A minge, a cocksucker, a cretin, a plankton. All in the space of four days.

@AllHellLetLoose thanks for giving me brb's mobile.

 

I’ve just seen @AllHellLetLoose at Eltham Palace on Antiques Roadshow.

Standing in a very long queue to see Fiona, and to get an expert to value what looks like a vintage dog’s blanket ?

Or maybe he’s just taken his best jacket off & has draped it over his arm - it looks a hot day.

In fact it was my 60 year old Elephant Tusk... she said it was the largest she has ever seen

 

Me and my sex doll

 

anyone seen a handmaids tale? - very good show. lots of it to watch too if you want something to binge on.

 

Watched the first series, thought it should have ended there. Likewise Killing Eve.

 

someone else has recommended that too. i'll give it a go.

 

I recommend Summer of Rockets, just finished. Anything on telly by Stephen Poliakoff is a rare treat.

 

i'll add it to the list after killing eve. cheers!

 

Federer vs Nadal to come. What's not to like.

 

Tennis

 

Tennis is far too upper class.

I can forgive Rugby Union for the same fault, because the players really get stuck in and enjoy hurting each other.
Now we have banned fox hunting, Rugby is the finest expression of the healthy blood-lust of old school toffs.

 

PS (back on topic)

I watched the movie Slaughterhouse Rulez recently.
Was hoping for a well observed and witty satire about Public School life. Should have known better.

 

Andrew Neil is BBC's jewel in the crown. They should let him have his show at whatever time he wants.

 

Mamma Mia-Here we go Again{2018} is on now.

I'll post again in another two hours.

 

Gardner's World on now

 

I always enjoy watching Newsnight ...not least because I work with most of the people who appear on it.

@Beware of the Virus feels the same about Play School.

 

I miss Crimewatch.

Day in, day out, every news bulletin is packed with reports of crime going on.
I'm not saying CW was a perfect show; it had its flaws. But Crimewatch was about the only programme that conveyed how hard some people were working to actually fight crime.

Now the general impression is that criminality has won.
It's a lifestyle choice now, like life-long drug abuse and living on benefits - while about 3 in every 4 police stations have closed and there's about 14 beat coppers left in the whole country.

The intro sequence to the 6:30 BBC London News (a short video collage supposedly representing inclusive urban life in London) includes a shot of somebody spray painting a giant graffiti tag on a wall somewhere.
So vandalism of that kind is now an accepted part of life in London, at least according to the spotty 'right on' IT graduates who compile these pointless little video sequences at the expense of licence fee payers.

 

Help run the country, @Royston Vasey could not run a bath.
