I mean the whole framing of the story is a bit strange. Talking about "Henry's" feeling hard done by. But there aren't any direct quotes or even any hints he has spoken to any to arrive at this conclusion.

I think the main point about the £100k+ plus tax system where you can pay effective marginal rates above 100% once childcare is factored in is not that it creates hardship or unfairness but that it's just completely dumb.
Huh.. I liked that film but your comments make me wonder if I would on a rewatch now. I think at the time the style of film making felt fresh. Same for Pushing Tin and Grosse Pointe Blank. Die My Love could be an answer to this!

I got gently ribbed by a train guard once for reading the FT. Commiserating with me for the difficulty of turning the pages in a tight space. Fairly sure he was taking the piss 😁

I don't actually remember the end of The Good Place. But I will say the final ep of the 1st season had my jaw drop. Because, sitcoms aren't supposed to have twists like that.

Is 'Singin in the Rain' both metaphorical and literal? I kind of think of it that way because of the film, but... And what does 'about' mean? Rain features very strongly in that song, with the onomatopoeia right from the start.
I think you could say it's about rain amongst other things.
