Plus one French agency has already decided that I have the same surname as my kid (no thanks), and want me to provide proof that I changed it when it’s always been the same.

Trying to assemble info about employment in Ireland for retirement info (not yet but it’s all complicated so needs to be done in advance) and I realised that the tax office and all my payslips have a misspelling of my first name.
Oh the French are going to love this.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

The official slogan of the ‘No Kings’ protests is “I have friends everywhere” from Andor and I may just be a simple God but that is fucking badass.

If you watch The Windsors, you see that this was all about having Fergie lose *her* title.

Over one summer my friend Ben, who was working as a part-time lifeguard, pulled SEVENTEEN people out of the waters off a Cornish beach when they got into difficulties and that was long before ChatGPT was a thing, so I guess people are going to die.

In France we can now get a lot of the same junk food. Except for Goldfish, haven’t seen that here yet. There are Reese’s here now, I’ve even seen them in a tabac.

Rivetingly tense! Female characters to the fore! Best drama on the BBC! I wrote about why #BlueLights third series is its strongest yet - and how it's building into a Belfast version of The Wire www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
‘The best cop show’: Blue Lights just gets better with every single episode
This rivetingly tense Bafta-winning drama crackles with raw energy. Its third series is its finest yet – and is rapidly becoming one of the greatest TV series in existence

5/ But here's the even darker kicker.

The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess.

And why?

Many thanks to the gorgeous group who showed up for the lunchtime session - including from Brisbane. So many good ideas.

You have all given me enough material and ideas for three or four seasons - at least! Now, to mull.

Thank you for embracing this project. Love you all very much.

Alex x ❤️

Last chance for Ko-Fi supporters to chat on zoom today over a sandwich, from 1pm for 40 minutes, to get an exclusive preview of Season 2, and contribute ideas for topics.

If you haven't received the email invite and you think you should have, give me a nudge. Hope to see many of you there! A x
