The Favourite was my, ahem. favourite movie of the year. Wonderful performance from Olivia Colman.

Also enjoyed Widows, A Quiet Place, You Were Never Really There, Three Identical Strangers.

Its been a while since I visited, but its the New Year, and I thought I would take a look.

This year has had its ups and downs. I got a promotion at work in May, which I had been working very long hours to get. […]

That is what I was going to post. Great choice.

This has been an earworm for me the last week or so. I love this performance.

Japan too here, my wife and I went there for our honeymoon. She had lived there for a couple of years teaching English. A truly wonderful place, like no other. I preferred Kyoto to Tokyo. I would go back in a heartbeat.

I loved this book, the way it was structured was excellent. I too, couldn’t put the book down.

Not sure if it is shown in the UK, but Key & Peele is very, very funny.

Big Train was wonderful. Can someone find the Prince vs Antelopes clip. It is surreal genius.

Vinyl was terrible. I made it through the Season, the fact it was cancelled after that was a saving grace.

Agreed

Frasier is my favourite sitcom, but it lags in places. No finer sitcom character than Niles Crane.

Yes, definitely.

The Sopranos, a superlative TV series. Great dialogue and characterization. A show I can re-watch many, many times and find something new.

I was looking to join a football league over here (US) and was directed to the Seniors League.

I will be 42 next month…that ain’t right?!

Yes, yes….Sinnerman is one of my favourite songs ever.

Magnificent.

I would definitely recommend A Life too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke by Roland Reng.
It is the story of Robert Enke, the German international goalkeeper who committed suicide in 2009 at the peak of his […]

I propose “Be My Baby” by The Ronettes.
Pop perfection.
