    Fun Physical Exercise

    Mine is orange. And a bit knackered with age, use and decrepitude.

    Review Sony Announces ‘Clean Version’ Initiative

    I'm puzzled though, because many of the titles I recognise from Doc O's list here are kids'/ family films anyway - am I missing something trans-Atlantic here perhaps? (Oh. And maybe no-one at Sony knows the old chestnut: is sex dirty? Only if you do it right.) Perhaps we should respond by...

    Review Sony Announces ‘Clean Version’ Initiative

    Cheering words as I head off for my beauty sleep - must make sure I put my X in the right box tomorrow - at least democracy English style means we need to do our voting in school halls and the like so kids get a bonus day's holiday. It's all very low tech with pencils tied to the booths with...

    Fun Physical Exercise

    You are so totally right - for the first time ever this year I am paying a deserving student (granddaughter of my next-door neighbour) to keep mine trimmed till I get back at the end of term... but then I'm back on it, and there are other gardening aerobics to factor in: decimation of dandelions...

    Review Sony Announces ‘Clean Version’ Initiative

    Not so long as there are wise folk like you who can put together such a sterling sentence. (And should your current president happen this way, it would be nice to think he could usefully spend an hour or so looking up the trickier words and then contemplating the actual meaning thereof.) Hang on...

    Review Sony Announces ‘Clean Version’ Initiative

    I look forward to this initiative spreading to other media, and one day being able to enjoy listening to The Complete Derek and Clive: about 2 minutes of random prepositions

    Review Twin Peaks (1990)

    True, but I don't really think that would stop Mr Lynch - remember where Bob was last time we saw him?

    Bring on the cherry pies - one to eat NOW, one to hand for throwing at the first sighting of Bob...

    Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)

    NO, but you've given me a quest to track it down - thanks for the recommendation.

    Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)

    Shame we can't do a trade-off - that's one I managed to miss.

    Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)

    Mmm - such happy memories of taking a very early train to London with college friends, to sit on the steps of the Royal Court all one very long sunny day, to get day tickets for his Hamlet. DAMN! Might be fair to say I've never recovered, but everything he does, from that, and Comedians right...

    Fun J.K. Rowling

    J.K. also fires off the occasional unbeatable tweet for the limited attention span of the current occupant of the White House.

    Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)

    Too true, but from Jabberwocky and Time Bandits to Tideland and Dr Parnassus he's got my vote - what are your favourites, if I might ask?

    Fun Mission Impossible (1966)

    Just - nothing with Tom Cruise, OK? - I find him truly annoying and the format overstretched to full-length films. But mainly Cruise - shiny twerp.

    Review The Limehouse Golem (2016)

    Fun times ahead!

    Information Possible Terrorist Attack At Concert in UK (Warning: Bad Language)

    Laddie, I'll show you a good time in Manchester any time you like - you and Mrs Metal and the junior Metals included - actually I'll be working over summer (fingers crossed) and beyond for Manchester University Press so expect I'll soon have even better contacts for even better times. Keep you...

    Review House of Cards (2013)

    Sorry to take so long, petal - I've been out of circulation a while - think this was it: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/may/21/robin-wright-trump-he-took-all-house-of-cards-good-ideas

    Fun That Place of Historical Interest You Went To...

    Take that with a pinch of salt my friend - and I don't mean his good noshing intentions - but the likelihood of a decent chip-shop within a hungry man's radius of a transAtlantic flight is doubtful. If - BIG IF - your pal is flying to a non-London airport the chances are better; north (haddock)...

    Fun What Makes You Happy?

    Or even the Forum, if you don't have the decency to acknowledge the post ahead of yours. This pain is because of you and your spiteful behaviour, little man. Show some conscience and acknowledge your lack of good manners once and for all.
