And the way they still talk about ‘moderates’ in the LNP, you can’t be moderate and a member of the LNP.

Narimasu on the Tojo-sen was changed to Narimos for the year (2022) to recognise 50 years of Mos Burger…the first shop was established at Narimasu. There are two shops still there, one each at the north and south exits.

Each day I am increasingly puzzled by the extent to which people enable this man. If he were head of any other country there would have been intervention of one form or another.

(Bookish me was horrified you would tear out a page of a book; young politics student me was aghast you could do that to Gough.)

My other Gough anecdote: my father gave me a large book on SE Asia that he found in a car (he was a used car dealer), I was the bookish one. Years later I saw another copy in a library, only to learn my father had torn out the frontispiece photo of Gough in my copy. Why? I asked…he despised Gough.

Agree, it is a great series. I was surprised to learn there are so many covers of Reckless.

Yes, I’ve noticed that on the on-demand app—an then the disclaimer that it’s bad for you ‘and here’s a helpline’. 🤷🏼‍♀️

あ、推し…今度12月10日〜に東京に行く予定です。ブルースカイで出会ってきっかけにその時お店にお邪魔させていただければ、嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします。

Thanks, I’ll look it up. I came to Finnish through music (Sibelius to start, but much more), then some work trips but then covid… hoping to go again soon and aim to get up to very basic daily conversational words. Not really necessary when everyone’s English is so good, but I’d like to try. 🤭

Icebreaker just went to the top of my list.

Takes me back to the olden days when I was first learning Japanese—the nightly weather report was the first thing I felt confident listening to because it was quite repetitive.
One must persist.
