Older I get the more I understand what Livia was feeling when she looked like this
Last night sat near to a man of mature years, who said ‘is Martini ‘your way’ actually true? Then I’ll have seven parts gin to one part Vermouth with orange bitters & an orange twist!’
much enjoying The Agency: S2 but the script sounds like this. ‘Smoke this guy out. And I mean fire up the barbecue, turn him into brisket. I want him served in buns.’ ‘But sir he’s up a tree - and he’s built a whole tree house up there’ ‘Did I just hear you complain or do I need my ears syringed’
Kemi has now had more positions on this war than Prince in a one night stand
The papers keep confusing ‘rich people who don’t self identify as rich’ with ‘people of minimal resources who are being dealt unbearable & unjust taxation blows in this communist nightmare’
Restaurant news: snouts are having a moment. I’m a carnivore but this stuff makes me feel like the Cleveland Torso Murderer
Carte D’Or rum n raisin is the most ‘car keys in a bowl’ retro dessert. That or rum baba with glacé cherry

Definitely suspicious when an Air BnB property has too many photos of pink cava & 2 goblets on a television tray to bulk the album. Also do not recommend ‘view of house from POV of lurker smoking cigarettes while plotting.’ This is the artwork on the back of a Lisa Jewell thriller
Sometimes I think I could go vegetarian & then I see a £20 main of carrots baked in salt for Sunday lunch
Definitely. Also done well here where they just drop you into the world & set off fast
Watching the last Mission Impossible & latest Superman and think cleverly done exposition may be a dying art. Whole scenes of half a dozen characters just explaining the plot to each other, brazen as you like
This felt like poor marketing as I immediately suspected it’s mainly potatoes
Imagine being clever enough to write Death of a Salesman but stupid enough to fumble it with Marilyn Monroe. #men
This Mail comment reminds me of Alan Partridge saying every Labour voter should be charged with treason
God this was bad. I don’t know what it is about my dogged determination to watch shite that keeps tripping me up
