I don't mind so much the venting about Wotsit Hitler, it's the periodic "Ugh British food is so BAD" (mainly because they come to Europe and try to eat Mexican food); or "Why Don't you have AIR CONDITIONING?!"; or whatever the hell an Em-Dash is... Those are the ones that make me roll my eyes.

I was recently remembering the time you and your OH mentioned that you had the whole (real, actual, physical) box set, in its giant cigar-box packaging, and the stir that caused! "Columbo!!?"

Ah yes, getting to know the community by staying in, *checks notes* hotels, escaping western consumerism by, err, using giant tech platform, AirBnB and escaping the grind by shilling for internet clout via the social media grind.

Oh no! I'm expecting some to come along, as have finished the omeprazole the GP prescribed for me and when I went to renew the prescription it turns out to have been a one off (albeit 2 months).

I do occasionally ask people both irl and here how London is both a desolate crime ridden urban hellhole ruined by the foreigns and also sucking up all the money and where all the rich bastards live.

Israel’s actions over the last 20 months has changed all that, but we must join the dots. Marching against nukes wasn’t some virtue signalling ritual, but designed for exactly the moment we’re in, where a madman’s finger could be hovering over the button … (4/7)

Karla's Choice, by Nick Harkaway. Also "Il Romanzo di Londra" by Antonio Caprarica, which I bought to practise Italian, thinking it would be full of touristy factettes about London but is surprisingly informative and interesting so far (I'd never heard of the Berners Street Hoax, for example).

For remembering how many days in a month (MUCH easier than "Thirty days hath September something something something ember"), count the months out on your fists - the knuckles are the 31-dayers.
