'Birmingham sex shop' - only three words, but a whole Tate gallery  of depressing imagery.

Every night I tell myself I am the cosmos

It's on DVD release in the UK.

We've got Claudia Winkelman now, so all is well.

'I wanna get a jacket just like yours'

Read Hombre, Elmore Leonard's early western. A quick and undemanding read, but Leonard's style and eye are so good that you don't feel even the slightest twinge of guilt that you're putting off Trollope for another … well, a long period of time.

The Conservative-led coalition in Britain is continuing her policies - extending them, even. It's been 23 years since she was booted out, true, but her baleful spirit lives on - that's what people are obsessing about.

Fuuuuck … huuuuuggghhh!!

Shame some of the rich didn't get poor, it might've evened out.

You should see what the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish say about her.
