[Cass talks about her grandmother]
Judith, though, was worth it. Story: she was out for a walk one night and came across this kid spraypainting some anti-Thatcher graffiti on a council wall. “I told him, you, I said, sharpish. Give that here, I said.” And she would have too in that nails-hard voice you just wouldn’t ever want to cross. And she took the spraycan from the kid and slapped his arm and then she fucking rattled it – “They make a little rattle” – and she sprayed in an apostrophe. Christ knows what the kid thought. I checked it out the next day and sure enough, ‘Thatcher’s Britain is HELL’. Fuck I laughed.

Am I A Man Of Principle?
Because I thought I was.
But I have no Homicide: Life on the Street on DVD.
Nor any Freaks & Geeks.
Not even any Twin Peaks.
And yet I seem to have three seasons of Dawson’s Creek on DVD.
This is a sobering moment for me.
