There’s a glimmer of hope - I’ve watched some excellent 30 min 10ep series on streaming services, now they’ve realised they don’t have to follow the US 20+ episode series model. Surely the 6 episode classic can make a comeback?

I heard it happened the first year because there was a drama that was a sure thing for all the awards (can’t remember what) so they put The Bear in comedy to make sure it got the awards too. And then it had to stay there.

I just watched the episode with Natalie in labour and those scene with her mother. Unforgettable. Also, it REALLY reminded me of being in labour. That moment when a new contraction is starting and you just want to levitate out of your body rather than do another one.

Trevor of Trevor and Simon fame opened a cafe in Forest Hill where I used to live. Sometime in the mid 2010s I think. We all knew it was him and while the building was bring refurbished before the cafe opened someone spray painted ‘Do you do duvets?’ on the shutters.

I can’t read the article but just your comment and the headline is making me think uh-oh that’s me.

And as blokes we don’t need to take umbrage when people talk about “toxic masculinity”. Being a guy isn’t a problem: being the wrong sort of guy absolutely is and if that’s you then you need to address it. If it’s not you then you also need to address it rather than just saying “that’s not me”.

It’s massively efficient but it does feel rude when you zip up the outside lane. Where it’s not common practice, the problem is that people don’t let you in, so it doesn’t work.

I've been accused (by a journalist at the Financial Times) of taking this out of context. Here's the full quote:
“I’m afraid to say I think my son may have listened to you as an audiobook and I’d prefer him to read. Audiobooks, I think, make people a bit lazy.”
And the audio:

I only found out a few years ago. Thought I’d post it as a public service. The illustrators of the Ladybird Ladybird nursery rhyme very wisely chose not to go with verisimilitude. 🐞

Ah, okay. That’s not the data they’ll be trying to monetise through predictive software, though.

Not their background financial and sales data, surely? That wouldn’t have been on the website server, would it?

That £50K was really a token amount. May as well have been £1. It was quick and dirty and not about paying anybody what it was really worth.

They clearly think they have SOMETHING of value. I bet they still have all the historic data from the Unbound crowdfunding, for example. And whatever had already been cobbled together in the software project. All of that can be pivoted. Whether it’s successful is another matter.
