Probably either Jean-Luc Godard or Rowan Atkinson. Honourable mention to Tom Wolfe.

I suspect I have my old friend @DLidington to thank, indirectly, for this, but the sight of myself 50-odd years ago was not what I was expecting over breakfast this morning- University Challenge at 60 (2022) imdb.com/title/tt21984406

Grammatical joke of the week . . .
Think the writer swerved into something here, or did he do that on purpose?

Deeply saddened by this news.
If anyone out there is not already familiar with his work then 'A New Way To Say Goodnight' is a great place to start - a tiny nugget of brilliance that never ceases to surprise.
The loss of Len Deighton at 97 is sad, but sadness is temporary.
What endures is his legacy of characters and stories, illustrations and recipes, that have given pleasure to readers around the world for over 60 years.
Thank you, Len.

I'm still awaiting the first sighting in the wild of the use of 'America' as a verb - viz, 'to America something', defn: to gratuitously f*** something up (country, constitution, language, etc) when its not actually broken.
Any moment now . . .
