Some progress
More to come.
Don’t look too closely or it’ll all start to fall apart.

What kind of Irish is your grandad?
I wouldn’t call it an unqualified success, but the new SNL UK was much better than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed the weirdness of George Fouracres’ show closer.

The George Washington Sketch
Jesse David Fox for Vulture sat down earlier this year for an 90-minute conversation with Nate Bargatze, and writers Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. They talked about one of the most popular Saturday Night Live sketches in recent years, “Washington’s Dream”.
I’m a big Bargatze fan, so I’ll watch pretty much anything he appears in but this is a super-detailed insight into how it was brought together over the course of an SNL week by Day, Seidell and the rest of the crew.
I should say, if you’ve not seen the sketch, you should probably watch it first. Then watch Washington’s Dream 2.

Recent media diet
Some media I’ve consumed recently:
- Hitler: The Rise of Evil (Part 2), continuing the recent deep-dive into the WW2-universe
- Race, see above
- Taskmaster, seasons 1 to 4, rewatching since my daughter is newly obsessed with the show
- LSD by Cardiacs
- Shredded: Inside RBS, the Bank that Broke Britain by Ian Fraser
- The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
- Watching Rangers has been the choriest of chores this season (and beyond, tbqfhwy) but on we go

Cardiacs, March 2026
After a little bit of scrambling about this morning, I managed to get 2x tickets for Cardiacs at Saint Luke’s, Glasgow. I’ve never been to the venue, so I’m looking forward to seeing the band, and in new surroundings.
Also got tickets for me and the family to see The Last Dinner Party at Edinburgh Corn Exchange, next month. That’ll be my daughter’s first real gig, so we’re all looking forward to that.
Anyway, back to Cardiacs. This is the first video of theirs I saw and it had me hooked from the start.
