“Much Ado About Nothing” at Shakespeare’s Globe.

Why do tape measures always have a very distinctive smell?

There’s a session drummer named Steve Gadd who looks awfully like George Clooney.

This ad I saw is from 2007.

The restaurant I made a reservation at lets me upload a photo of myself so they can greet me by name when I arrive. I haven’t seen anything like that before.

I’m going to give it a whirl. And if they do greet me by name this is how I’m going to feel.

Morning all ☀️ I don’t know about you lot, but my sun is gorgeous this morning.

I’ve written about how media companies keep on underestimating the value of new technologies. imlefthanded.com/2024/from…

“Air” is about the creation of Air Jordan shoes at Nike. It’s silly and corny, but very enjoyable.

Moving along at a quick, fun pace and feels a bit like an Adam McKay film at times.

This is also quite the ‘Dad film’ (another one for Matt Damon, after Ford v Ferrari).

You might have missed “Air”. But you should correct that, as it’s a great way to spend 111 minutes and very much worth a watch. It’s hard to dislike it.

Also: are you ever unsatisfied by the “where are they now” segment at the end of “based on a true story” film, when they don’t go into enough detail? Well this delivers in this department.

After “Air” you should watch:

• The Last Dance, a documentary about Michael Jordan.
• BlackBerry, another ‘business film’. It’s another solid film you might have missed..

KFC is the only good value fast food chain left. As long as you ignore the burgers and stick to the buckets, you can feed a family at a pretty solid price.

My fellow English autumn addicts, just how much are you loving this wonderfully rainy July?

Happy Sunday all. The weather is fine and sunny in Hertfordshire today and I’ve been for a pre-tennis/football final walk 🥾

The barista yelled ‘Mi’lady!’ and for a split second I thought I’d time-traveled to a medieval Starbucks. Turns out they just butchered ‘Melonie.’

Hope everyone’s Saturday’s are going well. I’m just back from a spooky July walk and bean-covered burger 🥾🍔

Modern life feels like death by a thousand £9.99 subscriptions.

I mean, doesn’t the word ‘buy’ imply you get to keep it?

Captcha: ‘Select all stairs.’ Brain: ‘What defines a stair?’ Suddenly, I’m questioning reality.

The longest title for a film that I’ve come across.

The Queen’s final Christmas speech before she died is listed as the “series finale” on TheTVDB, ha.
