Hamlet commented on the post, Back To The Future is surely the most perfect film of all time 1 day, 7 hours ago

It’s perfect and I love it.

I initially misread that as ‘self-proclaimed dildo’, which is more accurate, in fairness.

Anyone remember dear old Pamela trying to grope/de-trouser poor old Nick Owen on TVAM? She’d get a short prison sentence for that, these days.
Hamlet commented on the post, Graham Linehan got suspended from twitter 1 week, 6 days ago

There’s certainly a link between social media (of which Twitter is a part of) and mental health issues.

I’ve very rarely ever had a falling out on any online medium, but this could simply be because I lack the […]

You know how if, in real life, you met someone who had a different opinion to yours, and even though you didn’t agree with them, you wouldn’t be aggressive/want to deny them the chance to have an opinion? Wel […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Charles Paris Mysteries 2 weeks, 1 day ago

Probably my favourite show anywhere – radio or tv. Jeremy Front deserves a lot of credit for adapting Simon Brett’s books, as he brings them up to date without being glaringly contemporary.

You’re totally rig […]
Hamlet commented on the post, 30 years! 2 weeks, 2 days ago

I could be wrong, but didn’t little Leo get back on TOTP in 2006 (not long before the show ended)? That remix of his old song got to number 1. I have visions of him prancing about, but they could simply be vivid […]

I was at the one in St. Helens last week. I agree: it’s stunning. It’s amazing how so many people in the area don’t know it’s there.
Hamlet commented on the post, The best Rough and Rowdy review so far 3 weeks, 3 days ago

I wasn’t around for Dylan’s initial burst of fame, but I’ve always been an admirer of his. I’ve given his recent stuff a listen, and I find it pretty poor. If he’d stopped recording in the 70s, he’s still be a […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Your Top 10 Football Kits 3 weeks, 4 days ago

I bought a retro version of the England 82 top – I bloody loved that kit.

I wore the retro jersey in the pub to watch England in their 2014 World Cup matches against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. I wore it […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Your Top 10 Football Kits 3 weeks, 5 days ago

I can’t put them in order of preference, but here are my faves.

Torino home kit 93/94: a classic Italian kit that keeps it simple.
QPR home 84/85: the Guinness kit. Strange how a booze-based sponsor can […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Tawny Pipit or Maltese Falcon? Pink Flamingos or To kill a Mockingbird? The Eagle has landed or Hitch's Birds? Time to crow about your cinematic comfort zone. 1 month, 1 week ago

Another bravo for My Favourite Year. An amazing comic turn by O’Toole, but it’s rather touching as well.
Hamlet commented on the post, Ever made up a mnemonic? 1 month, 2 weeks ago

When I taught English, we used to have mnemonics for the top ten trickiest spellings. One that always stuck with me was for diarrhoea: Dining In A Rough Restaurant, Hurry Or Expect Accident.
This has saved me […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Artists who do not appear on their own track 1 month, 2 weeks ago

You’re right, Count, but on the 2005 charity reissue, the song was credited as Tony Christie feat. Peter Kay. How he features is a mystery, considering the song was recorded before he was born.
He’s in the vid […]
Hamlet commented on the post, Courtney Love and Liverpool 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Liverpool is much cheaper than Manchester for a pint. Anyone know why this is?
Not that I’m missing pubs or anything….

By the way, Courtney Love seems to have gained some musical credibility because of who s […]
Hamlet wrote a new post, The best reason for leaving a band 2 months ago

With the sad death of Florian Schneider, I was reminded today that he left Kraftwerk over an argument about a bicycle pump.
I seem to recall that Mickey Rourke turned down a role in a major 80’s film because he d […]
Hamlet commented on the post, New Rolling Stones Single 2 months, 2 weeks ago

I thought it actually WAS a cover of Rocks at first. What a lawsuit that would make: a band ripping off the Stones suing the Stones for ripping them off…
Hamlet commented on the post, Artists better in a band than solo 2 months, 3 weeks ago

The Byrds: Mr Tambourine Man
Jonny Marr: Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Deffo Manfred Mann: If You Gotta Go….and Mighty Quinn.
Even bloody UB40 and Robert Palmer’s version was easier on the ear than Dylan […]

Another up for Photograph by Ringo: great song.
Hamlet commented on the post, Hair piece 3 months ago

As a man who, for genetic reasons, is forced to wear his hair fashionably close to the head, I can never understand men who go for the number one when they still have a full head of hair. I’m no fan of Jonathan R […]
