SWOON
Spent all day Sunday watching the exquisite BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with Spunky and Elspeth and learned to like Strongbow (but only if it is decanted into a wine glass).
I was shocked and dismayed to hear that Keira twunting Knightly was to appear in a new adaptation of the book with some twonk playing Mr Darcy. I will not be going to see this.
That will be all.

What? A new version? Already? B…but it was just out, like, a few years ago…
Any votes for who we think’ll play Darcy, then? Fingers crossed for Ben Stiller…
Only joking, kids.

It was 10 years ago and I was studying Pride and Prejudice for my Standard Grades.

10 years ago?!?!?
I was going to say ‘man, I was only 11!’ then I realised I am not 21 I am 24.
Time is my cruel enemy.

I was one of those cool guys who was round at his only friends house, watching Evil Dead 2 and writing up rules for using Star Wars vehicles in Warhammer 40K. I think watching Pride and Prejudice on telly was the least of my embarrassments.
The more I think about it, the more I realise I had the best teenage years out of anyone I know. Booze and girls are for losers.
Also, ‘Pah!’ to Strongbow. It is Magners that is king of cider.

God yes, apparently it’s also ten years since “Britpop”

That britpop thing is utterly heartbreaking. Recent memory as nostalgia. Shit.
