If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

My father died this week. Going through his possessions it was so easy to see the things I got from him that have made me the person I am. I'm going to miss him very much.

Britain is so far away from being a republic that should a King Ralph style tragedy occur they would just let Edward ascend to the throne and totally rewrite his narrative. You either have a hereditary monarchy or you don't and frankly they're not ready to be without that particular comfort blanket.

I absolutely love horror and weird fiction. Unfortunately I've suffered from nyctophobia and nightmares my whole life. The upshot of this is reading an M.R. James story is like eating ice cream with lactose intolerance: Sometimes you just know you're going to pay for it and carry on regardless.

I have been a fan of musical comedy all my life: Tim Minchin, Tripod, Tom Cardy, Garfunkel & Oates, Eric Idle, even George Formby and Noel Coward.
Despite this I have never seen Flight of the Conchords.
After the lads recommendation with help from @thewatersoflove.bsky.social I shall do immediately!

In this special bonus episode, we look at New Zealand’s “fourth most popular comedy-folk duo” and their award-winning HBO show, which centres on Bret and Jemaine’s spectacular failure to take New York by storm.

In some added Turmoil this week I've been notified that the show has earned its first copyright strike!
I suggest listening to the unexpurgated episode ASAP in case they don't accept my response and I'm forced to remove and edit it.
Tell your friends.

There are some people in life who behave like a fairground skill tester.
The old electric wire and loop jobs.
They're calm and reasonable so long as you move the way they do, keeping your distance and aware of your place, but slip and touch the side and suddenly it's BZZZT!

Ahead of tomorrow's episode I thought I'd share the cover and let you know that it deals with some pretty heavy themes.
Some of the most personal and revealing interviews I've ever done and in my opinion totally unmissable audio.
