I saw an episode of Frasier today where the B-plot was Niles showing off on a Segway and everyone being really jealous.

We're much more used to unconventional looking celebrities, plus a combination of don't judge a book by its cover, "if he was actually as creepy as he seems they'd never allow him on TV, surely?" and his carefully constructed smokescreen of charitable work. Harmless eccentricity has been a staple of British celebrity for so long, when you have someone who's not actually harmless they blend in more than you might think.

It's confused by the fact that Roma and Irish Travellers are both often called gypsies and there's definitely crossover between the traveller community and 'carnies'. Whether or not travellers are a race is irrelevant. They're recognised as a distinct ethnic group who experience routine prejudice and discrimination, which is often defended or overlooked because they happen to have light skin.

Knopfler has said in many interviews it's literally stuff he overheard someone say in an appliance store once

And Fairytale of New York being McColl's most celebrated work is almost as tragic as her death

I saw an episode of the Simpsons the other day that was an episode long parody of 24. To say it has not aged well is an understatement

J Michael Straczynski likes to give characters the initials JS, it's just a thing he does

Doctor Spaceman posted:

DS9 had lots of actors like that, although not really any with her level of fame.

Louise Fletcher had an Oscar from playing Nurse Ratched, probably the closest comparison
