Well.... I can do you round=curled up, round =rotund and round =fluffed out... enjoy!

Frankly bonkers - the film AND the lost weekend had by those Romantics - Howard Brenton's slightly earlier play Bloody Poetry works a bit better for me as an account of those events and more of their lives...(never filmed as far as I know). There is also a spectacularly fun and uber-bonkers...

Do you think they could be persuaded to stay home more and watch Blazing Saddles every day till they get the point? It would keep them off the street, out of bad company and out of my way - plus if they try really hard to get it we might let them watch Blues Brothers next...

Thanks for that Doc, hadn't seen it before. Update: what was being planned for the State Visit: Further update: BBC reports number 10 now denying any official cancellation of the visit... wonder which President will be meeting which PM in due course?

Good grief, you're right! I cherish it for what it is and the nostalgia it brings along, bonkers warehouse and campus action sequences and John Hurt in a poncho, claiming to be from Leeds... oh yes - handy hints for defrosting the fridge, too.

SUCH a shame to learn that the current incumbent of the White House has chickened out of his invite for a State Visit - he could have enjoyed samples of our robust Pythonesque sense of humour every day he was here...

I know they say that, but the real reason is that they couldn't make it because they're not Mel Brooks - that job is taken - and no one needs to re-make it because the original will never fade and doesn't need to be "re-booted" in the first place. Though I'm very much looking forward to seeing...

More of an "are" than a "were" - I do love getting stuck into the also-rans of the golden age of British detective fiction just as much as I do the grandes dames Allingham, Christie and Sayers. Although I take almost all my pleasures guilt-free there are aspects of political incorrectitude in...

Must be hard for a post-cancer-scare veteran of musical cinema to accept she'd only be a token presence, rather than a creative asset. Can't blame her, really.

Yes! But did you ever have the chance to see it on the big screen - it's terrifying! Till I went to my very first all-night science-fiction marathon and saw those TEETH as big as Stonehenge boulders I never understood why my mum told me she'd hidden under the seat and never saw the ending the...

Thanks, Michael - would dearly love to see it all again, as a "grown up", because I think there were levels I was missing out on, although around that time I was 100% I Claudius was the business.

Can't be - what would be the bloody point? It can't be improved, doesn't need to be cloned so what the hell is going on?

Amazingly amazing - how do you know all this, my friend? Both witty, hilarious and really spooky (and that's just YOU)... happy weekend, Doc.

My gut tells me this somehow connects with The Lotus Eaters and I don;t want to cheat by looking it up - I want to REMEMBER Dammit!

Christmas Day - so everywhere will be closed and it will earn ZERO on its opening day and all shall be well with the Ghosts of Xmas Mockney

If you thought the last Tory coalition was pants let's see how long till this proposed DUP balls-up frays at the gusset.

Well, at her age she's allowed - it's the fact that Sean Lennon the "beautiful boy" is now 41 that makes me feel a bit older than I'd like

It's a dinky little hover-mower, brand name Flymo, that buzzes along spinning its tiny plastic rotor blades beneath. Does everything I need it to do for the wee patches of suburban lawn at my mum's place - but lordy! I'd love to have a go one day on a great petrol guzzling situpon mowing monster...

I'm way out of my league here - that's some heavy-duty kit Mad Max type you are talking about, I'm impressed. To let you down gently into my word of mowing, my gubbins: is more on the scale of this: I replace the odd dinky plastic blade every time it meets a rock or twig it can't stomach and...

That's a shedload of Beasts when you think about it - probably a magic shed, then. I believe one of JK's plans is to visit magic traditions around the world, celebrating diversity, imagination and thrills and no doubt already ready to act as presiding tongue-in-cheek caller on the offenderati's...
