I had a dream last night that I met Tyson Fury in a McDonalds. I invited him on the podcast, but it did NOT go well. I was gutted.

I see lots of people asking for
#EdFringe
recommendations.
Basically, see as many shows
@StandComedyClub
as you can.
Not only are the shows ace, but
performers can actually make good money, which is a Fringe rarity.
And they have also paid staff the Living Wage for years.

Amazing: If you read "green needle," that's what you'll hear; if you read "brainstorm," you'll hear that instead. Also works if you just hold each phrase in mind. 😮

No new episode of LEP this week, but here are 2 hours of conversation I had with Antony Rotunno for his podcast
@lifeonly75
. We talked about a fascinating documentary from 2003 which is all about the role of corporations in society.

NEW EPISODE!
In the eternal struggle to figure out how the world works, you could do worse than watch 'The Corporation'. Luke
@EnglishPodcast
and I do our best to keep it light while giving the subject the attention it deserves
Enjoy!

One of the great things about living on a boat is when you know a 34c degree heatwave is coming... you move your home somewhere shaded :-)
