@AcademicAgent_X What a great film Twenty-Four Seven was.

I liked him in that boxing film by Shane Meadows, Twenty-Four Seven as well as in A Room for Romeo Brass. I liked him in Brazil.

The smoking jacket is worn whenever I have a cigar inside. Typically if I'm reviewing something I'll have a cigar doing it. There is a pattern to these things. If I'm doing a bit straight to camera much more likely to be Miami Vice or one of the tweed jackets.

@AcademicAgent_X Are there actually any students there?

Kids in Prof Jiang’s class: Sir, this has been interesting but we’re going to fail all our exams because none of this is on the curriculum. Prof Jiang: Today we’re going to be talking about the coming of the Anti-Christ.

@AaronBastani @KemiBadenoch Im convinced you and AA are the same person.

A few days ago I jokingly said I was more conservative than @KemiBadenoch Except I wasn’t really joking. Core to what *was* British conservatism, as a world view (it’s now essentially dead), is that things can always get worse. In fact they often do, and to stop that - or even take things in a slightly better direction - requires real thought and care. To make things marginally better is an obligation, but also tremendously hard - and always the work of multiple generations over time. And you still need luck. I had to reconcile that with thinking Marx had the best understanding about the volatility and permanently revolutionising nature of capitalism - but actually one is more comfortable with the other than at first glance. “All that is solid melts into air…all that is holy is profane” is a powerful analysis, and can be adopted by anyone, from socialist revolutionaries to social conservatives. Indeed it has been. But back to British conservatism. It no longer exists. It’s dead. That’s most visible with the permanently utopian schemes - via war - cheered on by the Tories and Reform. Rather than thinking things tend to get worse - that this is a default - they think things CAN’T get worse, certainly abroad. That things can only get better. There’s a place for that, certainly - optimism is important - but as the default thinking regarding foreign policy it’s insane, and we’ve been paying the price for decades. We will for many more. The only powerful faction in global affairs now interested in hard work, getting rich, global stability and progress is, ironically, the Chinese communist party. The British right has very few conservatives now. Certainly not intellectually. It’s just liberals who cheer on war and, often, dislike muslims.

@AcademicAgent_X Your here to watch it so we dont have to.

What's this about?

@AcademicAgent_X Now this didn't actually happen but it just goes to show what kind of guy he is.

Had a dream where I met Nigel Farage at some party. He was tiny. We talked exclusively about gluten and sandwiches and then he went off and started dancing and doing kareoke loudly, in an obnoxious manner.

@mission753 Is Greg running a SRM?

@AcademicAgent_X Just a tip aa. Get your cadence above 80. You'll find it easier

FFS, a drop off

@OGRolandRat Really enjoyed this one. Listened to it twice

@TheFastShow1 They're the creame da la bollock

The Off-Roaders; The hat #TheFastShow

@Savagehumor_ I'm not even listening to it. I'm still traumatized by the last one.

@ChrisWillx I prefer to read about the thing or tweet about the thing

Do the thing on a Sunday

@AskeBay Hi, how do I get negative feedback removed for an eBay Global Shipping Program sale. Also how do I take it further for the customer as he hasn't received his item yet.

@RAF_Luton What a load of nonsense. That's clearly Concorde laying down a Super Chemtrail.

@ekstromenator @mission753 Looks like a bashing at the front and back of a single chainring. I can remember when I started racing in the mid 90s and it was quite common.

@twitty11111111 @mission753 It is looking like a 2x with a bashring.
