Well that was quite a monologue to sit through. Very telling the way he spoke at Emily.

I signed up to the AAA membership earlier this week and there's been a long delay to all main podcasts. Not so AAA after all.

That was really interesting. I’ve played ESO on and off since One Tamriel and I keep meaning to return.

Now onto the deleted scenes from the special edition Blu-ray. I love that Lynch cared enough to properly curate the extra footage (as he did with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me).

I was at the first UK Mulholland Drive press screening (thanks to a friend). At the end there was a massive groan from the audience and I just thought, “I’ve no idea what just happened and I can’t discuss it with anybody.” I left with a massive headache. Good times.

Haha, depends on the day. Right now: Blue Velvet.

Great pick. But what a selection to choose from!

Eventually, I got a reply from the woman herself. Sarah emailed "Sorry Murray, I'm washing my hair tonight." 13/14

Even though just a few minutes had elapsed, my inbox was filling with replies from across the company: "Go for it Murray!!!" / "Who's Sarah?!" and so on. To compound matters, there were two Sarahs in the office so there were some confused replies asking me "Which Sarah?!" 12/14

When I got back in the office, I was confronted by a sea of grinning faces (the company occupied four floors and this one was the quietest so worse was still to come). I shuffled back to my computer. My boss said to me "Did you just go outside to find a hole to jump into?" 11/14

As soon as I got outside, I phoned my friend Pete and explained the situation. I was distraught with embarrassment. He said nothing; he just laughed down the phone at me for two whole minutes. I realised he wasn't going to help so I decided to go back in and face the music. 10/14

My first thought was to pull out the Ethernet cable from the back of my PC. Obviously, it was too late for that; could I somehow shut down the office server? I was desperate for a way out but I knew I had nothing left. So I casually stood up and slowly walked out the office. 9/14

I mistakenly double-clicked this icon rather than replying to Bobby, and my email instantly went to everyone in the company (about 75 people). I immediately knew what I'd done and I can clearly remember the feeling of abject horror and the rush of blood from my head. 8/14

Because of my job, I often needed to bulk email everyone in my office, so I'd established a workaround: an icon on my email client that I could double-click to send any message I was working on to everyone in the company. No prizes now for guessing where this is heading. 7/14

However, back then, email was still relatively new. It was cumbersome, and even something as simple as sending a message to multiple email addresses was surprisingly hard. 6/14

I replied to Bobby's email: "Dear Bob, I'll have a go at Caspar when I see him later. I'm going to ask out Sarah today." And then I clicked 'send'. 5/14

In the meantime, I'd received an email from my friend Bobby about how he'd ended up in an excruciating predicament thanks to our mutual friend Caspar. That's a good story too, but it's not mine to tell. 4/14

One night, I met up with an ex. I explained the situation to her and she vehemently encouraged me to ask Sarah out THE VERY NEXT DAY. I promised I would. And so the next morning, I went to work, bolstered by this endorsement. After all, what's the worst that could happen? 3/14

I was working for a magazine company in London. I'd become very good friends with a colleague called Sarah; I thought there was more to it and I really wanted to ask her out. My close friends knew this and were always pushing me to do so but I was *terrified* of the potential rejection. 2/14

That was eight years ago.
