I think Barney Ronay was good on this. Yes it’s theatrical. They are on tv. They are performing. He was attracting the eye of the tv director, this is entirely normal behavior

If the lad hadn’t gone down, there wouldn’t have been a check.

So, he wants a bigger bribe for the HBO deal

It’s so cringe I can’t bear how sad it is. Just epically generationally embarrassing

Think you’re right about the “gotcha” bit though. It’s like Trump doing crimes in secret or crimes in the open, only one gets the press excited.

Anyone else want to take points off Sheffield Wednesday? Since we’re now on minus eleventy-stupid we should start admitting to other clubs charges; maybe if we take a couple off Man City, their (clearly v effective) lawyers will comp us a couple of proto-Fodens for the trudge back from League One.

I love this film, down to its (really quite bizarre in retrospect) Jean-Michel Jarre soundtrack

"strain on services" is just bullshit for "I'd prefer to think I wasn't racist" surely

If you'll forgive the Devil's advocate, is net migration falling a bit like inflation falling? If it were the thing that motivated you, the rate of increase falling on a plot isn't something that is going to necessarily make you feel better.

Literally no idea what he was doing raising his hand.

Well there's no understanding "cat" either, it's just a Chinese Room with symbols exchanged for symbols, and the cognition is solely the preserve of the observer, not the processor.

Didn't Nixon resign because he was told he'd lost the support in Congress to avoid being impeached successfully. The issue with Trump is that he maintains his support, and each revelation seems to have a speech bubble "surely this is enough?" and yet

Look, I'd take it
