El Loro http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b065rn7t It's a repeat from 2 years ago. The play by Keith Waterhouse was originally played by Peter O'Toole on stage and is available on DVD as a performance was filmed. There is a warning for strong language. Although it was broadcast in the afternoon, the watershed rules for television do not apply to radio provided that a warning is given. If it was given a BBFC certificate it would presumably get a 15 as the Peter O'Toole DVD does. [ more ]

BAFTA Awards Tonight at 9:00pm

Eugene's Lair Ah, well: only 1 right on the last 3, as I seriously underestimated the love in the Academy for "La La Land". Usually these movie awards ceremonies are very predictable with the favourites always winning. That was mostly the case tonight, but I was still really pleased to see both Dev Patel and "Kubo and the Two Strings" win. As for the other results: I'm still up on the night, so no worries. [ more ]

El Loro If anyone still has a Betamax player there are still a few tapes you can get from Amazon. For instance a Paul McCartney amphibian animated song featuring an ursine character: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ruper...amp;keywords=betamax [ more ]
Saint Meanwhile car manufacturers are removing CD players in preference to digital download (MP3) Customer choice should be the buzz word here (at the risk of sounding American) [ more ]
Eugene's Lair I appreciate that the numbers involved are very small, but leaving aside exclusive releases, I can't understand why anyone nowadays would buy their music on cassette. If you really want to play it on retro equipment like a Walkman, buy it in another format and copy it over. One of my big regrets is that as a teenager I bought too much of my music on tape. My main music source was a "ghettoblaster" and I used to repair Walkmen as a hobby so it seemed a natural choice at the time, but with... [ more ]

Garage Joe Or even repeal TU law? [ more ]
Garage Joe My initial thoughts......... 1. "Certainty and Clarity" (sic) 2. "Taking control of our own laws." They have control of their own laws! Traditionally our government have vetoed anything that operates to a worker's advantage. 3. "Strengthen the Union." As Professor R. Fairclough has said, " I think that ship has sailed love." (see also 4) 5. Only controls EU immigration. 7. "Worker's rights." Why all the sudden interest in worker's rights? Do we believe they'll reveal TU law, bring back... [ more ]

Saint Who was it that deregulated the utilities? The Government. And now they stand in judgement of the people to whom they handed the nation's possessions? Kinda like knocking out kids then complaining when Soc Services don't look after them proper. Ruddy hypocrites [ more ]

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Haven't actually been in the local Morrisons for over a year. Partly because it doesn't sell as much of what I like as Tescos, but mainly because it is not on the route to/from work, so I'd actually have to go out of my way to go there. [ more ]

Eugene's Lair Bit belated as usual, but: great stuff, Rawky! [ more ]
Rawky-Roo Thanks, everyone. Amythist, I've enjoyed the course. More so for the opportunities and connections I've been able to make. I will say there are elements I'm not too fond of, but that's probably the same for every course out there. You do realise I'm in Toronto, right? It's not a cheap course. I got super lucky in that I received a 90% bursary to help pay for it. If you can afford it, by all means. Toronto's a great city with a huge industry. If not, get him to look into Bristol or London.

El Loro Staff at Gloucester's Café Rene have said a sad "au revoir" to Gordon. Every year on the café's birthday the staff have held Allo Allo-themed parties. The café was named after Rene Descartes rather than Rene Artois but that hasn't stopped the Allo Allo local urban myth. [ more ]
