That was precisely me at a middle-aged stag do in Machester last weekend (slightly less sunny). Finished the book on the train home. It's absolutely fantastic, I shall be recommending to my students. Thanks for the entertainment, and (even better) the insights 👏

In my opinion one of the very best contributions to humanity. Still sounds as good and reads as well.

Extremely niche joke but what is Mr T's favourite historical reenactment attraction park in France?

Puy du fou

Congratulations, I've got this on my birthday wish list and look forward.
Thanks for reacquainting me with the brilliance of Cousin Vinny too

Cigarette and Cocktail by @ronsexsmith.bsky.social is our song of the summer. A beautiful, nostalgic treat that's been in our ears as we've driven round western France. Looking forward to the album immensely

I'm in France trying to talk to my French in law's about Day 5 of the test match and it's almost as if they don't care :(

Watched the original The Jungle Book with the kids yesterday. The King Louis scene is utterly perfect. Baloo and Louis having a dance off in his coconuts, Bagera trying to hold it together, the little aide interfering with the beat, all set to the complexity of the bigger story. Joy

Cracking recommendation. I had no idea, and am only half an hour away. It was brilliant 👏

Ah, 23 degrees and sunny with the chance of overnight rain for the garden. If that got any more civilised, I'd be a pair of red chinos away from joining Readers' Digest.

My friend's watch starts every day by telling him he "only got [insert small number] minutes of REM sleep last night".

Valentines day 1996. I've got Air's Moon Safari on CD on repeat. Chicken breast and Uncle Ben's on the hob. Parents are upstairs, promised not to come down unless they need a wee. There's a cheesecake in the fridge. I'm wearing my Sheffield Wednesday kit, Levi's and Davidoff Cool Water. Smoochtown.

I'm on a long train to Cornwall looking out on blue skies and listening to Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth adaptation and holy shit this was a good idea.
