Enjoyable and fascinating @davidolusoga.bsky.social talk on guns this afternoon. Almost whooped when a Commando comic appeared, big part of my childhood.
Also reminded me Field Marshal Haig was born in Edinburgh - Charlotte Square, 10 mins from venue.

Love this framing of York’s existence. Weird the York Tourist Board didn’t think of this.
York, a city between London and Edinburgh, is home to a thriving Christmas market where you can buy handmade goods, German sausages, mulled wine, and more.

Petition for cinemas to show TV episodes. I have time to kill. I could happily pop into Vue for a couple of sitcom episodes, or a rewatch of some prestige TV. But I *don't* have two hours or more, nor am I in the mood to drop cash on something which might disappoint.
