I think that was half the reason they didn't do it. There's so much detail in the books that is essential but as you say just wouldn't make good tv.

That's what I thought. I'm a huge Asimov fan and try really hard not to be a gatekeeper. I loved it. I thought the idea of Empire was brilliant.

We'd be delighted to have you as an honorary Ian. I will petition The Council of Ians to get the paperwork underway as soon as possible.

Still makes me sad that this poor girl was exploited from start to finish and we all turned a blind eye because we just wanted the nice wee girl to keep singing to us.

Well, that game didn't do my heart any good at all. Time to crack on.

We've got a live one, desperate attempts at engagement (memes and the like) and no-one's biting. And a bunch of replies where they never follow up.
Botfarm I reckon.

If Jarrod Bowen kissess that badge any more, it'll be pressing charges for sexual harassment.

I think you're right, I don't see why I should root for one human being/group of humans simply because of some arbitrary border.
Nor do I give a toss about golf.
But given the number of yanks that are very upset about this & the team's dig at Trump, I'm willing to make an exception.

It's one of the biggest disappointments of my life that Richard Dawkins is such entitled arsehole.

This Morning have a phone in about ininviting people to events, on the back of the king uninviting andrew and sarah ferguson to a peasant hunt or something.
"Hi Cat and Ben. I've just found out my brother & his wife were best friends with a notorious sex trafficker, what do I do about Christmas?"

Nice to see the kid getting a break.

My favourite Trump stories are more often than not golfing Trump stories. "Pele" indeed.

Romesh Ranganathan's career at the moment appears to revolve around not wanting to pay for a holiday.

Really sad news, he was from just down the road from me. Played on so many things that I loved.

Indivisible is a very good shout.

We may be circling the wagons a bit at the moment but please please remember we won't turn our backs on you. We won't, we know who the resistance is and we have your back. We should've kept him in the Tower of London for a while when he was here, just to give you a break.

Exactly that my friend, late stage capitalism collapse, you're absolutely right. We see it, we empathise because it's happened to most of us in Europe, sometimes more than once.
But please remember we know the difference between normal America and MAGA & we won't turn our backs on you.

Hold onto that anger, it's good but don't focus it on Europe. Congress is not going to help you atm, maybe next year...maybe but it might be too late by then. Remember, we've seen this and we know you are well past the point of waiting for your elected officials to do something.

We see you Erika, we know what you're facing and we don't blame you. We saw the No Kings protests and we know the difference between normal Americans and MAGA.
But please understand that we've seen where this is going first hand & right now, you're a lot further down the line than you may realise.

So the appeasement visit during the week worked then. Quelle surprise.
