  1. Miss Lemon! This Pizzeria is in the service of my enemies, yet again the basil on my margarita is wilted and totally flavourless!

    Take a letter Miss Lemon.

  2. @deathmetal ‘Hastings, this round pizza now is an abomination. If I’m to eat this flat bread it at least must have 4 square corners!’

  3. I don’t know if Poirot ever ate Pizza, but I know he’d use a knife and fork

  4. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    I'd add to this his turn as an archaeologist obsessed with discovering the head of John the Baptist in the Poirot episode Appointment with Death. Lots of fun, though completely invented for the TV and not in Christie's book.

  5. CW: Introduction post with lots of hashtags

    New server, new #Introduction, I guess

    I'm an #ActuallyAutistic #Queer person in #Edinburgh, #Scotland. I usually post about my interests or random thoughts in my head. I also often complain about technology around me. I also like to read about sustainability. Trying to keep my #HousePlants alive.

    What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.

    I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.

    I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)

    For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)

    #TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.

    I like to drink #Tea, especially #GreenTea. Enjoy animated shows like #Daria, #Amphibia, #TheOwlHouse, #ScoobyDoo, #GravityFalls, #BobsBurgers, #SpyXFamily, #InvaderZim, #DuckTales, #AvatarTheLastAirbender, old #TheSimpsons, #SpongeBob, and others

    Occasionally watch some #KDrama

    Fan of #sriracha

    For geeks:
    Second hand #ThinkPad user running #FreeBSD with #XFCE. Web browsing in #Librewolf and #links2. #Tabs over #Spaces and I use nano.

  6. A very sharp image on this hotel television, and Poirot always classes the place up.

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@Kalshann/1170

    this tells me people in #Texas don't watch #MidsomerMurders #Poirot #MissMarple #FatherBrown #SisterBoniface or any #brittv #britpop #tv using “faith-based” “non-profit” “foster care” as the motive for murder.

    the Father Brown episode, The Bride of Christ, is devastating even with its light-handed treatment of the separation horrors in birthing hospitals:

    and never forget Sinead O’Connor’s abuse, in foster care, at the Magdalene Laundries

  8. A quotation from Agatha Christie

    A human being, Hastings, cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away.

    Agatha Christie (1890-1976) English writer
    The ABC Murders, ch. 21 [Poirot] (1936)

  10. IN OTHER NEWS
    am hate watching Kenneth Branagh’s Death On The Nile. love the costumes, sets & cinematography. the opening was… a choice? but this story was never meant to have a lovesick #Poirot. i just can't with Branagh’s Poirot.

    also, fuck UK casting directors who feel the need to stick Russell Brand into every fucking movie they wanna upsell to the USA market.

    also² am not sure what to make of French & Saunders as an unfunny lesbian couple.

    the movie is highfalutin candy

  11. Started strong, ended strange. Sophie Hannah’s The Last Death of the Year promises Poirot brilliance on a Greek island but delivers more confusion than clarity. Still, Rhind-Tutt’s narration kept me listening! #Poirot #Mystery #BookReview #ViewsSheWrites

  12. Belgialainen etsivä opettaa englantia. ”Fat is in the flame” = Soppa on valmis. Siis ”tilanne eskaloitui”. #poirot

  13. Siis ilmeisesti on vielä joitain #Poirot -jaksoja, joita en ole ruuhkavuosina tai muulloin nähnyt. Aloin katsoa Maikkarilta. Eniten nautin miljööstä eli #artdeco tyylistä. Suomessa kai sanotaan #jugend yleensä. Tarinat nyt on, mitä on.

  14. TIL that #AgathaChristie wrote the final #Poirot novel, Curtain, and the final Miss Marple novel, Sleeping Murder, during the Second World War, reputedly during the 1940 Blitz. She wanted to make sure her readers were not left without closure in case she didn't survive the war.

    She wrote other novels after the war, so when these were published (Curtain before her Death, Sleeping Murder after) they were not in chronological order of writing.

    🫎 Im Homeoffice schrecklich chaotisches Projekt zuende gebracht. Kann morgen also frisch starten.
    🫎 Nach Hunderunde gemütlich gedaddelt und Kinotermin klar gemacht.
    🫎 #Poirot. Poirot geht immer.
