And it isn’t just 2000ad! Rebellion has done a great job of acquiring the rights to a range of out of print British comics.

Sir is not a royal title, but it definitely does tie into the system of patronage and class that permeates British life. It’s kind of like the US tradition of referring to former politicians by the title of their most important job, even though they no longer hold that job.

Apparently there was a some folk (ok, one member of the audience in the channel 4 election coverage studio) who was going to vote labour, but felt comfortable voting reform when they thought Labour were going to win.

There is a brilliant documentary on Turkmenistan made by the Art Critic Waldemar Januszczak where he and his mates pretended to be on a stag weekend to get into the country.

Dear podcast producers: if you have original art commissioned for your episode thumbnails, please credit/tag the artist in your social media posts. It's a small thing, but it could do a lot to give that artist more business, or even a few more followers at the very least.

@jessnevins.bsky.social also - I realise there are so many things you want to do, but if you are at a loose end in the evening, head to the Albert Hall and get a ticket for that evening’s prom concert (a promenade concert): The basic price is £8 and whatever is playing that night will be brilliant.

Yes, but it would be useful. Or maybe I am conflating utility with something I would find pleasing.

Make sure you hit the beautifully tiled tea room for a snack. Also pop over the street to look at the wonderful architecture of the natural history museum. See all the creatures worked into the stonework. Also the geology department of the natural history museum feels wonderfully Victorian.

Only not, because there are not three unknowns from which to chose at random, with one of the rejected choices subsequently being removed for a second round of choosing. Sorry to be humorless, but I really don’t think the analogy works.
