Huzz-fucking-za

Loved this - cheered me right up as I sit between lessons wondering why I got out of bed.

I enjoyed it - there was a lot that was fun in there - an often overlooked quality. Also some really smart stuff about the way fascism can grow. Total command of the noir tropes knowingly deployed plus tongue in cheek silliness. Glad I read it.

Was a gift for me to show my class as we explore gothic tropes - they, of course, didn’t know who the ‘weirdo with white hair’ was.

I love that! I might actually set that for my Y7s as a task. Thank you.

2/2 VED is a tax on vehicles, with rates based on factors like CO2 emissions, and the money collected goes into the general government treasury, not directly to road maintenance.

As a cyclist I have to point this out to drivers all the time.

Ahh the "road tax myth": the incorrect belief that "road tax" is a direct payment for using roads, in reality, the tax was abolished in 1937 and replaced by Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). 1/2

I’ve chipped something into the pot. Let’s hope others do too. It’s a great prize, named in honour of a great book. I first heard of him via @backlisted.bsky.social and ordered a copy immediately after I finished the episode

Ordered. Looking forward to its arrival.

You let Nouns in and before you know it you’re knee deep in adverbs.
