"I thought we got rooms to ourselves," said Teppic.
Chidder, who had laid claim to the least exposed bed in the whole refrigerator, nodded at him.
"Later on," he said. He lay back, and winced. "Do they sharpen these springs, do you reckon?"
Teppic said nothing. The bed was in fact rather more comfortable than the one he'd slept in at home. His parents, being high born, naturally tolerated conditions for their children which would have been rejected out of hand by destitute sandflies.

So I'm reading Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe, this book is about the IRA and the troubles in Northern Ireland during the seventies and eighties. Anyway looking a bit ahead of the book I saw a picture of Stephen Rea (from movies like The Crying Game, V for Vendetta, Interview with the Vampire, The Company of Wolves and many others) with Dolours Price one of the main subjects of the book who was responsible for a series of car bombings in London in the 70s, and even after going to prison she was a very controversial public figure due to the hunger strikes and Margaret Thatcher's involvement in her release.
Seeing the picture I thought she was probably a consultant for the movie The Crying Game after she got out of prison and maybe that's a photo of them during production?
But no, I reached that part of the book and they didn't work together.
HE MARRIED HER.
And he was already a pretty well known actor at this point. Like wtf. How didn't anyone told me that oscar nominee Stephen Rea was married for 20 years with a convicted terrorist?

One of Nanny Ogg's hidden talents was knowing when to say nothing. It left a hole in the conversation that the other person felt obliged to fill.
