Which is fine - it simply reveals that the biographer is also a human, allowed to either like or dislike the subject

Reading the two was interesting because it showed how subjective any niography really is. Morley may have claimed he was trying to counter Niven's air of bonhomie, but he was ruthlessly dispassionate, while he showed no such interest in puncturing the Bright Young Things aura of his godfather

But on the upside, St Totteringham's Day would be Day 1 of the season 😆

Coward - whom Morley clearly adored 🙂

I bought my copy today. I was interested in this from the blurb

"In this affectionate portrait, Sheridan Morley traces Hepburn’s journey"

If true, it would the second of three Morley bios I've read that could be so described. Imo, the Niven bio was not only unaffectionate but also unsympathetic

If Spuds are relegated AND #ArsenalFC win the League, does Vinai Venkatesham get a lifetime achievement award for the most successful agent provocateur EVAH?🤔😆

As Vizzini reminded us, everyone knows Australia is entirely peopled with criminals - including who ever it was that bribed and/or blackmailed the Canadian PM to give AUS the credit for being the first to grant female suffrage. Bad enough they stole the pav, Phar Lap and the flat white, eh?! 🤦‍♂️🙄

Happy St Totteringham's day to all who celebrate it! (The earliest ever!) #COYG #Arsenal #THFC #PremierLeague #FPL

Let's hope enough people buy it to get you to Paris when it sizzles, or at the very least a Roamin' Holiday.

@thestorygraph.com minutes after securing my prized "Early Bird" tag for another year, I got to wondering - how many of us are left?

I could've gone with Nelly Furtado, but she came to mind second. This one popped in first, straight away

I was in my mid-teens when friends pointed out that since the Earth is suspended only by gravity, which way is "up" is entirely arbitrary and subjective. Interestingly, in Māori the most common words for "up" and "down" also mean South and North, respectively

As Karen Carpenter famously sung/sang/singed "I'm on the top of the world" aka AotearoaNZ 🙂

Enjoy your dinner. In 25 minutes it will be Saturday and I can go home after spending 16 of Friday's 24 hours working.

The building is noteworthy too - an exact replica of one in some British stately home. The National Trust supplied the architectural plans for the copy

The staff were really surprised at the pic - it seems that like the Scarlet Pimpernel, he's demned elusive 🤣

Day 27: A song from 1995

A lean year for me, so back to this rab ne bana di jodi

The Orangerie at Hamilton gardens here in Aotearoa. Apparently he roams at will, but seldom lets himself be captured in a photo 😀

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Sadly, that movie traumatised me - SRK's 8-pack definitely gave me dard-e-disco

I could not just reply for some reason. One week means one thing, will try to come up with my NR 1 thing on all 2 main islands

Absolutely, especially since it seems that he is also a thoroughly decent human being. NOT something that's a given in K-Ent males, sadly

NZE is my L1, the influence of the LARGE number of Irish settlers here is often overlooked in discussions of the variant.

Not long after I first aw him in the EXCELLENT #CityHall, he appeared in a cooking-themed reality show which earned him the nick name "Chajumma" - that's how I've known him ever since - a great actor, drop dead gorgeous and not afraid to mix it up with his roles. THANK YOU for that droolworthy pic!

Meanwhile, we've just started noticing the leaves turning colour and falling 😢

Absolutely. He just stayed on at least 4 years too long. Keeping Arsenal in CL for 20 consecutive seasons on basically zero money was astonishing. Had he left at the right time, his legacy would have been untainted
