Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

But that's just because women are constantly bemoaning the fact that the obnoxious frog with a dozen character flaws whom they first met and fell for hasn't magically turned into a prince just by virtue of being in a relationship with her.

Vin

 

Mine was the other way round...married a prince, turned into a frog. My rare complaint is that I actually lost a decent husband.

 

Haha, love the metaphor. Maybe I need to go to a Southampton game or two to see the Koeman approach in person!

Tbf, I don't like most RomComs, except for Love Actually (but then who doesn't like that?) although I know it's insanely unrealistic, even by romcom standards and Yes Man, which is a great film, although I didn't think it was a RomCom at first. I wouldn't say Bedazzled is really a RomCom.

And I make a promise now (and you can hold me to it) that if I find someone, and then she dumps me, I promise not to make lots of angsty posts here.

 

Me. Any RomCom is ****ing awful.

 

tbf...you aren't the target audience.

 

True.

 

Love Actually isn't your traditional RomCom though. It's basically a collection of Britain's top actors and actresses linked together through a series of highly unplausible stories. Plus it's Christmas-y and has a fairly decent soundtrack!

 

I enjoyed it...because it was a series of short stories with links. Bill Nighy was fantastic as the aged rocker.

 

There will be gongs been thrown at mirrors and certificates ripped into shreds all round the country (and Monaco/Cannes/Hollywood) as a theatre load of actors wake to the realisation that Hugh Grant has pipped them to the classification of "Britain's Top Actors"

 

Not to mention Martine McCutcheon.

 

I'm talking top is in.... most successful/well known rather than in terms of actual acting ability.

 

I'll just throw Judy Dench and Sean Connery off the top of my head into the most successful/well-known category

 

I can't imagine Sean Connery in a RomCom

 

I couldn't imagine Ribert De Niro in a **** US comedy* movie.

* term used according to sky movie channel categorisation

 

Playing By Heart was a RomCom.

 

That's the most sensible thing you've ever written on this forum.

 

I didn't say I'd be sitting in the home end!

 

Hmm the block who went in with Adam Henning seems dodgy to me. Just seen his interview and to me it seems he was putting it on.

 

Bit of excitement tonight. 3 police cars turning up. Our neighbours are away and I noticed their security light come on and then off again after the short period it is activated for. Wife said neighbours must be home, but I said that the light wasn't on long enough for that so I went out to check. I got to the top of my drive and was but about to reach their gate when I heard a noise. I stopped, noticed the gate was ever so slightly open (they always shut it). I then heard a scrambling and saw a figure clambering over their side gate by the house. I pooped myself and ran back in, locked the door and called the police. As I was calling the police, I was looking out our front bedroom window and could see the silhouettes of two men just walking out of range of the one street lamp that was on.

All a bit edgy for a while as we live right on the edge of a village with not much else around. Police came and checked a few things out but no sign of anyone.

 

I've noticed all the guys who get female attention at the union, 90% of them seem to be blonde. I clearly need to dye my hair. It makes complete senses from a biological point of view, and is the male equivalent of why guys are interested in women with big boobies.
