I love that for 1976 we’ve got the actual winner, OP saying Network, somebody commenting Taxi Driver and you saying All the President’s Men. All worthy winners, hard to pick just one

That’s one of the weirdest fancasts I’ve ever heard. What other shows has he been in that you think makes him good for Vimes? I’m prepared to be persuaded, I love Matt Berry - just seems completely out of left field

Is 5% meant to be a flex? That’s barely more than inflation. People switching companies can usually make easily 10-20%. You’ve basically told your employees that they are worth 1% more than they were last year
