I can’t even read this on my phone now. I don’t know what the esteemed management here is going for, but the page keeps jumping up and down (in the original post and comments, and even during typing my comment), even so far as putting everything visible off screen. (And one time deleting my comment before I published…

This is a weird post. I went to see them in October 2001 (The Invisible Band tour) at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. Fran even said some things about 9/11 to the audience. Great to see them still at it though!

Inception doesn’t have a complex ending.

I disagree about the slow decline of Mr. Robot. It slumps in Season 2, for sure, but the quality returns in Season 3, and Season 4 is my personal favourite of the lot. 

If he’d been fired for turning up late one day, we’d have something to get up in arms about! 

Only one of those two was in Star Trek Voyager!  (Take that how you will.) 

Wong did more though. Well, said it anyway! 

They did both appear in Doctor Who’s The Curse of Fatal Death (not a movie, I know), but by necessity didn’t appear at the same time. 

I wouldn’t know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

Rush is way better than Ford v Ferrari.

Now Joey is the largest friend! (Though still not the tallest).

Never seen anywhere doing…

Hong Kong got all the Japanese consoles and software releases as soon as they were released in Japan (or very closely), usually directly imported from Japan. I got all my consoles soon after release when I was living there. 

It got me pretty spot on. It said I was 45, and I’m turning 45 in less than a month.

Probably only works for English people though. Not the Scots or Welsh. (Just listened to it and yes. That’s an English thing, from English people who think the two mean the same thing.)

Since you started writing for The Takeout, it was always clear that you are a brilliant writer, but now that memoir is right at the top of my reading list!

Taxis are nowhere near as bad here as in Bangkok. The occasional dickish driver now and again, but generally fine among the main taxi companies (in Saigon, at least - I don’t spend much time in other parts of the country). No Uber or Lyft here, though we have Grab (which bought out Uber over here a while back). Most…
