UK people wanting to watch David Lynch movies!
I'm trying to work out what is available where on streaming services.
I'll add to this as I figure out what you can watch where.

Now that's a top fact!
Watching Father Ted’s a Christmassy Ted and remembered this nugget of pop trivia, the priest with the most boring voice Father Fitzgerald (Sean Barrett) in Ireland's largest lingeree section was the cover star of The Smith's single "How Soon is Now" a still from the 1958 film "Dunkirk".

RIP Sir Tom Stoppard. At school we did The Real Inspector Hound, his spoof of whodunits. In the premiere my role was played by Richard Briers! It's not really a claim to fame, but it is in my head.
It's a great play. I'd like to see it again.
And never forget: Stoppard was an asylum seeker.

Anyone can be banned then. I've been mistaken for a man, a trans man and a trans woman before.
It's encumbent on all of us to make this as unworkable as possible.

SELF-PROMOTION POST. I “had some thoughts” on banning secondary sites selling tickets for profit in the UK. (Spoiler: it’s about time, but there are other parts of the ticketing business that could do with a recalibration.) For @thequietus.com thequietus.com/opinion-and-...
Why Labour's Proposals to Ban Ticket Touting don't go far Enough | The Quietus
Who will spare a thought for StubHub and Viagogo? They are two of the heavyweights of secondary ticketing, with the latter having bought the former in 2019 to gain an even bigger share of the market. ...

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Another person myself and mrs bogl were in the same school year as but cannot remember has just died and was a celebrated journalist.
I feel very odd.

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.
This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

The wealthy appear to be miserable and far-from-rounded people. No surprise I guess: so driven to succeed any real life force gets sucked out of them.
I regularly remind myself of this when failing once again to win the Lottery, largely because I never enter it.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.
