Ouch!

THREE people = SA has the worst Gen X of any nation?

All several million of us damned by three tech bros who went west and got weird?

Do magic markers really cost that much these days?

Monty is both good and wise.

I'd ask why, but then reasons are so last century.

Nice! Like I said, I'll have to wait and find out - saving it for my end of the year holiday.
I get why LA isn't for a lot of people. For me, it moves in a familiar way. That said I do love Seattle, Tokyo and San Fran. Never got to go to Boston or Philly. Chicago is lovely too!

Wish I was there.
Finally managed to get hold of The Last Yakuza in my neck of the woods. Saving it for my holiday in December!
I love LA. It reminds me a lot of my home town JHB; it's a sprawl that doesn't give up its best parts and secrets easily. You have to get to know it.

Then his holiness says, the franchise lost its way....

I think it's been over for quite some time. I think you can trace the beginning of its demise back to around 2014 when social media was used to nuke the middle ground from orbit.

That's it, though. I think the BBC can.
1) We made a mistake (mistakes happen).
2) We're investigating how this happened and making sure it never happens again.
3) No, we're not resigning.
4) Why don't you **** off?
November 11, 2025 at 9:34 AM
I can understand that. Totally. I just wish occasionally I could read a story where the missives from people trying to wreck things were just met with a curt "why don't you **** off?", which is straight out of the playbook of the people who are revelling in this.

Fair enough. Might be the same for the Head of News. So what then? Who steps in now?
November 11, 2025 at 7:46 AM
Watching this from the other side of the world - so if this is a dumb question, I apologise - why did the DG and Head of News resign? Why didn't they just apologise (we made a mistake - everyone makes mistakes) and then look into how this happened?
November 11, 2025 at 7:36 AM
I’m not sure. Pacing? A lot of what happens feels a bit like filler?

I agree with you about IWTV. It's gorgeously made but I struggle to get through the episodes. Am persevering because I want to give it a chance, but it's heavy going - even three episodes in.

Why cave so easily?

I really want to watch this. But it hasn't come down to my neck of the woods yet. How does it compare to Interview With The Vampire?
November 10, 2025 at 8:27 AM
Is this a thing? I mean is it really a thing?
