Welcome to another MM Q&A, taking in budgeting rules of thumb, pension tax relief and offshore worker pension contributions, and lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA14    01:57  Question 1 Hi Pete, I've been a long-time follower of your podcast and hope to be retiring or entering my ‘renaissance' in the next five years or so. I'd like to know if you think the 50, 30, 20 rule is still a good rule of thumb, or is there a better one? About a year ago, I decided to give a presentation on pensions to the new starters at my workplace. As I prepared, I realised that while I could explain the mechanics and importance of pensions, the bigger challenge would be addressing the feeling many have that they "can't afford" to contribute due to financial pressures—especially for younger people. Reflecting on my own experiences during university and early work life, I noticed a pattern: no matter how much I earned, I always seemed to end up with zero by the end of the term or month. Earning more didn't make me happier, and I was going out less compared to when I had very little. A detailed review of my spending revealed I was wasting money on unnecessary things—like buying three CDs instead of two, upgrading to a large coffee when a medium would do, or adding extras to my car that weren't needed. It was only when I learnt to pay myself first that everything changed overnight. Recently, I've been listening to podcasts about retirement that emphasise health, purpose, and happiness. One by Dr. Chatterjee introduced the concept of core happiness versus junk happiness. Core happiness comes from meaningful, lasting fulfilment, while junk happiness provides short-term pleasure through things like sugar, smoking, alcohol, social media, or shopping. Looking back, much of my unnecessary spending was driven by junk happiness. While paying myself first helped control this, understanding the why behind it made a big difference. This led me to realise that my presentation shouldn't just focus on the mechanics of finance—it also needed to explore the psychology behind spending. Understanding why we buy the things we do is important to becoming more financially secure while staying happy. It was something in one of Nischa's videos that seemed to tie everything together at a high level: the 50-30-20 rule —50% for fundamentals, 30% for fun, and 20% for the future. So my question is ( I know I've gone around the houses so sorry about that) given today's financial turbulence, do you think this is still a good rule to follow? Kind regards, Steve 09:16  Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger, Thanks for all the content you've put our over years, it really has been so helpful. I am 54 and have a work place pension with Fidelity where my employer matches my contributions to a certain level and I make additional through my monthly pay to the tune of £2.400 p.m. This summer I am due to inherit around £130,000 and will look to add around 20k of it  into my pension fund.  My question relates specifically to tax relief. I understand that when I make the contribution in the summer I will get 20pc tax relief automatically, but how will this show itself, will my contribution of 20k actually show on my pension balance a 24k?    Also as a 40pc high rate tax payer I understand I will need to to complete a tax return to claim the additional 20%.  This being the case, would I still be able to do this if I had left my employment later in the same tax year as I may be looking to retire in Autumn 2025.  Would it be the case that as I was no longer a higher rate tax payer as at 4 April 2026 I would not be able to claim the extra 20pc  on the 20k contribution the previous summer kind regards Gary 16:09  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly, I am absolutely addicted to your podcast. What you're doing is nothing short of heroic and am waiting to see your names on the New Year Honours List. Sir Pete and Sir Roger has a nice ring to it, don't you think? I am 34 and work in a career that gives me the opportunity to go on expat assignments (typically 3-year stints). This results in me becoming a non-tax resident in the UK meaning I can no longer contribute to the UK DC workplace pension and no longer able to contribute to my S&S ISA. My company do have an Offshore version of the DC pension but contributions to this are made after hypothetical tax so effectively there is no tax relief and to be honest I have really struggled to understand how I would access this pension come retirement and the UK tax implications so will likely avoid contributing to it this time around. When I go on an expat assignment, although I do get significant uplifts to my income, it interrupts my flow of regular pension and ISA contributions. The income I earn on assignment just mounts up and gets eaten up by inflation until I return to the UK and continue investing again. My question is what advice would you give to people like me? Should I speak to a financial planner before I go on assignment, or can I DIY this? Should I try to max out pension contribution limits before I go on assignment and max them out on return or should I be investing in GIAs while I am on assignment? What other considerations would you recommend? Thanks, Ryan 23:23  Question 4 Dear Pete and Rog, Thanks so much for your podcast - not just for the technical tips and tricks but for educating us towards and encouraging healthy relationships with finances. Q1 can I buy you a drink when I'm next in Cornwall? Q2 I don't know if this will resonate with other listeners, but here goes.... Pete, you have sometimes made reference to your upbringing in a Christian home, particularly in relation to talking (or not!) about money.  I appreciate that it may not be something you have chosen to follow in later life, but I guess if anyone understood the moral, ethical and belief issues surrounding money and Christianity, you might. As a Christian who tries to follow Biblical principles & the teachings of Christ, on one hand I strongly believe that what ever we have, be that time, skills, talents or money, they are a gift from God and we should use them or "steward them" well.  I am an NHS consultant so am fortunate to be in both 1995 and 2015 DB NHS pension schemes, expect to get a full state pension, am building an emergency fund, don't have bad debts, have adequate insurance / income protection and am seeking to invest a little of my spare money via an ISA into a low cost, passive, globally diversified index tracker (not financial advice!)  This seems wise to me.  I would encourage my fairly grown up children in this way too. On the other hand, there is much Biblical teaching along the lines of - "don't worry about tomorrow, what you will wear etc", "build up treasures in heaven rather than on earth" and "seek first the Kingdom of God".... Have you any thoughts or insights on how I might square some of this.  Or can you point me in the direction of planners / advisors who can? Many thanks once again. Robbie 31:14  Question 5 Hi Roger and Pete Love the show, which I have recommended to so many people. I consider myself a more mature investor with long-term savings, ISA's and Pensions who has also completed the build wealth course on Meaningful Academy and coaching with Alistair. I was listening to the Making Money podcast with Damien, and he was interviewing the COO of Nest who talked about how they are offering access to Private Equity investment via Schroders Capital. So my question is, what do you think of this as an option for further diversification, and are there any good options/ funds for private investors like me to access? Thanks in advance Jamie 35:23  Question 6 Hi guys, Been listening for a couple years now. Really enjoy the show and the rapport you both have. You've made me passionate about saving regularly into my stocks and shares ISA, maximising pension contributions and building up an emergency fund. My dad is 71 and has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He is still in good shape, but we are starting to think and plan more for the future. My sister and I have recently been set up to have power of attorney so we can help with various health and financial things when the time comes. My dad is selling a property (not his main residence) and once completed will have about £250,000 in cash sitting in his bank. He receives a DB pension of just under £60k a year which he can comfortably live on. £60k of the £250k is currently in a cash ISA with a decent enough rate. Although I think this may be best sat within a stocks and shares ISA tracking a global equity index fund, as he will almost certainly not need this money any time soon. Could he transfer the £60k cash ISA to a stocks and shares one? I have suggested for him to put £50k into premium bonds and I think he would like £50k readily available in an instant access account should it ever be needed. This would leave him with about £90k that we're not sure what to do with. Do you have any tips for the remaining cash whether that be with a short term, or medium to long term view? (GIA? Fixed term income account? Gift the money? Anything else we're missing?) His pension makes him a higher rate tax payer but his estate would fall under the inheritance tax threshold. (If my question is already too long, please don't feel obliged to read this last part out!) Finally my sister and I are also concerned about potential fraud or him doing something daft. Not only because he has Alzheimer's, but it seems anyone can so easily be caught out these days. Do you have any tips for us to help combat this or what his bank might suggest. We haven't currently told his bank about his condition or that my sister and I have power of attorney. Thanks for all your great work, Steven

