Always sounds like a 'discovery' is the collective noun for witches.

An Ian after my own heart. Good for Ian.

Is that guy climbing the 'wall' to get in or get out of the US?

Didn't like this album when it was released but was happy the band was back. So lived with it for years as a document of a moment in time but no more than that. But then they released the remix and all of a sudden it all made sense. Since then, it's been a favourite. Great album.

Y'know what, I rather like the Latvian national anthem.

I think Tom Stoppard was a little bit in love with both Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

I think he knows that he can't outrun Epstein etc forever. I think this is damage control for the evengelical right. And he can then repackage himself as a sinner seeking redemption after the shit hits the fan.

I hope so but I'm not really that optimistic. Neither the Trump administration, the Netanyahu administration or Hamas have a brilliant track record in keeping to deals they have agreed to.

I like the way he tries to phrase this like the confusion was caused by someone else.

Just as, if not more, relevent now as it was then.

The Grammys haven't even called me. I mean I sent them a tape and everything.

To quote Bill from, I think, the second season of The Apprentice:
"Never underestimate the other team's ability to fuck it up worse than you"

When is Jesse just going to come out and be done with it?

Will be thinking of you mate.

Think I got away with that.

I know, I know but I realised that Larry & indeed Paul are so intrinsic to comedy that it hardly seemed worth mentioning. I mean who doesn't know Larry & Paul? But I thought this time, why not, what harm can it do?

I think that was half the reason they didn't do it. There's so much detail in the books that is essential but as you say just wouldn't make good tv.

That's what I thought. I'm a huge Asimov fan and try really hard not to be a gatekeeper. I loved it. I thought the idea of Empire was brilliant.

We'd be delighted to have you as an honorary Ian. I will petition The Council of Ians to get the paperwork underway as soon as possible.

Still makes me sad that this poor girl was exploited from start to finish and we all turned a blind eye because we just wanted the nice wee girl to keep singing to us.
