South London. Neither.
pinned post!
I am very very convinced that the phrase “creative person” is completely tautologous. My evidence is only that I have met quite a lot of people.

Lots of new followers this morning. Are people finally getting the message that the other place is a shitshow owned by a right wing nut job? Hope so.

Can I ask you a favour? Could you tag your posts with
#traitorsuk
? Your takes are my absolute favourite, but with US traitors airing now there’s too much US content on the other hashtags!

Fascinated by the maths of the flixbus coach tracker that is capable of showing a vehicle steadily travelling in one direction while you watch it but then when you click away and check back it’s moved significantly in the opposite direction

By water to Deptford, and there among other things viewed old pay-books, and found that the Commanders did never heretofore receive any pay for the rigging time, but only for seatime, contrary to what Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten told the Duke the other day.

ROBIN OF SHERWOOD (1984): Michael Praed was The Hooded Man in Richard Carpenter's dark ITV drama, which fully leant into the mythology of the character. Magic, demons, the supernatural, pagan myth, and Robin's Obi Wan Kenobi, Herne the Hunter, all featured. Still the best Robin Hood ever!

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

I don’t know. Yesterday a woman in the Bloomsbury Waitrose described the one in Granary Square as “the good Waitrose” and for a moment I thought “huh, maybe David Betz is right. Maybe we will start to see civil war on the Strand”.

Because they took all the salt out of crisps!! I end up eating way too much fat to try and get enough sodium when I don't have time to cook and can't face just licking up a sachet of NaCl. We don't all need the salt bullies thanks

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

From the Wikipedia article about Solvej Balle: "An English translation [of her earlier work] by Barbara J. Haveland, According to the Law: Four Accounts of Mankind, was published in 1996." Has anybody seen this book? No copies online. I wonder if anybody is planning to reissue it?

Quantum leaping to the life of the creator of the Metropolitan Police… in late 1845, to recall Parliament, resign as Prime Minister, unresign, and do away with the Corn Laws. Just to repeal something.
