2022 goal: find an official tea partner for my streams. Other streamers are energy drink affiliates. I want to be a tea affiliate.
I just want to be able to say "today we are drinking this tea on stream" and drink different teas. Then have people be able to buy that tea with a discount code if they like the sound of it.

All I require is a regular supply of free tea. I'm easy. I'm a tea slut.
I mean don't get me wrong, I drink energy drinks as well. I'd just rather be in the pocket of Big Tea than Big Energy.

Well, Small-To-Medium Tea. I'd rather that.
(I also think tea blenders are failing to realise how much of a MASSIVE untapped market 25+ gamers are. Literally every strategy gamer I know drinks tea and will upgrade to decent blends with an influencer nudge. But I digress)
Coffee is different. A lot of the hip coffee brands see themselves (and cast themselves) as an alternate to energy drinks. So they see the parallel model.

Every tea company I've pitched stream/Twitter thread sponsorship at doesn't realise they can inhabit the same space.
I mean COME ON. Look at the numbers my tea threads do. I know a lot of cool things about tea. It utterly baffles me that tea blends aren't all over 30+ creators like me.

I get it's a scary/different market, but I'm here to help.

Your slightly mad railfan of the day:

King Boris III of Bulgaria.

His train nerdery seemed initially be a blessing for La Compagnie Internationale as they tried to sort out a route for their Orient Express, but...

...well. Things escalated quickly.

Read on... /1 a dapper gentleman with a m...
So Compagnie Internationale seemed to have utterly lucked out.

Not only was Boris all "OMG YESSSSS" when they asked to run the Orient Express through Bulgaria, but he became one of their biggest customers, regularly booking out whole carriages for himself.

But Bozza wanted more
Soon, he was turning up in engine overalls and asking to ride in the cab, when he wasn't chilling in his private carriage.

Compagnie Internationale told train crew to let it slide.

Because:

1) He was literally King of Bulgaria
2) He was spending a TON of cash

There's a weird thing where TV companies just assume that they have some kind of magical right to your sources.

They slide into your DMs and are like: "hey. We're TV. We don't want to talk to you, but can you hook us up with all your research/source contact deets? Cheers. Bye."
I assume they think you'll be so in awe of the slightest connection to the tellybox that you'll just fawn and do it.

It's not the nineties. If I wanted to do a video about something I'd do it myself.

Or, ya know, you could pay me. My time isn't free.
It's very odd. I never really get that with big papers, who'll mostly want to chat to you or at least credit (excluding the Daily Fash who just nick all your stuff without contacting you anyway)

But TV production? They ask for everything and mostly offer nothing.

Okay, finally found the angle for the Mohne attack run.

You come in wide then sweep round and descend fast at the last minute as you come over the hook. Can see why they needed the full moon.

Hard enough to do that at night WITHOUT a bunch of angry Germans shooting at you. 😬
Same Mohne attack run, but at dusk rather than the time they got over target, as it gives you a better view.

Note me almost stacking it on the trees as I come over the island to hit height. Pretty certain the tail gunner would have been picking leaves out of his turret.
The approach to, and exit from, the Eder attack. You have to see this in daylight to see how bloody hard it is.

Now imagine doing this at night.

JOSEPH: Hmmm. I see they're doing another census.
MARY: Are they?
JOSEPH: Bloody Romans.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Unelected bureaucrats.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Oh no. Why have you got thinking face?
MARY: Schools, Joseph! This means we can get him into a good school!
JOSEPH: Mary, we've talked about this. He can go to the local comp
MARY: He's not going there
JOSEPH: Did me alright.
MARY: Says the man who voted for Jexit
JOSEPH: Look, they lied to us. They said it would lead to more money for the Temple
MARY: He's going to a good school, Joe
JOSEPH: We can't afford a good school, Mary.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area.
JOSEPH: I'm not moving house again. You know how hard it is finding carpentry jobs in this economy.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area ON THE CENSUS
JOSEPH: Oh. OH

Things you spot as a writer:

Sandra Bullock's character in Demolition Man was clearly written to be Stallone's daughter, not love interest.

And they didn't remove all the plot/dialogue hooks in the rewrite.

Which is why that sub plot feels creepy af.
Demolition Man is basically a film about future Sly Stallone never trying to find his estranged daughter, as he suspects it's the person he's boning.
The early post-unfreezing convo about Stallone leaving a wife and daughter behind is a HUGE sub-plot setup they then have to handwave away later.

I'm assuming the plot change came during filming.

Worth remembering that Dominic Raab is an ex-Magic Circle law firm lawyer.

So he probably legit believes that all business meetings involve wine and cheese.

It's only a party if you order hookers and blow too, and even then only if you can't work out how to bill it to a client.
RAAB: Do you see anyone huffing coke off a young lady's breasts? Well then, it's not a party is it.
As someone who has worked in digital both in the porn AND legal industries, I can tell you which one had the most skeevy parties.

And it's not the porn industry.