La chronique de Josef Schovanec : Hans Taupeman (Hans Moleman), l'un des personnages fictifs de la série Les Simpson. Charlie Buffet, écrivain et journaliste pour les quotidiens Libération et Le Monde et pour différents magazines spécialisés (Montagnes Magazine, Vertical…), qui a traduit le livre "Vers l'Everest" de George Mallory (Éditions Paulsen/Collection Guérin). Ce livre rassemble tous les écrits de George Mallory, explorateur et alpiniste britannique, l'une des figures majeures des premières expéditions parties à la conquête de l'Everest : textes de réflexion, récits d'ascension, lettres à sa femme Ruth, jusqu'au dernier message confié à un Sherpa. « Une masse triangulaire incongrue a surgi des profondeurs ; son côté se perdait dans les nuages. Très progressivement, nous avons vu apparaître les flancs d'une grande montagne, ses glaciers et ses arêtes, tantôt un éclat, tantôt un autre à travers les échancrures mouvantes, jusqu'à ce que, bien plus haut dans le ciel que ce que l'imagination avait osé suggérer, apparaisse le sommet blanc de l'Everest. C'était comme la création la plus folle d'un rêve. » En 1921, un homme marche vers l'Himalaya, fasciné. Il est le premier Occidental à approcher le plus haut sommet du monde, à le décrire, à le photographier, et à s'élever sur ses pentes. Cet homme, c'est George Mallory. Britannique, dandy, courageux dans l'effort et l'inconfort, il est alpiniste par passion, écrivain et artiste par vocation : « Les alpinistes n'admettent aucune différence sur le plan émotionnel entre l'alpinisme et l'Art. Ils prétendent que quelque chose de sublime est l'essence même de l'alpinisme. Ils peuvent comparer l'appel des cimes à une mélodie merveilleuse, et la comparaison n'est pas ridicule. » Mallory écrivait. Ses textes racontent au plus intime ce que fut l'exploration exaltante de l'Everest jusqu'à ce 8 juin 1924 où il disparut sur les dernières pentes du Toit du monde, qu'il fut peut-être le premier à atteindre. Et où son corps momifié a été découvert le 1er mai 1999. Le coup de coeur de Gorian Delpâture : « L'imposture » de Zadie Smith (Gallimard). Eliza Touchet est loin d'être une femme ordinaire dans l'Angleterre victorienne de la fin du XIXe siècle. Non seulement, après avoir perdu son mari, elle vit en concubinage à peine masqué avec son cousin par alliance — dont elle se retrouve contrainte de corriger les innombrables romans-fleuves écrits dans la veine de Charles Dickens, le talent en moins —, mais elle est aussi farouchement indépendante et politisée. Abolitionniste de la première heure, Eliza s'enthousiasme pour un intrigant procès qui déchaîne les passions à Londres : Sir Roger, grand héritier de l'empire Tichborne, disparu en mer des années auparavant, a brusquement refait surface et réclame son dû. À ses côtés, un ancien esclave de la colonie jamaïcaine ayant appartenu à la famille Tichborne témoigne en sa faveur. Mais ce revenant, si grossier et inculte, peut-il vraiment être Sir Roger, comme il le clame ? Et pourquoi cet homme noir prend-il ainsi sa défense ? Le talk-show culturel de Jérôme Colin.

