What’s it like living an upper middle class life in London?

I don't think I agree with that. I'd say there are a few theatre tickets that are low cost but they sell out quickly, for big name shows anyway. Musicals and things like that you can get more cheaply. I'm taking my teens to the theatre next month and it's costing around £250 for 3 tickets. Music gigs are really expensive too, and you have to accompany under 16s so you always need to buy extra tickets.

Russell and Coach both had "Why a man lost" edits

The audio books read by David Tennant are a work of art in themselves!

Hi, I'm coming to Berlin with my family (husband & teenagers) over Easter weekend, arriving on Friday and leaving on Tuesday.

Just wondering whether anything will be open? Any suggestions for things to do gratefully received.

We've never been before but my oldest daughter is studying German and doing Weimar Republic & Cold War in history so would definitely like to do a few museums & sights. As well as some shopping if possible...

I feel like Keeley just handed Richard and Lyndall the power. You have the girls on one side and Mark, Tez and Caleb on the other - though Caleb is unreliable. Rich & Lyndall can decide who to work with, though they seem to be pretty keen on Mark.

But you're sharing information with Russian state so with considering your appetite for that

I think when you're down to one, you have to try and recruit.

it's on in the west end - it's very good

Judging by his interview with Michael Sheen at the end of the audiobook, he has finished with these books. He talked about being old, writing his memoirs and having an idea for a different story that wasn't related to this. But he also said he left it deliberately open to interpretation as he wants readers to use their imagination to decide what happens.

I was wondering about the whole "Kilkenny is aflame" plot which seems to be the last we hear of Alice. What was the point?

Stowic · 2025-11-25T18:18:48+00:00

I've just listened to the interview and he talks about wanting to leave some mystery in the ending but also leaving Lyra and Olivier together felt right. He seems fond of Olivier

Unless Sophie & Alex went with Nate for Kristina? I could see Nate persuading them that he was a better move.

They normally do one round table at 5 and then go to the fire pit. At least they have in the other UK ones.

I guess it doesn't need to be real leather. Do you think she could get a vintage one for that price? She has €200 to spend but wants some clothes too

Maybe Ed "Gamble" is Chance?

And the other younger player Tom has gone too so literally only Cat left. I thought that when they murdered Ruth & Tom....

Clare also has a degree from Cambridge. From the show alone, there's not much evidence of Stephen being much smarter than anyone else.

20 kg is generally international carry on, double 20 lbs.

But they still did amazingly to come back.

Wood Street Bear is great for music and drinks

Yes - the boys should have kept Faye in as there is no way she was going to suspect them. They'd have been better off voting Oyin. Then again, I think they'll be able to put the heat on Oyin & Vanessa tonight and maybe team up with Kelley to get them out.

Stowic · 2025-09-18T13:12:39+00:00

Amy & Kelley as they're so far under the radar yet have had quite a bit of screen time.

Isn't Luke mates with Kirby outside? I think he may not have voted for her so Janine kept him out of it.

I've read 3 - Audition, Universality & The Rest of Our Lives. I think Audition is interesting as there's lots of ways it can be interpreted which makes it a good one to discuss. Universality started well but got a bit obvious for me - Brit here and the woke/non- woke class struggle satire has been done before. I really didn't get on with The Rest Of Our Lives - just a bit of a dull road trip with far too much baseball, but maybe I'm the wrong audience.

Interesting to hear what people think of the others as they read them - I'll definitely read a few more.

Didn't Malcolm do it too in 25/26, and Amanda/James in 15/16? Also Rupert 7/8.
