Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.

And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.

Musk is everything he hated.

He attacked everything in life with a mixture of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

It seems pointless to fact check someone saying "curry isn't proper British food like fish and chips", just like it's futile to correct someone saying "there are no pronouns in the Bible". They haven't made a mistake. What they're saying is, "Britain is a white country".

You need to look at where they were. The polls are showing the Libs doing well in places like Surrey (affluent, moderate Conservative, anti-Brexit London commuter belt). Only the Preston did look out of line with what the polls say and may have been influenced by local factors.

If they're being excluded because of a characteristic, as in this case religion, the government should definitely care.

When I was a kid, the middle aged fans hated McCoy. Younger ones loved him. 35 years later, the kids are middle aged and his era is seen as classic.

After watching the final Gatwa ep in my local cinema with 300 people who are way younger than, I realise history will repeat.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

There used to be a whole TV series about proving when words were first used to a group of dictionary experts. I think Victoria Coren presented it. Phwoar.

Old Mother in Unearthly Child. She needed to play pre-historic.

I have this nagging feeling she was once on the list for a part in Doctor Who...
