Similar thing with any creative process (I’m a hobbyist songwriter). Wrestling the thing into some kind of shape is as/more important than the final output.

Better Call Saul without any shadow of a doubt….

And that’s a bad thing? Who knew….

Exactly - binned my membership card and submitted my resignation this morning. Just vile….

You can scrub the “Near” bit….

This might help (from a post about Farage):-

Remember to get the order of adjectives in English correct. It's Opinion, Size, Quality, Shape, Age, Colour, Origin, Material, Type, Purpose, Expletive.

As in disgusting little fat frog-faced old snot-coloured rancid treacherous fascist fucking shitbag

I can’t tell you how much the “legitimate concerns” thing gets my dander up. They may be concerns but they are utterly and undeniably racist concerns, ergo they are anything but “legitimate”…

I was also taken the insult “ten groat pettifoggers” (which may well be the name of a steampunk/psychobilly crossover band - we’ll have two more from them later!). I am now looking for opportunities to shoehorn it into every conversation.

These people who are telling you that you aren’t doing well - are they in the room with us now, Donny?

Says the man whose first language is racist…..

Can I be a very old git and say Misty In Roots and Squeeze at the much-missed Albany Empire in Deptford in the mid 70s (and I’m pretty sure Cafe Racer - later to be renamed as Dire Straits - appeared there a few times as well!).

It is true that, by definition, murder is “assisted dying”, but, by the same measure, not all assisted dying is murder…

This is one of those “a dog is an animal, so am I, therefore I am a dog” arguments.

Firmly believe that you shouldn’t go chasing music - it’ll find you when you’re good and ready to receive it (for me, two examples are Tom Waits who I didn’t get until I was 45 years old and ditto modern jazz which took until I was 67).

That’s a tune…!

You can prom down a promenade (as many a music hall song will tell you), but I don’t think you can espl down an esplanade…
