Strange. Currently streaming my way thru 'The Man in the High Castle' season 2. I do believe in synchronicity tho I hate Carl Jung. Based on the short story by PK Dick. A lot to make of a short story. Timely, as we've just lost our democracy, stateside. Watching on my phone because I lost all my furniture in my latest (forced) move. Now I finally understand why folks download things. Back on Instagram I got myself in an argument over Chinatown the film. Wrote something that seemed to shut it down without further response so I figure everyone was bored silly or maybe it was 'pretty good' as John Lennon might say. 'Somewhere, in an alternate universe, there's a better version of Chinatown, with a different director. Cheers and happy election!
The Man in the High Castle is a novel - a brilliant one! I thought the adaptation was pants, but I only watched the first couple of episodes. Total Recall is a (great) film based on a PKD short story, though.
I love Spike Milligan! He was a genius. And I love this comment. The fact that you wrote it in a petrol station toilet only makes me believe it more :)
Ha! We Want More Pocket Money by Pounds and Pence was very focused messaging! Sounds like you‘d be an asset to any campaign if you step back into activism!
You‘re very right about potholes being the clincher in some places. I went along to my local hustings and some of the hot issues were VERY parochial.
Oh, I meant to say, I also stood near the Poll tax riots. Found that entry in my old (obviously) diary just the other day & was thinking about writing about it!
Ooh thanks for that! Hope you like it - not so much humour in some of those stories! Love my kindle. And of course - your substack looks right up my street!
Oh, I read and love all sorts! Have you read any Camilla Grudova? My daughter introduced me to her books and she is like a modern Victorian goth in her style, if that can be a thing.
*renews Ticketmaster page obsessively to get front row tickets for Pounds and Pence*
Haha wait until you find out about some of my other bands! They're even worse. Or better, depending on how you look at it.
Consider a fun rompy no-thinkin Quick Round List of your bands with your intitial no-filter thought, memory or reflection aside each!
I might do just that!
Ha! Yay! UNCENSORED!
Always the unvarnished truth!

It wasn't me but a bad interweb source. Sorry anyway. But I have read most of his work at some point. A favorite
Your awesome. Possiblity the wittiest British writer since spike Milligan , who no one has even mentioned in 20 years for some reason..
Don't let the fact that I write this in a gas station toilet at 2:13 am in Florida lessen your genius.

I mean, you can't control everything, but you might be able to get a pothole filled in! I get it!

Oh you should! It was a huge deal. I remember the horses charging.
Adding it to the list!
Also, thank you for subscribing, Georgina. Hope you find something entertaining in return!
Downloaded your book to my Kindle last night. Looking forward to getting stuck in.
Kindle is new. Bedside book pile was getting ridiculous.
