It’s amazing what you can learn from history books.
‘So what’s your dad’s nickname then?’
‘The conqueror, William the Conqueror’
‘And you’re his eldest son?’
‘Yeah. That’s right.’
‘And what’s your nickname?’
‘Shorty-Pants’

The new David Byrne album is really growing on me. Can’t argue with lyrics like this:

He was hanging by the pastries and the canapés
Just stuffing himself like there was no tomorrow
With a beatific smile all over his face”
