I’m going to win the Nobel prize for literature next year. And gonna have a pop at Chemistry too. If I can just get one I will be happy though.

There's so many amazing revelations in this book that I can't even remember if those revelations were in the version that I listened to. It's an explosive book. Shame that its first casuality will be someone who doesn't deserve it. I hope it will bring down a few that do.

It's worth listening to @herring1967.bsky.social interviewing Andrew Lownie last week about this book and the amount of lawyering that it needed before publication. www.rhlstp.co.uk/website.cgi?...

The reason Robert Jenrick didn’t see any ‘white faces’ in Birmingham is because he was looking at these grey tits

But how will I be able to get emergency questions in the style of Richard Herring otherwise?

Also, why does he look like someone who has been artifically aged with make-up for a student production?

I didn't say I wasn't agreeing with what he said. I don't agree with NICK.

No onononono!

We do agree with Nick, it *would* kill the AI industry and the sooner the better

Just got a hoax call about my crypto cash being blocked (oh no, oh wait I don't have any) but the AI voice knew my name (though it sounded slightly autotuned and wrong). Once they've got this perfected we are going to live in a scary world! Good luck everyone.

Entitled is a brilliant, funny, upsetting book that lifts lid on the wasteful, stupid members of the Royal family and the shady practices going on in business and on paedo islands. RHLSTP Book Club with author Andrew Lownie here shows.acast.com/rhlstp/episo...
