I quite like the bits where he makes his own musket, but yeah. my big thing about Bevis is gratitude that my mum talked dad out of naming me after it…and I will hear no criticism of Missee Lee
It was me, and I still shudder about that to this day
There's also a counterforce - I was v v sceptical of my parent's raggedy old hardbacks of eg Richard Jennings or Beavis: Story of a Boy, and my kids flat refused to read any of my old books because the paper was yellow
How will they learn that the best underwater picnic is a jar of hot dog sausages and a bottle of coke (because the bubbles equalise the pressure), then?
I think