TreasurIn the year 1750, England is rife with crime and highway robbers. To stop the wave of chaos, King George II sets up the first professional police force named the Bow Street Runners, under the command of the bellowing Sir Roger Daley, and seconded by Captain Desmond Fancey and Sergeant Jock Strapp. The Runners are apparently successful in wiping out crime and lawlessness – using all manner of traps and tricks to round the criminals up. However their main target is the notorious Richard "Big Dick" Turpin, a highwayman who has evaded capture and succeeded in even robbing Sir Roger and his prim wife of their money and clothing. After this humiliation, Turpin becomes the Bow Street Runners' most wanted man, and thus Captain Fancey is assigned to go undercover and catch the famous Dick Turpin and bring him to justice. The Bow Street Runners nearly succeed in apprehending Turpin and his two partners in crime, Harriet and Tom, one evening as they hold up a coach carrying faux-French show-woman, Madame Desiree, and her unladylike daughters, "The Birds of Paradise." However, Turpin manages to outsmart the Runners, sending them away in Madam Desiree's coach. Outraged by Strapp's incompetence, Captain Fancey travels with the sergeant to the village of Upper Dencher near to where the majority of Turpin's hold-ups are carried out. There they encounter the mild-mannered Reverend Flasher, who is really Turpin in disguise, with Tom as his church assistant and Harriet as his maidservant. They confide in the rector their true identities and their scheme to apprehend Turpin. They agree to meet at the seedy Old Cock Inn, a notorious hang-out for criminals and sleazy types, and where Desiree and her showgirls are performing. Fancey and Strapp pose as two on-the-run crooks – and Strapp dubs his superior "Dandy Desmond" – and they hear from the greasy old hag, Maggie, a midwife who removed buckshot from Turpin's buttock, that Turpin has a curious birthmark on his manhood. Strapp wastes no time in carrying out an inspection in the public convenience of the Old Cock Inn. When the rector arrives, he discovers their knowledge of the birthmark, and sweet talks Desiree into assisting him with the capture of "Turpin", whom the rector has told Desiree is actually Fancey, who is sitting downstairs in the bar. She lures him to her room and attempts to undress him, with the help of her wild daughters. The girls pull down his breeches but fail to find an incriminating birthmark, and Desmond staggers half-undressed into the bar. Strapp is also dumped into a horse trough for peeping at the men in the toilets. Strapp and Fancey send a message to Sir Roger about the birthmark, and are accosted by Harriet in disguise who tells them to meet Turpin that night at ten o'clock. Meanwhile, Tom tells the local constable that he knows where Turpin will be that night – at the location Harriet told Strapp and Fancey to wait. Thus, they are imprisoned as Turpin and his mate, and Sir Roger is yet again robbed on his way to see the prisoners. However things fall apart when the rector's housekeeper, Martha Hoggett begins to put two and two together when Mrs Giles, apparently sick and used for a cover-up story for Dick's raids, is seen fit and well at the church jumble sale. Later that day, Harriet is caught at the Old Cock Inn where Fancey, Strapp and Daley are meeting and Fancey recognises her as the "man" who conned them into being caught. She is chased into Desiree's room and is told to undress to show the infamous birthmark. However, they soon realise she is a woman and are prepared to let her go, but lock her up after Lady Daley recognises a bracelet that Harriet is wearing as one Turpin stole from her. With the net tightening, the Reverend Flasher gives an elongated sermon before outwitting his would-be captors and making a speedy getaway, with Harriett and Tom, across the border.e-Island-Chapter-26

