"To be northern (European) is to be at ever unease with oneself." #JonathanMeades. Yes. That's me.

Re-watching 'Double Dutch' by #JonathanMeades. The Netherlands in the East Anglian Fens.

See the #JonathanMeades doc 'Double Dutch'.
I've always thought that Norwich train station has a bit of the Continent about it. Dutch-style?
Fuck it. Was hoping to get back to Belgium for my forthcoming 'significant' birthday in March, but not sure my current MH could take it, so have just booked a break in Norwich at The Maids Head. Plenty of beer in the city, and there's obviously The Belgian Monk for your continental beer needs.

#JonathanMeades on Buckfast Tonic Wine. "Brewed in Devon by Benedictine monks. Experts in peddling delusion." Zing!

Now re-watching #JonathanMeades' 'Magnetic North' series of docs. One of his best series? So good on drink, good, architecture, and art.

Reassuring to find that #JonathanMeades is a fan of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_.... One of my favourite artists.

Jonathan Meades' compendium of tales is told through frames within frames, mazes within mazes, colliding narratives and quick changing moods.

Would love to sit down with a meal and chat with #JonathanMeades. It would be fascinating and illuminating.
"To be northern (European) is to be at ever ill-ease with oneself." Too, too true. Story of my life. #JonathanMeades

Re-watching 'Magnetic North' by #JonathanMeades. Perhaps my favourite of his many series, probably because it resonates with me. "To be northern (European) is to be forever at unease with oneself." Ah, how true.

Okay, enough #JonathanMeades, because he's overloading my synapses. A genius.

Oh, fuck. Watching #JonathanMeades European docs makes me want to revisit the continent again. I love northern Europe. Its art, its food, its beer, its culture. Eurostar me, baby!

Just realised that #JonathanMeades docs are as eclectic as those of #AdamCurtis, but infinitely more intellectually coherent. Curtis is all superficial style, no real substance. Meades does both. I will not be taking any further questions.

There's #JonathanMeades' doc about the racing industry called 'Nag, Nag, Nag.' Surely a nod to Cabaret Voltaire?

Again, #JonathanMeades getting it spot-on with his lambasting of #Putin's fascism in his 2008(!) series 'Magnetic North'.

I miss #JonathanMeades on the #BBC. Can you imagine programmes like this being made these days? It's now all Wallace flashing his dick on cookery shows and strictly come, ah, who gives a fuck?
