@ZackPolanski Don't cede an inch to these bastards, who are obviously determined to Corbynise you. They're a disgrace. Stand your ground, push back & don't apologise.

@ThatNickGraham @Suzierizzo1 I suspect Donald wishes he could speak like Charles III. What do you think? I’m not talking about rhetoric at all. And even less about diplomacy. Just pronunciation. That’s what’s on Donald’s mind, isn’t it?

@JohnSimpsonNews I attended his lectures as an undergraduate. They were stupendous - alternately fascinating, incomprehensible and profound. His perpetual orange necktie was a thing of wonder.

Sad to read of the death of the poet J. H. Prynne. In 1965 he was Cambridge U.’s overseer of the student magazine Granta, and as editor I had to discuss each edition with him. I couldn’t understand his poetry, and still can’t, but he was a charming, witty, elegant figure.

@trademovies It's hilarious that someone has to live with that name, but for Pynchon, I think it relies too much on real-world events and not enough on the language itself. Like if you're an English speaker outside America, you probably wouldn't notice that this is funny

I'm fucking sick of what you people are calling "Pynchon character names." A gold thief named Guy Stealsgold is not a "Pynchon name," it's a Charles Dickens name. Absurdly obvious and specific. You want a fuckin' Pynchon name? Immanuel Quickley.

@DLidington I think it was the international match against @DavidsonCollege though don't remember if they sported American buttonholes. All courtesy of Granada TV's wardrobe dept. And mercifully not a kaftan in sight...

@thewritertype & OK, fair do, Shakespeare then got ripped off by Plautus with 'Menaechmi'. What goes around...

@thewritertype And he ripped off 'The Boys From Syracuse' and turned it into 'Comedy of Errors'. I'm astonished no one seems to have noticed this.

Sure, happy birthday to Shakespeare, but it's a fact that he stole most of his plots. Like, one play is a total ripoff of West Side Story, but set in the olden days.

@paranoiacs GP & the Rumour supporting Dylan at the Blackbushe Picnic in 1978 is etched in the memory - they were absolutely stupendous.

@joergjessen @ThatNickGraham @ArmandDAngour Jane Austen was very clever I read almost her entire oeuvre only last year. I had previously avoided it because I thought she was so popular she couldn’t possibly be good.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that even people who use that phrase haven’t read Pride and Prejudice.