Watch the video of Sir Roger's lecture here: https://youtu.be/smUYz9ti_bA Sir Roger Penrose, the celebrated English mathematician and physicist as well as author of numerous books, including The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics, joined the Clarke Center to share a talk titled "Fashion, Faith and Fantasy and the Big Questions in Modern Physics" based on his book of the same name. In his book Fashion, Faith and Fantasy and the Big Questions in Modern Physics, Roger Penrose argues that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes productive and even essential in physics, may be leading today's researchers astray in three of the field's most important areas—string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. * **String theory** is a branch of theoretical physics that attempts to unify all of the fundamental forces of nature in a single framework. However, string theory requires the existence of six extra hidden dimensions, which Penrose argues is not physically plausible. He also cautions that the fashionable nature of string theory can cloud our judgment of its plausibility. * **Quantum mechanics** is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. However, Penrose argues that quantum mechanics is based on a number of unproven assumptions, and that it may not be applicable to all physical systems. * **Cosmology** is the study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Penrose argues that many of the current fantastical ideas about the origins of the universe cannot be true, but that an even wilder reality may lie behind them. Penrose concludes by arguing that fashion, faith, and fantasy should be replaced by physics: theories which, although they may be completely wrong, can at least be tested in the foreseeable future and discarded if they disagree with experiment or investigated further if not excluded by the results. The book has been praised by some physicists for its insights into the current state of physics, while others have criticized it for its negative tone and its lack of constructive proposals.

I was delighted to have had this chance to discuss life, physics and everything with my friend Sir Roger Penrose, who endorsed my book Losing the Nobel Prize back in 2018. Well, now Sir Roger has WON the Nobel Prize. We discussed the first popular science book your host Professor Keating ever read: The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics https://amzn.to/306hUG1 and Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness https://amzn.to/2QFbt9M Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford and an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. Penrose has made contributions to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology. He has received several prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems. Penrose sat down with Professor Brian Keating to discuss artificial intelligence, consciousness, cosmology, and the many fascinating developments in physics since the publication of The Emperor's New Mind in 1989.

Days with Sir Roger De Coverley

Known for his camera work on films like "The Shawshank Redemption," "No Country for Old Men," "Blade Runner 2049," and "1917," Deakins is also, as his book "Byways" makes clear, a brilliant and perceptive B&W photographer.

This episode offers a career-spanning chat with Oscar-winning cinematographer, Sir Roger Deakins, and his wife/longtime collaborator, James Deakins. Known for his collaborations with Coen brothers (Fargo), Sam Mendes (1917), and Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049), Deakins began his life in film as a still photographer. He published his first-ever book of photographs, "Byways," in late 2021. Many of those photos (alongside unseen works) are now on view in Tulsa at the recently-opened photography gallery, The Hulett Collection. On view through April 29. 

