My Spanish is appalling so no. That's a lovely story. The 'ford over the fuck'...Fuckford. I think we're all, in a way, living in Fuckford so she was right.

My American born wife once sat with an OS map of Cumbria (in a Cumbrian pub) with a Norwegian friend of mine and they spent half an hour pissing themselves at the names. Cockermouth obv. [I know not a shibboleth but...] I just thanked god I didn't have a map of Orkney

There’s lot of Covid going around at the moment, again. I don’t qualify for NHS jabs, which are now very restricted, but I just paid £90 for one at my local pharmacy. As a freelancer, that’s a lot less expensive than having to take a week or two off if I get ill, let alone risking long term issues.

Good god. As a British American I was stunned that this year it cost me $0 thanks to NY Governor licensing it in the teeth of RFKjr idiocy. (it's cost $0 since Covid started...even Paxlovid, a retroviral, has been delivered to your home if needed by New York city largely free of cost)

There is nothing more stressful in my life than when 'men with real jobs' come to my house. Do you feel that? I just get flustered and try to make friends in a comically inept way so they won't screw me over. Then hide in another room.

I was half expecting the penultimate pic to be a souvenir shop and small cafe and the rest of them to have ‘please do not touch, visitors’ signs. Where does one relax in a house like this?

Courtesy of @thefence.bsky.social I discover that David Mellor has an absolutely incredible house and absolutely execrable taste. Apparently this is decorated in the manner of John Soane. Yeah. Sure.

The tory soul never 'relaxes'. It has to have constant chintzy empire tchotchkes fed to it or it starts...contemplating the emptiness...

Back when we were knocking around in London late 90's we had a boss who was Nathan Barley. Me and a fellow colleague walked into a Soho sneaker store, the kind with only white walls and 5 'curated' shoes. We both went 'Oh god we're in [redacted]'s soul. That house is the Tory soul.
