One of history's greatest tragedies incidentally. Perfect film

As a 25-year-old I think the boomer catalogue music 25-year-olds know (Dylan or the Kinks or whatnot) will stay totally fine because it's just so good even detached from specific narratives. like people are not still rocking out to Herman's Hermits etc etc

"Catalogue music" has sort of returned to its place from history after the strange 1960-2000 interlude, that's my new hot take. Haydn got his leeway

I think the answer may be in Bermondsey - which has some 17th/18th century churches and houses - but I've sort of reached the limit of what i can figure out without going there in person bc the key question is now how far down Tower Bridge Road can you see the Tower of London

If it helps on that one I'm not having anything pre-White Tower, they're not *buildings* anymore (and indeed a wall never was really, although it is cool)

This is the obvious answer but I can't think of anything 15th/16th/17th century in the area? (Iirc the royal mint is 18c)

Yeah that's the question isn't it. I think I'm demanding it be substantially intact as a distinctive part of the structure. So Westminster Hall is 11th century but, like, the Bloomberg building isn't Roman

totally serious conclave drama which has cardinals trying to use the most flowery and euphemistic language possible so you only realise at the very end they're talking about Romano farts

cardinal romano won't stop farting is a better sketch than all but one or two snl things I think?

Anna Dixon is someone you really think you went to school with but can't quite place. Conversely, Lee Barron is a geography teacher

I don't really understand how England keep doing this in the fourth innings after not really seeming to care in the second icl

my office is on SJP and it's a perfect 20 mins lunch time loop if you use the blue bridge. unless, of course, everyone on the bridge has never encountered the concept of a bridge before. but im sure that won't happen!

As a regular user of that bridge the pedestrian flow is pretty shocking without putting statues in the way lmao

especially given international sport in particular is so universally lowest-common-denominator stuff (Sky football isn't perfect but 100x any England coverage lol). aggressive fair-mindedness of Sky comms is a wonder
