It was fun, especially running across the bridge, although after the bridge you go down Barbaros bulvar and it’s tough on the shins.

I went to North Korea with GG in the 1990s for an undercover reportage. I was pretending to be his parliamentary secretary. Terrifying experience all round! Even more terrifying in retrospect.

I did Istanbul. Started in the Bosporus Bridge and finished at the Blue mosque passing Dolmabahce and the spice market etc.

Pretty much. No clue what happened and then really started to panic which didn’t make it better of course

Didnt happen to me but I was there. Very nice restaurant and friend/ relative/acquaintance ordered steak tartare thinking it was Belgian steak tartare.

The hubby and I are off to a posh restaurant (Michelin starred) for our wedding anniversary tonight. So, in the spirit of making BlueSky slightly more fun, what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done in a posh restaurant?

Got told off, very politely, by a waiter for not eating the cheeks of the fish. And once lost the ability to use chopsticks in a Japanese restaurant. And I started panicking 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve been known to do this too. Have even reached out and shaken hands with a few people before.

*Apparently* I am extremely embarrassing in expensive restaurants because when I walk in I sometimes do a little circuit, nodding and smiling at fellow diners as if they’re old friends, acquaintances etc. They invariably nod back, assuming we must have met before.

In the early 2000s, Derek Jacobi had to hold the stall door open for me while I was hangover sick in the toilet during a lunchtime service at The Ivy

But soldiering on, I also like greeting some expansive say lobster dish with a joyous cry of ‘This is mighty fine chicken’.

Oh well if I must. Go find A’s essay The Idea of Language which is about language as revelation which is rather unfortunately relevant to some of the AI loons (ie they think they have *actually* created theological revelation.

FWIW this is not intended to be censorial. I entirely understand why people post over there (it’s a much bigger network, valuable for people’s careers etc) but it’s not (at all) cost free.

If I were PM I would invite all the whining billionaires to a summit to discuss their ideas.

Where I would maroon them all on Gruinard with a supply of canned food.

And a single can opener hidden somewhere on the island.

And we’d stream it live.

It would make £ millions

How is this news? billionaire oil person says uk needs to drill more and tax less, though, of course, he‘s actually in Monaco. And he would do more in the uk if the state subsidised him more. Dear BBC, that‘s like me saying the uk‘s problem is underpaid law profs. www.bbc.com/news/article...
