Sorry. End of rant.

It's the advisors for Gladiator 2 that I feel sorrier for, though. Coz ... Jesus. Meanwhile, The Odyssey? It's a fantasy. So long as it's fun, let it roll.

Can relate, am easy, even coming from a classics lecturer father... BUT ...Ridley Scott's sneering at actual Roman historians: "Were you there? No? Then shut the fuck up." He hired a family friend once, classical academic, to advise on Gladiator -- and outright ignored her. Honestly, fuck him.

Fuck Travelodge (and its corporate team in particular) into the sun.

"It has now refunded you the £179 cost of the booking and added £200 in compensation – but only because you went to the press." Travelodge will only do the right thing when the press (*) get involved. Because they're shits. (*) Anna Tims, now a personal hero of mine.

Having had my own run-in with Travelodge (*), I can totally and sympathetically relate. Never using those hateful bastards again. (*) Turfed out in the middle of the night because staff couldn't switch their fire-alarm off, and then refused a refund without explanation (until The Guardian helped).

(Seriously though, am amazed you have to spell that out.)

"DAMN IT I WANT THEM TO BE FACT"

Whoosh

Just for those two posts alone, I am really starting to like Musk’s daughter Viv.

Weird. Just weird. Found out a while back that I was on another one of those "Otto English Supporters" subscription lists for auto-blocking. Didn't know you were so "controversial".

I've seen a snapshot of some of the comments below the article, and... ...there are a LOT of anti-climate trolls in action. All robotically churning out the standard 10-20yo tropes, of course.

OK. Will reign-in my hair-trigger sense of abandonment.

Took their fucking time getting here, didn't they...

Think you should. Even if it's just for the nightclub episode and the "invisible" car.

whoosh

don’t tell her, anyone

I’m trying to imagine the man who clearly wrote this with all his little chest and, well, I’m struggling. Because, FFS.
