You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.

£10 for two huge fillets from Lough Neagh Fishermen's Co-op up in Toome, got four big portions from it. Baked two, fried two, same seasonings. Can't think I've had better fish.

A nice bit of dollaghan. Butter & crushed dill seeds.

This. Excellent thread, but these last two paragraphs.

Reckon much of it springs from 70s London-centric TV like The Sweeney and The Professionals, filled with faux-cockneys and cold war securocracy dreams in abandoned buildings, where the only tractors were plot devices during car chases.

Ron Burgundy playing jazz flute as London burns is now my mental image, and I wish it were not so.

Is there some way we can get him to fight JKR? Solve two problems at once?

You, sir, are a horse's ass. That's like saying Ommadawn isn't whatever it is because it also has On Horseback on it. Fie!

Treating any communication platform that algorithmically selects which content to put in front of a user as a publisher, and legally responsible for that content, is the screamingly obvious solution that will deeply upset maybe seven companies and make life considerably better.

Honestly, I'm holding out for the New Schmoo Cinematic Universe.

You won’t catch me living in a paltry 4-goat castle

Bokeem Woodbine. Legend.

For years I believed Tina G was a late night radio presenter and that my friends who listened to her were just cooler than me.

Oh good grief. My replying Vs quote-posting fails today 🤦

Related: in eastpondia, a sleeveless jumper is called a tank-top, while a pullover is just a jumper 'cos that's how you get into them. Other glorious naming conflicts: sweater-vests vs tanks, sleeveless Ts vs muscle shirts, tank-tops Vs vests.

Klingons: prefer Testament to Metallica but think Morbid Angel and Death were the real metal, are prepared to fight about it.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

Given the first recorded trainspotter in 1861 was a girl called Fanny Johnson, we shouldn't be surprised many sprectral trainspotters reported at stations and alongside tracks, are female. Mislabelling as something other than trainspotters due to gender is a crime against ghosts. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Could it be improved by replacing Chalomet with Statham?
