I read the first book (from the library) it's actively and perniciously terrible, it's an affront to good comic books.

It's a John Frankenheimer film that features a sports car in the opening scenes, we might get to see an example of "Chekov's Porsche 356"

Oh and of course as usual with prominent folk who receive online push back Omid dismisses anyone disagreeing with him as a keyboard warrior. Because when thousands of people like his posts it's not "a mob " but when a few do...

I wonder if Omid would have played Sun City ? And no one who performed there didn't do it for the money as there're plenty of free "networking" opportunities in other contentious locales that they could seek out... As has been said many times before "cheap holidays in other people's misery"

Matthew Syed, who recently wrote a long read about why he just joined the Conservatives, objected to his BBC introduction including this fact: "Yes, I just joined the Conservatives, but I still see myself, first and foremost, as an objective journalist, if I may say so."

Phew! Glad that's settled.

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

Watching #gardenersworld & an entomologist has just said the phrase "I was so chuffed when the orchids appeared". Which was pleasing because you know orchids growing in a car park👌🏻, but also "chuffed" is just the perfect amount of repressed joy entirely appropriate for the appearance of wild beauty

Well that was very good , without getting too inside baseball, I always think Partridge works best when he's entirely in Partridge World , he can mention celebs etc but I didn't think it works when he meets them.

Wonderful Edwyn Collins Gig at the Epic Studio last night. Perfect end to his touring career. Ironically the encore version of "Low Expectations" was heartbreaking. We love you EC
