Jon Ronson wrote about it 20 years ago:

Jon Ronson on David Icke

David Icke, one-time goalkeeper, TV presenter and self-proclaimed Son of God, has re-invented himself as a travelling guru. Would Canada take seriously his warnings of power-hungry extraterrestrial reptiles or would he be dismissed as an anti-Semitic...

This is incorrect, he wrote about it 19 years and 10 months (plus a day) ago.

Is it pedant-o-clock already?

When isn’t it?

FUNKHOUSER IS ONE OF THEM

I’m actually listening to Them on audiobook at the moment. Love Jon’s soft kind voice.

Also terrifying how most of this book is still relevant

oh no, these are the ones I bought the other day! They’re WAY too bright and give me a bit of a migraine.

They also don’t have a white or warm white option as the white picks up the colour of whatevers behind it so mine was blue as it’s by my dark blue wall.

PISSED. Also going completely to waste so could have sent you them

We listened to the public shaming audiobook whilst on a US road trip a few years ago and I could last for about 45 minutes driving before I had to swap over and immediately nod off for about half an hour. I don’t sleep in cars!!

Don’t jon ronson and drive kids

Ah that’s a shame, I was hoping as these have a remote they might be quite customisable, too bright is not good

meowington · 2021-01-18T15:40:52.981Z

They might be fine for what you need and also the twinkle setting is lovely with pastel coloured lights! They would have been PERFECT for my christmas tree…but not for relaxing film viewing unless they’re behind your head (I wanted mine to go around my telly)

Talking of buying stuff… I just ordered some Sweaty Betty leggings for my wife’s birthday.

meowington · 2021-01-18T15:43:43.801Z

Ooh which ones?

did you use a code? I had a 15% off code!

ttf · 2021-01-18T15:44:09.778Z

i’m putting them on my book case which is in my peripheral vision so hopefully that will work. having said that the remoteless multicoloured ones I already have are pretty bright and I can’t stop looking at them. might be worse at night though

anon29812515 · 2021-01-18T15:49:36.384Z

I found a 30% off one that took 20% off…

Power gym leggings, full length in black cherry purple. They are what it threw up when I did a questionnaire but I had to do a bit of guessing.

meowington · 2021-01-18T15:50:40.458Z

Very nice, i’m sure she’ll love them. I’ve earnt a lot of men on here brownie points via my SB recommendations

Be warned though, you’re setting yourself up for expensive gift buying now…

Just got told this isn’t my house and I’m not welcome here by my brother, who also called me a (cw: ableist and misogynistic language) dumb cunt and told me to leave.

Really nice thing to say when I’m due to move out into a council place approximately never.

Where did you get all these things from please?

Avery · 2021-01-18T16:28:00.744Z

https://www.mexgrocer.co.uk/food It’s not cheap, but I’ve not found any easier way to get some of those things over here.

anon19035908 · 2021-01-18T16:30:00.430Z

Keep getting adverts for there on FB so this is the universe’s way of telling me to click on one I reckon.
