I went to a gig at the Thekla in Bristol last night. Before the show they kindly posted on FB what time each of the acts was going to be on stage. So much more civilised.

We live in that universe. They've just rebranded it as Fosters.

I always thought that 'comedic' refers to the craft of comedy (Buster Keaton's fine comedic skills) whilst 'comic' means 'being funny' (Keaton plays the character comically).

There's nothing stopping Vance from announcing tomorrow that Trump does not have capacity and taking over. I think they'll wait longer than than that, obviously, to make sure they've got the cabinet and Congress secured, but I'd give it a year max. Then they can really start building tech Gilead.

Musk can't be President. Not US-born.

Vance has useful powers under the 25th Amendment. And if you were a tech oligarch, wouldn't you prefer a tame puppet in the White House rather than an unpredictable narcissistic toddler?

The reason Leave won is because people voted for a variety of creatures in a poke. It wasn't like they were all expecting a pig - some people voted for a pig, others were promised a cute puppy in a poke. The puppy fans didn't want a pig, but the disparate accumulation pushed Leave over 50%.

Always dangerous to make jokes that just give the impression you're poorly informed and talking nonsense rather than being funny.

Shakespeare does that a lot, only usually with someone royal rather than a psychiatrist (Fortinbras in Hamlet, Malcolm in Macbeth, the Prince in Romeo & Juliet).

You have misunderstood the English. The Norman Conquest was 1200 years ago. Today we are not Anglo-Saxons aspirationally striving to sound like our Norman overlords. We are the product of interbreeding - part Celt, part Anglo-Saxon, part Norman, part Viking; just like our language, in fact.

There's a café in Bristol called Lonely Mouth after the Japanese.

I'd say it would work for most of the jackets in Derek's images. Depends how wide your lapels are, of course. But if it's wide enough for a buttonhole, it should work.

It just looks rongue

But the men in the last photo have no buttons done up. Surely that's not right? When you're standing, you button. When you sit, you unbutton.

You could sew a button onto an existing jacket where the buttonhole lands.

Some of just use the 'u' because we're British and that's how we spell 'behaviour'. No ulterior motive relating to conquerors or Americans.

Not enough comment on the weirdest bit of this quote: who the hell thinks sandwiches are 'breakfast food'? With the exception of bacon butties, normal people do not eat sandwiches at breakfast.

The only place I know where they eat sandwiches for breakfast is Holland. Odd for a keen Brexiteer to be advocating Continental practices.
