Hey that ‘hosted’ was an auto-suggestion I ignored ffs

Yessss

Sermons & Soda Water: A Byron Thriller by Lee Child hosted

Ok Child’s imaginary Byron novels might be hazy on early 19thC history but GREAT on him boxing with wrong uns!

Never mind if my 20 year old self is impressed or disappointed by me now - I’m disappointed in HIM - he should live with people he actually likes! And work harder at university! And think about getting a summer job! Come on, guy!!

Ah, I think the best Reachers have a sense of small town America, especially its diners, motels, and weird little museums!

ALSO, I would LOVE Lee Child to write a Romantic Era thriller - Byron Said Too Much - in which Byron brawls across Europe righting wrongs and wooing men and women and writing poems

I would LOVE to go to this! (But won’t be able to 😢 BUT maybe *YOU* could get there!?) An Evening with Lee Child hosted by Wordsworth Grasmere at Tge Daffodil Hotel, Wednesday 28th October, doors open at 7 for 7.30 start

My run over recovery film watch continues with a rewatch of School of Rock - this time, I noticed how much of an asshole Dewey Finn is at the start of the film which had been obfuscated in earlier viewings by Jack Black’s huge charisma - still, a delight! A classic get the band together film 🖤

Not me bouncing in my chair that (a) this cat exists, and (b) the scientists who described it for the first time in scientific literature kept its local name.

University departments that are doing away with research-led teaching and getting their academic staff to teach on broad, non-specialist modules instead are effectively deskilling their workforce.

I think Patrick and particularly Esme preferred Anna’s style in general and could use Beth uncharacteristically messing up her bow tie as a rationale for ignoring the fact she’d clearly made the better dress by the end of the show!

Justice for Beth!!!

The Do-Over is Groundhog Day meets Ferris Bueller’s Day Off set on the main character’s worst Valentine’s Day ever - can she escape the nightmare by switching from a passive people pleaser to every parent’s nightmare teenager!?

Coming soon...
