Former MemberCorrect El Loro Hadn't seen it for years - could just watch O Lucky Man tonight now. [ more ]
El LoroReference: Carnelian Wasn't it on TV last night? It was on at the time that Velvet Donkey posted here, so that could well be the reason for the post. I've see If 3 times. It was filmed in part at Cheltenham College, and, in my capacity as an accountant, I have visited the College many times over the years. So I recognise some of the localities such as the main hall and exterior shots. The College did not approve of the storyline for obvious reasons. [ more ]
starbug15I agree with a poster above me that you can get lots of people of 40 to 60+, who are complete idiots and very immature, and yet people of 20 who are really intelligent and mature. And I agree with the majority here that age doesn't really matter and I get on well at work and so on, with lads of 18 to 20 (and girls,) and also with people 10 or 15 years older. But that said, I have to say that my 2 close friends who I have known 15 years or so, are near my age, and although I get on well with... [ more ]

Former MemberBig fridge in the kichen. Chest freezer in the garage for the o/h when you snap. No charge. [ more ]
~ Babette ~The biggest scam is the energy rating. The concept is that if you have enough insulation the thing will need less energy to run so it will be greener. In reality they cannot put the insulation on the outside of the fridge freezer because it would be too big to get into the kitchen, and once it was in the kitchen you would not be able to get in there yourself, let alone open the doors. So they keep the outside the same and put the insulation inside. Energy problem solved. Food storage problem... [ more ]
Garage JoeIf you are going to have a fridge/freezer then it's vair important to have some sort of system/rotation. In the early days of our relationship we were taken in with the, "buy a quarter beast and half a lamb scam!" and the "Fill your freezer and save money!" myth. If you are both working you never get around to it. Now we are lucky enough to be sole and home based traders, we just cycle to the local shops and buy what we need on a daily basis. [ more ]

Since my mam died 9 years ago, the brother I couldn't sort of have a conversation with (was only one word answers) I seem to have become closer to and can now hold a convo with (allthough we still don't live in each other's pockets) but are there if needs be. My other brother (now lives in New Zealand) and was very close to him upset me the last phone call last year and haven't heard anything from him since. I dunno whether it's an age thing or what. They're 10 and 9 years... [ more ]
Former MemberI get on really well with my mother, I can talk to her about anything, other than that I have a brother and sister. My brother is so funny and i love to bits. I dont talk to my sister. She is so selfish that a couple of years ago i decided my life would be a lot happier if i didn't have to deal with her so that was that, i cut ties and i feel i was right to, it was like a weight off my mind.

Ev (Peachy)Reference:Brisket SEXY (It's the voice.) So the ones who depend on their looks I do not find sexy. The ones with slightly noticeable (even odd) features which may not be stereotypically handsome I do find sexy. The eye (and ears) of the beholder I couldn't agree more Brisket! I love mens lips and voice, oh and i have a thing for tall men [ more ]
Ev (Peachy)I have her here now, i wish i had her energy. She was very excited to go for her walk. I notice she is also aware of the traffic, which is good. No huge dogs trying to molest us as yet on our walk today. At the moment she seems to be having a word with the cats in the garden. [ more ]

starbug15I saw this last night on living. (An edited, shorter version,) and TBH it was a storm in a teacup. What Gervais said was rather tepid and I feel that the Americans are perhaps a little over sensitive. I also think that they don't like it when foreigners take the piss out of them....... if it had been a fellow yank, then they would have been a bit more receptive to the humour. No offence to the Yanks meant, I mean, I am the same: if someone takes the piss out of the Brits and they are... [ more ]
cologne 1I don't really think it was very good because he is not a kosher person. The way he hosted the Globes was exactly the way he behaved as Brent in the office. Either he is no actor or he is no comedian. Any which way, he's carp. [ more ]
Karma_I loved Gervais on it. He ripped the piss out of the fakeness and it was trés refreshing. Even with his interjections, it still had the over the top, gushing, unnecessary appraisals with fake smiles and fake losing faces, but he brought a good kick up the arse balance. Colin Firth's speech was the one I found the most genuine, tbh. I think I already talked about that Melissa Leo woman, who would have had a Moet bottle shoved in her gob sideways if I'd been in the audience. One of the... [ more ]

Garage JoeAll joking aside. This business about sandman's human rights record is a bit of a red herring. The WMD argument was a loser since every time he got anywhere near completion the Israelis assassinated the people concerned. As a matter of fact they constructed his super gun round these parts. If the west were concerned about state murder why didn't they invade Syria too? (thousands murdered after the last uprising against Assad) I say again unto you.

Carnelianyeah well, thanks for the sympathy but hey, I left school with a few shit qualifications and had more than my fair share of unemployment and then went on to various low paid jobs like warehousing - which I hated.

I passed all those qualifications with A's and 'Bs and then moved on to A levels and then moved... [ more ]
Karma_Katty, the CAB are fantastic for helping to fill out any forms like this (and for DLA and other benefits). They will also advise you on fighting your case if you need to appeal.

CosmopolitanWelllllllllllllllllllllll..... it was on because we'd been half watching/listening to The Wright Stuff. Usually the announcement that Trisha is about to follow makes for a communal rush to find the remote, but no one bothered today. I couldn't tell you what the topics were and I only saw Liz ex Atomic Kitten spluttering and trying to make a coherent sentence; no idea what point she was trying to make. Isn't Vanessa hosting the silly o'clock early show on Radio 2 now as well..? Won't that... [ more ]
Former MemberIt was pretty OK again today. makes a change from Trisha and JK. [ more ]

CosmopolitanIt's a typical Liz Jones piece sadly; if she can't bring it around to being about her then forget it. I mean, who gives a stuff whether Bristol has got a Space NK or a Habitat? Is this the reason she deigned to travel over to Bristol; were they deemed worthy of her presence because they could sell her the right bottle of shower gel...? She's far too enchanted with herself.

starbug15I agree Croc. Who actually reads this filthy piece of shit? Not only is it a really horrid fascist piece of crap, but it's actually going from bad to worse as its continually offending peope? Who decides that these things can actually be said and published? [ more ]
CroctacusHow did that person get a job as a journalist?....the writing is no better than you'd expect from your average 14 year old. [ more ]
CarnelianShe sounds a bit croaky to me but I'm not entirely sure it's not a poor quality recording. Sounds a bit like she's doing a generic American rock-lite singer songwriter accent and not quite pulling it off. I wouldn't say awful at all, just a bit unpolished. I think that may be the intention. [ more ]

His new series seems to be overstepping the mark to a greater degree trhan ever. I have watched him with a group of guests who very clearly have low IQs. Mocking them and humiliating them - especially as they obviously have low IQ - is sickening. Earning money on the backs of such people is close to the ethics of a Victorian freak show. They choose to go on the show... [ more ]

Former MemberSorry issy. I didnt mean anything by it and reading back, my post sounded like I was having a go at you, so i am sorry about that. As i said, I actually agree that people here wouldnt have jeered and laughed at a little girl. And yes as you said: I guess with the BGT type shows - the people do actually put themselves up for it. No offence intended. [ more ]
Former MemberI was just referring to the little girl incident when I said "case closed". And I actually meant it as a light hearted remark TBH. Actually yes us Brits do take the mickey but my understanding on this occasion was that the OP and others were saying that a British crowd would have jeered at an 8 year old. I was merely saying that they wouldn't. [ more ]
PrometheusI've got to say I agree completely Brits would have reacted in exactly the same way but I think that little girl in the BGT clip was just having a tantrum. She didn't seem upset at all. No tears is always a dead giveaway but despite all that the crowd were behind her anyway. [ more ]
