Yes - sometimes just a ten-minute top up of a You Tube Tucker swearathon can put a bad day right before a drop has been poured.

Pretty much - some ladies' present had Wedding Hats that had survived (1) a snowy day (2) moderate tipsiness but failed outright at the "jumps to the left" - milinary massacre because no one stopped to pick them up...real feathers flying :emoji_yum:

I knew 2 good friends were heading for a sublimely happy marriage when they chose it as their First Dance at their wedding.

Which is surprising, as you seemed to be fretting over developments in an apparently interminable science-fiction cashcow. Key word, fiction. Key implication, optional. OK, reject the alternative (pretend) reality I offered you by way of comfort and consolation, but don't pretend any of it...

Star Wars is a film (called Star Wars) - I can count to one - I saw it for the first time many moons ago (one moon at a time of course) and I like it very much. This "franchise" of which you speak means nothing to me, and Han, of course, shot first - how could it be otherwise? So nothing went...

I'm a bit out of my depth - maybe other people will know more - but they're new to me, shame.

Yes, but I'd expect no less of her - same college as me - must be the only explanation, it turns out such blowsy and robust broads!

Nope, can't remember well enough myself so I'll take your word for it - now I'll have to check by watching the whole thing. Although I'm 200 miles from the VCR and box of tapes, so it'll take a while. But thanks for the reminder of how weird-but-good it is!

Catching up on missed episodes of The Last Leg - just boggling at Ed Miliband's stellar performance for one thing - get back in the game you silly man!

Crikey! Those are very specific nasties to have written in the first place, aren't they? The first might have caused problems in censorship, the second seems superfluous to requirements and the third I took as implied and maybe didn't need to see on screen. Not that what remains is in anyway...

It must have been a hugely long film to start with then - somewhere in a box I have a video of it taped from TV - as I recall the story seemed complete, so I wonder what kind of material was cut - any ideas?

You admirable maniac! In the good old days of the Being Human boards (lovely bunch of maniacs, proud to be one of them) we had synchronised rewatches of episodes on DVD - worked up fine heads of lunacy by doing so. I don't have any of those streaming channels and I bet non Brits find it hard to...

Yes, oh yes! So why is it Man About the House (and probably soon Robin's Nest) getting repeats on channel high number, I wonder? There's clearly room for a Carpenter channel all of his own - it would make me very happy, nostalgic and full of beer.

Maybe view it as a chance to refurbish Mrs Metal's threads AND do the manly mouse-hunter exterminator thing - there is no down side to this (except strain on finances and stress from potential rodent aggression). OK so that's 2 down sides, but it's a toughie. New closet from IKEA might do it?

Funny, just watched the last episode of Timeless last night - hope it comes back for a second series and really Gets Its Act Together next time... However - me to Shakespeare's London 1598-99 (he's writing Henry V, which I'm lecturing on next week) but also planning the big move across the...

Good grief - looks complicated but it's CARROT! Oh, now I want to watch The Detectives again, and sing his Magic Roundabout till a teacher tells me to stop it NOW.

Although as a snappy stage name for a future Eurovision winner, it might have my vote (look, one year I voted for Bulgaria on the strength of their dynamic use of wind-chimes - and, regrettably, I was stone cold sober at the time. I do hope we'll have a Eurovision thread in due course.

What? When? Who? Title sadly means nothing to me (Golden Shot yes, Golden Girls ditto) - but your description fills me with envy and admiration - a show ripe for revival maybe?

Love it! But have found it very odd to watch back-to-back with University Challenge - one is straightforward general knowledge, although touch stuff, but Only Connect is a crafty weasel of a quiz, where I'm chuffed out of all proportion if I ever get anything right at all! But I'm getting better...

Glaswegian just has to be one of the best accents to rage and swear in, and well worth the effort you are putting into mastering the nuances! It was the great Sir Terry Pratchett who observed that all good swearing has an international component - but when you get round to the spinoff film In...