1854. A shipwreck was found off the coast of Brazil. On board was a young English aristocrat, 25-year-old Sir Roger Tichborne. But his mother, a wealthy dowager, could not accept his death. When, years later, rumors circled that the survivors were taken to Australia, she placed ads in the papers, but heard nothing. Then, over a decade after the shipwreck, an impoverished man emerged from the Australian outback, making the sensational claim that he was in fact the long-lost Sir Roger. It led to scandal, sensation, and one of the most infamous legal battles in 19th-century Britain. So, just who was the claimant? Jack Whicher, legendary Scotland Yard inspector, was determined to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sir Roger Moore died of liver cancer in 2017 at the age of 89. The famously modest and unassuming British actor had been many people's favourite James Bond. Where Sean Connery had played 007 straight, Roger had played him for laughs. He'd identified the joke at the heart of the role – James Bond, the secret agent so familiar that everybody knows his favourite drink. For Roger Moore, Bond was a parody or he was nothing. But Roger's swashbuckling, devil-may-care Bond had belied a life of serious health problems. He was not as robust as the movie image of indestructibility suggested. Roger's life story read like a medical textbook with major ailments at every turn. It had started with near terminal double-pneumonia at the age of five – the doctor had told his father he'd be back in the morning with a death certificate. The son of a south London policeman, Roger had been forced to reinvent himself at RADA - the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art – after being told that his cockney accent wouldn't do. This, coupled with his father's advice to remember that success might be short lived fostered in him a sense of life's precariousness. His international standard hypochondria and almost pathological self-deprecation were the consequence. His critics described his acting as wooden and shallow and deep down, he probably agreed with them. But as his friend, Sir Michael Caine says, making it look easy is the hardest thing. Sir Roger had made friends wherever he had gone, and long before the end of his life had been elevated to the status of National Treasure without ever quite understanding how. World-renowned forensic pathologist Dr Michael Hunter analyses the details of this fascinating case to unearth the truth behind Sir Roger Moore's death. He had suffered years of ill health and fought three different types of cancer but had somehow made it to the age of 89. Maybe there had been more 007 in Sir Roger Moore than he had let on.

Mamy dla Was prawdziwą petardę, która dowodzi, że wszystko jest możliwe. W hotelu, w deszczowych Katowicach, przypominających scenerię filmu „Blade Runner”, usiedliśmy do rozmowy z Team Deakins. Dominik pogadał z maestro Sir Rogerem i jego żona James, która powiedziała nam, że miło dla odmiany zostać przepytanym przez podcastera. Z żywą legendą i zdobywcą dwóch Oscarów pogadaliśmy o robionych przez niego zdjęciach, o poszukiwaniu w fotografii tego, co go zaskakuje i rozśmiesza, a także o tym, jakich rad powinni unikać młodzi filmowcy i – rzecz jasna – o podcaście Team Deakins. Zobaczcie i posłuchajcie, dokąd zaprowadziła nas ta inspirująca rozmowa z autorem zdjęć o wielkiej pasji i jeszcze większej skromności. Wierzymy, że przed nami rozmowy z kolejnymi mistrzami z najwyższej półki. Nigdy nie przyszłoby nam do głowy, że odśpiewamy duetowi Team Deakins refren piosenki Monty Pythona „Always look on the bright side of life”. Pytanie, co zaśpiewamy dla Krzysia Nolana – macie jakieś propozycje? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have for you a big surprise which proves that anything is possible. In a hotel in Katowice, the day was gloomy and rainy, as if the scene was stolen from "Blade Runner". We have sat down to talk with Team Deakins. Dominik spoke with maestro Sir Roger and his wife James, who told us it is a nice change to be interviewed by a podcaster. The living legend and two Oscars winner, has told us about photographs he had taken, as well as finding, in photography, the things which amaze and amuse us. He also shared what pieces of advice should young filmmakers avoid, and moreover, about Team Deakins podcast. Now you can join us and explore where this inspiring interview - with the author whose passion is preceded by his humbleness - has taken us. We strongly believe that there more conversations with stars like them ahead of us. We could never have imagined singing chorus of Monty Pythons “Always look on the bright side of us”for Team Deakins. The question is what should we sing for Chris Nolan….any suggestions? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watch-like-mojo/message

