    You use your special posh telephone voice when you speak to your mum don’t you?

    Code switching. Apparently I had a “telephone voice” (probably still do) that, as a kid, my parents found faintly hilarious.
    I have no idea I’m doing it.

    Likewise, my wife will point out how I sound different (albeit faintly) when talking to my parents, UK friends, etc.

    It's not inexplicable but this seemed like the best place to put this.

    Fucking North fucking London Cunting Forever.

    The word North is superfluous here.

    Gordon Is A Moron by Jilted John (who I think became John Shuttleworth).
    I don't know what that is in Spanish. Or Catalan.
    I could Google translate. But no.

    Why, don't you, just switch off your television set and go out and do something less boring instead?

    No, it's an original and it's an absolutely terrific song. One Direction passed me by almost completely unnoticed, but as a solo performer Styles is remarkably talented.

    Features significantly (as a karaoke version) in Project Hail Mary.

    Can't stand Harry Styles's music, but then it may be because Little Miss BW is playing it all the time in the car.

    American Girls is one of the most insipid, annoying dirges I've heard in a long time. Shite.

    Not really my thing but he’s an icon and we don’t really seem to have many of them anymore. See Yungblud, another British megastar who has something about him.

    Not sure Harry Styles and Yungblud are in the same league of mega stardom.
