That film has been highly recommended to me but I’ve never made the effort to seek it out. It’s not that well known in the UK. Is it good?

“Omnishambles” is a particularly memorable one from relatively recently.

I agree, you’ve put it very well there.

I have a religious background but I’m not religious now and I don’t consider Christmas to be particularly religious. But cathedrals and carol services are great things.

I like Christmas. Yes, it’s arbitrary and you could have a “family festival” any time of the year. And yes, the commercialism of it is a bit grating. As are some of the songs. But I think it’s healthy to be forced […]

I need to chip in on the subject of Green Wing. I hate it and I never found it funny. Am I missing something??

It’s not like I don’t like smart, edgy comedy. And I like a lot of stuff the cast have appeared in. […]

I like that one! I chortled.

My FAVOURITE comedy is The Thick of It. But it’s more caustic and witty than funny.

I think the FUNNIEST show has to be Father Ted. It set a very high bar for quotability and belly laughs.

I tend to favour […]

This Country, yes. One of my favourites of recent years.

Well I like both….

And The Ballad of John and Yoko I think, for taking the lord’s name in vain.

Speaking of the Beatles, I remember there was a BBC radio series in 1990 presented by Simon Mayo about the life of John Lennon, quite […]

Fully agree. It’s horrible, isn’t it? I think it’s so much worse in the USA though. It’s just depressing, the death of the gentleman politician.

25 years since Anthology 1! Wow, there’s a thought.

I salute anyone with the drive to continue seeking out new music in 2020. I have spent this year leaning on old familiar ways. Comfort listening.

Word.

What is/was “the dope thread”?! I must have missed that.

What’s amazing is that his supporters are still rooting for him and maintaining the line that the election was a scam. It’s depressing that that line has stuck now. There will be people ten, twenty, thirty years […]

I’ve always had a problem living up to the male stereotype and I’m not a man’s man. I hate football and especially football talk. I’ve never liked beer. I don’t like cars and I would have to think to even tell you […]

I like early mornings but I probably go to bed too late. I have a kind of anxiety thing I suppose, where I hate closing the lid on the day while feeling I haven’t achieved everything I should have achieved that […]

Very sensible. But temptation looms in the twilight hours. Who can resist a bit of telly or a wee browse on the Afterword before bed?
