I got to the bit where the American guy started describing 1970s British light entertainment as some sort of fever dream, and that's when I realised what the disconnect was.
Morecambe & Wise flopped in the States because nobody got them. Meanwhile men with pretend birds were peak humour here.

If I was 16 again and I had patents that acted like these two, I'd be deeply relieved not to be trapped in an unending vacation where I was expected to perform like a dancing monkey. I expect elder daughter may have told them to get stuffed?

Those people also think the Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat, so...

Oh my god, I watched part of it on Sky Arts for the first time ever and it was so completely tedious.

I'm pretty sure Robin also gave up being on Radio panel shows some considerable time ago?

He tells a story about how he couldn't say something so she wrote that phrase into every subsequent book. What a funny joke.

If you don't like London, don't go there. Problem solved - plus it's nicer for everyone else without you.

I was very bad at the recognising people bit, but the photos were excellent.

Constant reinvention? Pokemon has been going for ages but kids still like it because they're not watching weird racist old episodes about landlines? 😕

H & T? If you know them (I don't think you do?), you'll probably have seen photos on FB by now?

Something about a guy who got a head injury and it switched the override off and he just sneezed continually for years? I'm looking for it now.

Left home at 8. 22 degrees (reasonable). Arrived in London at 11.30. 29 degrees (no).

I did read a thing on here that sneezing is a default setting and there's a bit of our brains that works to override it?

I have two digital thermometers within 2 metres of each other and they are always at least a full degree different because one catches the breeze and the other doesn't.

(Yes, I have passed the age barrier where it's mandatory to buy a thermometer to tut at.)

It's such an interesting project. I'm talking to some really amazing organisations about how they decide to do what they do.

Presumably you're guffawing because you don't know that we all live in insulated boxes with no air con - and not breezy, tiled villas? When it's 32 outside, it's easily over 40 inside, and humid af.

Thank you! It's a work in progress but I've already been asked if I would be up for sharing best practice regionally once it's complete.

There are probably other people like you keeping their accounts because they think they might lose touch with you. If you've not done it already, use SkyBridge to find those people on here and then delete your twitter.

I think it says push the hooky bits over the bar, clip the clippy bit onto the frame, and then use a screwdriver to get the catch the bottom to line up?
