Don’t bother. The thing that happens is simultaneously insane and totally disappointing. I preferred the early part of the book, so if you didn’t like that, it’s hopeless

Flock of Sheep in a courtyard by a poster. The central poster features a hand pointing forward, reminiscent of propaganda styles, with text reading "LA MAJORITE C'EST VOUS" (The Majority is You).
Goodnight.
La majorité, c'est vous" (The Majority is You)
René Maltête, 1960
The good old days! My personal favourite episodes are at the end of season six so it’s worth hanging on until then at least, though the [SPOILER REDACTED] storyline in season five might push you past endurance (you’ll know it when you see it.) I watched sixteen seasons of Greys during lockdown!
A drawing of a perfect phone that only has three buttons on it, one of them says IS HE DEAD one of them says AM I BROKE and the other one says RELAXING PUZZLE GAME
I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning
Definitely think it’s at the “is technically possible” end of the scale rather than the “might enjoy.” My 82-year-old stage four cancer mother was asked at an appointment if she could have sex, a question she found understandably difficult to answer.

Medical "you can have sex" = "you can have really uncomfortable passive sex to keep your husband happy"
Hmm. Musically it's a matter of taste, but having been in a similar situation (living in a foreign country with a partner, just committed and bought a place together, and then...) it is worse than twattish and I found it an extremely cathartic listen.
Are you watching Vladimir? It lost all believability for me with the opening line (or close enough) when Rachel Weisz says “I will never again have power over men” yeah right
Ten minutes ago: never heard of Look Mum No Computer
Now: I would lay down my life to protect this man
I sometimes think Harrison Ford might be the coolest person ever to have lived. I didn’t know he was a Doors roadie but of course he was.
Greetings and good morning it’s the Friday farm rush hour with Willow, Squirrel, donkeys and toast
Also - having lived in a corner flat myself - potentially an absolute effing nightmare to keep cool in the summer, depending on the direction of the windows
And probably available for less than £890k
Ah yes I did not look at the size. I was more like... Ooh! And then: Where is the bedroom? And then: Oh. Round here (SE London) you can get a four double bedroom place for that money so I maintain that it's a lot!
I'm not denying that this flat is cool, but 890k for a glorified studio flat in Clapton? London is insane.

When I worked in TV I remember a producer of mine walking out of a screening when it began with the words “Egypt, land of the pyramids”
Utterly hideous
Man pissing in (presumably, or standing close to) a modern pissoir overlooking the Seine. It looks like a red metal box on top of a stand. It’s very ugly. A bateau mouche full of tourists is passing. Above is a jaunty sign featuring a cartoon of a man pissing in the pissoir, labeled URITROTTOIR
Great piece! I hope it’s been saved. The modern ones are hideous, though I do like the little sign above it
Such poetry in “Scotland’s last pissoir”
Sky News: Learner driver arrested for drug driving during test Police said officers could smell cannibals after they pulled over a 26-year-old learner driver because of a faulty brake light. He was later arrested for drug driving.
CANNIBALS.

I'm told today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut so felt like a good time share this one. #birds
Hello!! I have never seen you before! Of course I should have e guessed you wear excellent specs. Hello also Sophie!

Hence the full piece - it’s all suggested edits because the draft is too optimistic. Very funny.
They Shoot Horses, Don’t They is great but McCoy’s other Hollywood-related book I Should Have Stayed Home is worth seeking out too. (Always thought that those ‘Hard-Boiled’ and ‘Perverse’ tags would be great on a t-shirt)
Ironically I think it was the sitcom parts that put me off - the curtain-twitching neighbours, the deliberately stilted line delivery. A weird little drama about a grieving man growing sprites in his garage would have suited me much better!
So sorry. Always heartbreaking to lose a beloved animal pal.
