Carnelian He looks well inebriated. [ more ]
Carnelian As someone who drinks far too much, (my ranty posts are proof of that) but never drives drunk it is an irritation that people who could easily afford cabs or even chauffeurs drink and drive. [ more ]
El Loro A new BBC news article about this. It includes a clip from an officer's body camera as to what happened: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...-merseyside-49522290 [ more ]

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Depending on how far from the centre you would still consider the station as an 'Edinburgh station' you could have more than 10! [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Not sure if anyone has answered this, But Edinburgh Waverly is the big station in the centre of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Haymarket is a smaller station on the western outskirts of the city. These are the main Intercity stations. [ more ]

velvet donkey Lori, I can't thank you enough for doing that. But thanks [ more ]
Lori Hi, @velvet donkey Well, that menu is kind of long, and it sounds like your browser window is not long enough to get you to the end of it, for some reason. No worries, though: I've just added a "Sign Out" menu item under the Privacy - Cookie Policy menu item. If you mouse over that, now, you'll see an option to Sign Out. Hope that works for you!

Yogi19 Don’t mind Emma but the programme doesn’t appeal. [ more ]
Saint To me Emma is dead behind the eyes Her hearts not in it She always seems aloof and disinterested - it's a 'job' - nothing more and she'd really rather be at home. Goodness knows if that's true [ more ]
Carnelian Emma Willis is so sexy, and witty. Emma Willis is my fantasy girlfriend/wife. Still, if the show's shit, I won't be watching. [ more ]

Carnelian yep, of course I accept people have different opinions. Equally valid? Well, sort of, in their own minds - equal or superior to my views. Even so, my opinions won't mean vulnerable people don't get their vital medicines nor will they facilitate disaster capitalism which is what Brexit is all about, a Trojan Horse for disaster capitalist hedge fund managers to **** over this country!

Baz I don’t think anyone expects you to compromise or sell out your principles Carnelian ...I certainly don’t ....but then it’s only fair that you accept that others have different opinions , which are equally valid ...or at least as strongly held [ more ]

"Jade" on Channel 4
Eugene's LairEugene's Lair
Eugene's Lair Jade Goody: Cancer charity hopes documentary serves as 'a reminder' 'The UK's largest cervical cancer charity has said it hopes a documentary about Jade Goody will serve as "a reminder" of the impact of the disease. The finale of Channel 4's three-part Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain aired on Wednesday. Goody's illness and death in 2009, aged 27, led to a 12% spike in women getting NHS smear tests at the time. But Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust said screening rates are now lower than... [ more ]
Baz Thanks Eugene ....interesting summary ...as always [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Sure enough: they had the guy from OK proudly holding up a copy of their "Jade tribute Issue". Even tried to regain some of the moral high ground with a story about a Sun photographer breaking into Jade's wedding. It was perhaps inevitable, but there was way too much coverage of Max Clifford for my (and probably everyone-else's) liking. Again, Dan Evans from NotW gains some credit for his brutal honesty, with a story about how he was told “We need to get the first picture of her with no... [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I agree with Carnelian (saved me doing lots of writing). With all the issues surrounding care of contestants for various programmes, I don't feel BB would be suitable now. As a show it had it's moments, which could have gone (or did go) totally out of hand. The best thing is that there is still a good number of us returning to the forum despite no BB, just as I predicted. [ more ]
Saint Why? BB6 was the best (2005) I would watch from the beginning to fill the gap Would be interesting to see it from a new perspective [ more ]

Widespread power failures
El LoroEl Loro
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Mind you. there was a brief loss of power just before 5pm at the hospital. [ more ]
El Loro Cause not yet known but Industry experts said that a gas-fired power station at Little Barford, Bedfordshire, failed at 16.58, followed two minutes later by the Hornsea offshore wind farm disconnecting from the grid. So why these two failures happenng within 2 minutes ??? [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing From what I've read, the mass failures don't seem to be affecting Scotland, but as we are expecting thunderstorms for the next 24+ hours, I wouldn't be surprised if some areas experience something similar! [ more ]

Ofcom proposals on protection of participants in TV and radio programmes
El LoroEl Loro
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Talent shows, Big Brother, Love Island, they all need a good looking at. There are far too many people who enter Cowell shows saying they have always dreamed of being famous, a singer, being rich and famous. Lots and lots of them get rejected during the elimination rounds. Would be a massive job and expensive to provide after care for all of them. [ more ]

Johnson's in.
VD velvet donkey
Eugene's Lair I've mentioned this before, but Ian Hislop has always said that he does not consider Johnson fit to serve in any political position whatsoever. Many people have just assumed he was joking, but as a political journalist who has worked with Johnson, he was being deadly serious. Seriously: how many jobs do you have to be sacked from for lying before the GBP start to suspect that you might - just might - be a bit of a wrong 'un... [ more ]

RIP, Rutger Hauer
Eugene's LairEugene's Lair
El Loro As usual, Radio 4's Today programme this morning included its religious slot "Thought for the Day". Giles Fraser today used EL's clip in his opening post as the basis. His talk is of interest to anyone who finds that scene memorable. He also talks about Philip K Dick and also throws in William Blake. A fascinating item and will worth 3 minutes of listening time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07j6zcf [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Yes, Ladyhawke, of course, how did I forget that. I think I have seen the Buffy film you mention, but so long ago I forget what it was like. [ more ]