A conversation with Nobel Prize Winner and renowned mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff about consciousness and quantum mechanics. 00:00 Intro 01:00 Happy Birthday to Sir Roger! 05:00 Updates to The Emperor's New Mind 07:00 What about Schrödinger's Cat? Part 2: https://youtu.be/OoDi856wLPM Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff have tackled one of the most vexing problems in science -- how does consciousness work? Their theories of consciousness were selected by the Templeton Foundation for study. We will discuss Is the brain a sophisticated computer or an intuitive thinking device? Following on from their conference in Tucson which pitted Integrated Information Theory (IIT) against Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR), Sir Roger Penrose OM and Stuart Hameroff discuss the current state of theories that might explain human consciousness and objections to them from FQXI and others. Sir Roger Penrose describe examples of ‘non-computability' in human consciousness, thoughts and actions such as the way we evaluate particular chess positions which cast doubt on ‘Turing' computation as a complete explanation of brain function. As a source of non-computability, Roger discuss his ‘objective reduction' (‘OR') self-collapse of the quantum wavefunction which is a potential resolution for the ‘measurement problem' in quantum mechanics, and a mechanism for non-computable physics. Dr. Stuart Hameroff reviews neuronal and biophysical aspects of Orch OR, in which ‘orchestrated' quantum vibrations occur among entangled brain microtubules and evolve toward Orch OR threshold and consciousness. The nature, feasibility, decoherence times and evidence for quantum vibrations in microtubules, their role and correlation with consciousness, effects upon them of anesthetic gases and psychedelic drug molecules will be discussed, along with Orch OR criticisms and predictions of microtubule quantum vibrations as therapeutic targets for mental and cognitive disorders.

The great tragedy, or sadness, for me out of the Nanaia Mahuta revelation is that we are being let down so badly by hopeless people.Forget politics and your personal view of the world, surely what you want in the leadership of your country is enquiring minds, experience, and institutional knowledge. You want people, who even though you may not agree with, at least you can see what they are trying to do and why.One of the great privileges of this job has been to meet everyone who has run this place for the past 40 years, basically from David Lange on.Lange was brilliant. He was bright, well-read, and articulate. Different world view from me, certainly, as it turned out from Sir Roger Douglas, but came to the job with some credentials. Sir Roger himself had a plan, had a vision, and saved this country from economic calamity by floating the dollar and cutting the subsidies.Ruth Richardson. Yes, a purist. But she could back the arguments up with fact, knew what she wanted to do, and had the intellectual heft to make it happen.Helen Clark. Say whatever you like about her, but you can't possibly argue she isn't connected, isn't well read, and understands vast swathes of the world and how it works.Sir John Key. Self-made, been out in the world, understood the markets, money, and therefore the economy like few others.And so they go.Fast forward to Mahuta, who can't even pick up a phone. She was an appointment you knew from day one was odd. You wondered, "How the hell did that happen?" And now, we have evidence of the greatest crime of all, whether in politics or not, the lack of an inquiring mind.The best excuse they can come up with is that's not the way it's done.What crap.What insulting, condescending, and embarrassing crap. When you are in charge, it's done the way you want it done.People who can't be bothered do my head in. I detest laziness. The higher up the pole you are, the more you can do, and that's a privilege. What a thrill to be able to make a difference, to change a course, to be hungry, to grasp the detail, to immerse yourself into something you can affect and improve.And yet look at them.Clare Curran, hopeless and gone. David Clark was sacked for being an idiot. Kris Faafoi is asleep at the wheel and desperate to get out. Phil Twyford is an abject failure. Poto Williams is a disgrace hiding behind a lack of interest and Mahuta-type excuses about operational matters. Mahuta herself is too lazy and disinterested to even pick up a phone.For those of us who long for better, this is a shabby and incompetent let down. Being useless is one thing, but being lazy and useless is the ultimate crime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sebastian Morello, an accomplished student of Sir Roger Scruton, discusses the nature of beauty through the lens of St. Thomas Aquinas and Sir Roger.  

Word pictures are often more vivid than photographs. Steele had a gift for originating characters that are remembered longer than flesh and blood people. Sir Roger de Coverly and Will Honeycomb are now bold figures in literature. (Volume 27, Harvard Classics) First issue of the "Spectator," published March 1, 1711.  

In this special feature-length episode to celebrate reaching the century of episodes, I was lucky enough to chat with one of the biggest names in conducting over the last few decades, Sir Roger Norrington. He was charming, open, honest, fascinating and a joy to spend 90 minutes in the company of. I discovered how being sent to Africa made him decide that he wanted to try to become a professional musician, he was very honest about his system for learning a score, especially his feelings and thoughts on harmony, and it wouldn't have been a discussion with Sir Roger without us becoming very detailed about metronome markings, especially Beethoven's!

