Tonight, the final 2 episodes of Broadchurch because I missed the penultimate one the previous week - I narrowly avoided spoilers at a do last night, but happened to mention I was behind and a collective intake of colleagues' breath suggested they'd just been talking about the big finish before...

Arrgh! I just googled it and got ILLUSTRATIONS! Not at all happy - my head tells me on first sight that it solves the chicken OR egg snack/ sandwich filling dilemma but my heart, mind, soul and stomach lining all disagree with added gak! Was once with a Chinese pal in a Chinese supermarket. I...

Couldn't agree more! Wonder if they'll every do a "positively final" reunion episode like IT Crowd one day? I would love to hear Bernard's views on Kindle for starters....

Likewise, great to be back here! New hair (shorter, redder... sorry, that's a bit girlie). Easter officially opens my gardening season so I traded laptop for a wholesome selection of appropriate poisons and botanical weaponry and got on to the offensive. Easter Monday was a bit breezy and I got...

Don't we all, sweetie! Love my Easter bunny chorus line, too! Hope you're well... talk soon

And it really, really wasn't Han that didn't shoot at all. (?)

Yeah, but we've all had days of feeling like that, why not him?

So do you keep it bagged and pristine and go back for a regular copy for actually reading?

Way back in the day I loved Andy Pandy on "Watch With Mother" (today's tiny wees what do they know? The BBC has a whole channel just for the pre-schoolers). My mum sent away to a magazine for a pattern for a cutout stitch and stuff Andy Pandy, which I loved, but turned out a bit wonky in the leg...

Thanks! Once you spell it out it makes complete sense. Not quite as dangerous to my bank account as proper old-school 2nd hand bookshops, but yes - I think they all use a subliminal signal on the "never leave us, keep buying lovely stuff" frequency. Also, being a modestly mature and sturdy...

In a curry-creating emergency, I've resorted to tinned rather than none at all. Since I grew up enough to have a freezer, frozen spinach nuggets are better when it just has to be a saag aloo. Seeker said: I don't like bologna either. (Sorry, petal, I've forgotten how to do quoting 2 comments in...

Thanks for the encouragement - err, I'm just back from laptop-free Easter break, so a bit rusty, but I I can't for the life of me figure out what it is you are recommending I do here, but it sounds a bit too strenuous for one quite so full of Hot Cross Buns, and possibly illegal in Greater...

Ages since I saw it - it is good but it's not Baby Jane. It's like trying to compare apples with other, slightly less appley apples.

I've got a 3-hour seminar on Henry V next week - I'll let you know how it goes. <deep breaths, controls burbling excitement...>

Do we still get to blame George Lucas for the merchandising thing?

I think that commissioning editors in the US must aim for the lowest common comedy denominator to try to sell shows a widely as possible - there's so much more of you lot than us. And BBC and Channel 4 aren't altogether trapped into making profits like full-on commercial TV, so really can take...

@chainsaw_metal1 Me again - well, we gave you Wallace and Gromit, you gave us Shrek and Toy Story... honours about even? What do you think of Chicken Run?

Nothing at all wrong with them (never said there was) - have to say I've never tried spinach and artichoke, but I'm extremely partial to Greek spinakopeta - apologies for crap spelling to anyone Greek who knows better. My mum did smashing cheese and onion, and bacon and egg ones, but called them...

Be soothed! I count nine of the shows you list as having blatant heterosexual plotlines. 2 of them I don't know - Pippen and The Fantasticks - and the 2 Jesus-based ones which, err, don't cover Da Vinci Code areas of spuriousness, so lack raunchiness). Double check your orientation...

Utterly fun - but an unfortunate waste of Bill Bailey I thought - he and that crew should return some time with further adventures. I was giggling, blubbing and cheering the plane through the Vortex, I think it's one of my very favourite Christmas episodes - and nobbling Narnia is always a...
