Also the one about how immigrants helped revolutionise eating out in this country makes you feel proud to be British and fair brought a tear to my eye.

An evening of watching Timeshift episodes on youtube and gad rail travel used to have some glamour about it.

Watching this BBC Timeshift episode on the Iplayer about the rise and fall of the British seaside holiday and the fake Benidorm at Blackpool looks especailly horrific

All rather hipster I know, but Irn Bru Zero is properly very nice and drinkable as one's fizzy drink of choice at home, and for ingredients reasons isn't nearly as burpy/bloaty as your cola variant of the month.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

It's very much nights like this when one can picture King Oswiu of Northumbria sat in front of the telly at Bamburgh Castle watching Bede's About, wondering "why the fuck was I named Oswiu and not a normal name?"

God The Fugitive is such a brilliant no nonsense thriller isn't it, does exactly what it says on the tin.

Sadly the tea tastes of neither treason nor plot so bear that in mind.

Big mug of loose leaf gunpowder tea (it's growing on me with milk) and The Fugitive on Blu-ray. Get in.

So many moral panics about violent videogames, not enough about how the Sims has cursed a generation of interior designers:
