I emigrated to Australia when I was 10 (Thatcher won the election and my dad drove to Australia house to apply for emigration the following Monday, making him the one person to follow through on that threat) despite being 10 when I got here, I still see myself as English, am proud to be English and still have a deep emotional connection with my Englishness, having said all that, there is just no doubt that Australia is the best country in the world for average people to live an average life in, and second place isn’t even close
We’re not perfect, we have our issues, housing being one, but this is just an amazing country to live a working class or middle class life in
Thank you for sharing The Atlantic piece (which, generously, is free to read). Great insights from all of them, and - knowing him only from movies - I never realised how funny Jamie Foxx was…

For every Florida man story, there's an Australian saying "Hold my beer..."
or "hold my shoe"...
I swear to god as I read this comment from you I am an Australian (well English but see my comment above) with a beer in my hand 😀
Thank you, in particular, for link to the Archie Bland article. Intensely honest and very moving. Life is so precious.
Haven't watched the interview yet, but... presumably it was Sherwood that you talked about, not Sherlock.
lol yes

Also thank you for reminding me of that G piece on Gail’s - they’re about to open in my city, Salisbury, which pleases me.
Love the dress! Is it Me and Em?
The Jordan Peterson clip is fantastic!
