  1. From a while back - Car Share. Recommended and brilliant work on the premise of 90% of each episode being 2 people in a car. Peter Kay is a national treasure. . .
  2. Maybe too British/Welsh for you lot. Not the greatest and the premise is just an excuse for a Life On Mars style then versus now culture clash comedy, but quite funny all the same and (a) I'm a sucker for anything filmed around my old hometown (b) I really did have P.E. teachers like that. . . P.S. Also a nice touch that king of the 70s theme tunes Mike Post did the Mammoth theme tune. P.P.S. As a result of binging those 3 episodes (new series coming in 2025) I then got into The Socially Distanced Sportsbar podcast (it started during the Covid period) fea
  3. You mean the Christmas Special Holy Grail one - really good watch. Meanwhile .
  4. Recent easy watch BBC TV series I quite enjoyed - Ludwig. I think you liked Jonathan Creek so you would like that.
  5. Those cruise things normally hold no interest to me (I find the set-up a bit socially intimidating), but it has just come to my attention that Emmylou is on this one. With that line-up there could be some all time special collaborations (at least to my ears). I think not much has surfaced online from past trips, but I really hope to see/hear something of this one (err - Sue? Tweedy Shanty Show special snippets? Pretty please?).
  6. The Phantom of the Open A slight Sunday afternoon style watch in the vein of Eddie The Eagle etc. that I stumbled upon by accident but stuck with purely because of Mark Rylance.
  7. This weekend - Sierra Ferrell. When Emmylou leaves this planet, at least I've found someone to perhaps plug the yawning hole. I Can Drive You Crazy is my pick at the moment.
  8. Blossoms infatuation still going. Meanwhile, this weekends infatuation is :- (Crap video though)
  9. I can understand how your quill on parchment scratchings must have made you nervous of repercussions. Scroll secure in leather cylinder. Check. Ta.
  10. You're right. Very weird and unintentional. Dostoevsky looks like he's still got snow on his boots, as they say. Now back to sniffing the Tippex.
  11. Ta. Last night was night 1 of 4 for Dostoevsky's The Idiot adaptation on the radio. Good kind of comedy of manners so far. Another one who's better than that Checkhov garbage (to use a word that's suddenly in vogue it seems). I also had a joke about Chekhov's phaser not pistol, but I'll leave that for now. Some variations on other Jesus + abbreviations that might work as a song title:- Jesus fomo Jesus tbd Jesus rofl
  12. A special seated Ta from my plush table for one. I have just finished some ham and cheese sandwiches as I was reading by the way. They did not quite size up to a tower though. P.S. Imagine paying circa 850 quid for a ticket and then having the performer heckle you throughout the performance.
  13. Ta. Synchronicity - in the last few weeks I’ve heard a couple of Checkov plays on the radio - The Seagull and apparently his first work whose name I can’t remember. I’ve never read his work. I was extremely disappointed. It seems to be all minor bourgeoisie on their rural estates moaning about not having enough money, falling in love with younger women (often whilst being married), and then shooting themselves. Big dissappointment. Based upon my radio play history of ‘the classics’, I’m much more of a Zola fan. P.S. I hardly read fiction.
  14. Ta. A delay is fine - makes for a more chilled reading on a weekend instead of a sneaky one while supposedly working (though I suppose tea breaks are a mandatory workers right). Also, what I've realised is that as avid a reader of your reports as I am, I don't know (or remember) what a good third of the songs on the setlist sound like.
  15. Ta. Now back to my new second daily ritual of a Blossoms pubcast episode. I'm about 11 months behind but will catch up eventually. Next week (11 months ago) they hit LA apparently.
  16. I am really loving these guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBXHS8g82rE&list=PLU-gtlSF2YaO0qRP-E2Ot3LaPfqIhH3h9&index=25 Not my fave band purely on musical criteria, but could now be my fave band on all other measures.
  17. This should lift your spirits today - Blossoms new single. Just getting into them, even though those trousers should remain consigned to history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxDRg8JKcnA They also seems to have a pubcast thing that really p***** all over The Tweedy Show. I'm going to have to work my way through these . . . Suppose if they get too big they'll not have the time any more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJDTJRXvGsk&list=PLU-gtlSF2YaO0qRP-E2Ot3LaPfqIhH3h9&index=23 17:40 - Commenting on negative YouTube comments to their v
  18. He was finally about to play The Unwelcome Guest but ran out of time before the curfew?
  19. Aah to sink into the warm comforting blanket of a Bbop concert review on a Sunday afternoon with a mug of tea in hand. Ta.