In the first of five essay's responding to the BBC's TV series Civilisations, Sir Roger Scruton explores the notion that music might be a civilising force. His response draws on his own boyhood experiences of Classical Music as well as the nuanced thoughts and conclusions of Plato. He also tackles the uneasy relationship between history's less savoury music enthusiasts, Stalin and Hitler, and the lack of any civilising impact it had on them. There are no pat answers to these serious and challenging questions, but Sir Roger's conclusions rely for the most part on his responses to music and the potential he sees in it alongside religion, morality and love in any encounter with darker forces.

Break out those laser guns because we are getting galactic in Episode 7 of The Words Are Not Enough!In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:Tomorrow Never Lies* Daniel Craig wants Monica Bellucci (AKA MILF CITY) to return as the Bond girl for Bond 25 * An anonymous source at the Mirror claims that Daniel Craig wants Monica Bellucci to return as Lucia Sciarra in Bond 25, stating, "He wants Monica Bellucci back, that's for sure.”* Bond 25 is getting galactic and Daniel Craig loves it * Once again coming from the Mirror, rumour has it that tech billionaire noted Bond fan, Elon Musk, has pitched taking Bond 25 into the stratosphere and is said to be developing ideas for a spacecraft; and reportedly Daniel Craig loves it. The anonymous source said the following: * "Bond needs to keep up with the times and will be looking into Elon Musk's world – spacecrafts, planes that can fly across the earth in an hour, cars turning into submarines. That's what we need to include now. Daniel's stunts are going to move to a new level and have to include things shown in space movies like Interstellar. He is involved every step of the way, as he always is, and is bursting with enthusiasm and excitement.” * Speculation that Bond 25 is looking to film in South Africa may also corroborate Musk's involvement.* Christopher Nolan being eyed to take Bond 25 in a “Completely Different Direction” * An "insider" at Hollywood Life has reportedly caught wind that EON wants to take Bond in a radically "different direction" in Bond 25. And apparently, despite various big names being circulated for the covered directing role, Christopher Nolan is producers' Barbra Broccoli and Michael G Wilson top pick to steer the franchise down this new path. The source added that “The producers don't want him to be the ladies' man he has been known for and actually want him to get married. Everyone feels Christopher would be the best to steer the film in the direction they are seeking.” * This is contrary to comments Nolan has previously made regarding a timeline for joining the franchise. * Quantum, Skyfall and Spectre Production Designer returning for Bond 25 * In an interview with ICG magazine, Dennis Gassner, production designer for every Bond film since Quantum of Solace, let slip that he would be returning to the franchise once again in Bond 25. * With franchises, you have to honor the established elements while meeting audience expectations. I'm about to do my fourth James Bond film, and acknowledging the efforts of Ken Adam and others is a big part."* Rory Kinnear OUT for Bond 25? * It seems Rory Kinnear's role as MI6 Chief of Staf Bill Tanner isn't as locked in as one would have thought. In an interview with The Times, Kinnear said, "Each film they make they say yay or nay. But it's been great fun, and an utterly unexpected element of my life. I don't know if I am in the next one, and I never have done until they give you the call." * * Roger Moore's 90th Birthday * October 14th was the late, great Sir Roger Moore's birthday. Rog would have been 90.Q-Branch* Roger Moore honored at Pinewood Studios * To commemorate Sir Roger's birthday, The Roger Moore State was officially opened at Pinewood on Sunday. * Close friends of Moore, including Dame Joan Collins, Sir Michael Caine, and Stephen Fry attended the opening, along with producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.* James Bond Funko Pops coming this December * Discuss the figures, other Bond characters we'd like to see given the Funko treatment, etc.* James Bond Collection coming to Hulu * If you don't own all the Bond movies on blu-ray, never fear, Hulu is getting 21 Bond movies this November — basically all of the official EON... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-words-are-not-enough/support

Larry begins this episode with a tribute to his recently departed Aunt Patty, who was integral in his life growing up, particularly in his appreciation of movies. He then pays tribute to our first fallen James Bond, Sir Roger Moore. After that things get a little less serious as he's joined by Greg O. for an epic Star Wars rant. Don't worry, kids. Dr. Jess is there to offer resistance, which is futile, of course. 

Roger Scruton, the English philosopher, political writer, novelist, composer, etc., has just been knighted. So he is Sir Roger (as he long should have been). Jay points out that, within the past year, he has published four books, at least. The most recent is about Wagner's “Ring” cycle: “The Ring of Truth.” He and Jay end this “Q&A” with a discussion of Wagner. But before that, there is much more... Source
