Hamlet commented on the post, The Conservative Party are imploding on purpose 1 week, 3 days ago
The Angela Rayner issue is, quite nakedly, designed to deflect, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be true. Her former neighbours – not exactly red trouser-clad Tories – seem pretty sure of her living arrangements. […]

Blur surely don’t need the cash. Don’t go to the desert and play to bored Americans who don’t even know your songs.

Hamlet commented on the post, Ripley 2 weeks ago
I actually thought it was deliberate casting – an androgynous appearance adding to the questions of identity. Or am I overthinking it and missing the irony of an offspring of a multi-millionaire playing a rich, spoilt type?

I posted on another thread about this, not knowing this thread was here! I thought Andrew Scott was terrific in this, and I think it worked with him being older than Matt Damon’s portrayal: it seemed like a l […]

I really enjoyed Ripley – I thought Andrew Scott was terrific in it.

Whatever you think of Take That, I can’t recall a band they’ve reformed and been miles better than their original incarnation. Back for Good – from the original five – is great, in my opinion, by the way!

Worth skipping to about 3 mins in to see Reece Shearsmith’s outtakes. Probably funnier than the actual show:

Yep, Rubber Soul just feels more mature. The writing just gets better and better – it’s their 6th LP, and it’s still fresh.

Ha, only without Wisdom’s talent, young Jaygee! He only kept the inane gurning.

Strange: nothing else in Williams’ behaviour suggests he’s a solipsistic cretin with the intellectual and emotional intelligence of a half-deflated lilo. Oh, wait…

What an absolutely lovely bloke he was. Very sad news.

The killer is the general knowledge round, as quite a few gentlemen of a certain age get unstuck when the answer is Stormzy or Ed Sheeran. A mate of mine applied to Mastermind a few years back (he’s a C […]

Given the conditions of his incarceration, it’s not a great surprise, but it’s genuinely upsetting news.

Bobb Trimble is very niche – I’ve never met anyone who’s heard of him. This is lovely, though (great album sleeve, too):

I was practically groomed to enjoy Wodehouse; I found him slightly witty at best. Chumley Twatty had gotten into a scrape over a policeman’s helmet…ooh, hilarious. Given his war record, had he been working cla […]

I’ve listened to the Guardian Football Weekly for years…until recently. For an Oxbridge-educated fella, Max overuses the word ‘like’ in a way my 13-year-old niece would find embarrassing. The guests all clearly […]

Hamlet commented on the post, Charming behaviour from the artist onstage 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve read a few of Stuart Maconie’s books, and he always comes across as a decent/balanced sort of cove. He’s rarely hysterical in his criticism of anyone…but he was pretty scathing about Ray Davies.
