M&S using 4:3 Academy ratio for their Bourbons Trying to subliminally create strangeness and distance. The biscuit Wes Anderson.

LCY The epitome of "a station for catching planes". You can get through it in 15min, they actually don't like you turning up too early. All the passengers know how to work an airport. The DLR is right outside.

In Edinburgh? I saw Orpheus and Eurydice at the Playhouse last night and still can't quite believe what I witnessed There are some tickets left for Friday and Saturday, I do not think you'll regret it

A play set in the late 1980s in which Tom Good, Reggie Perrin and Hancock's The Rebel meet up and compare how the "walking out on the office" thing went for them

Look at this cast. That's a heady casserole of rich voices

Literally the plot of all "team of specialists" nerd media - superhero crossovers, heist films, tabletop gaming, MMORPGs, Star Trek This is nerd bread and butter. How are AI bros getting away with selling "you don't need those guys"?

dude, your soda and your boots rock

David Byrne only wears the suit for Girlfriend is Better. He doesn't wear it for Once in a Lifetime, you're thinking of Kermit the Frog

Irish folk (and others who were living here at the time), what events/stories/incidents would you include in an essential guide to the Celtic Tiger if you were trying to describe it for those who didn't experience it? It's for a (possible) thing 😀 #speirgorm
