Bollocks

Whenever people start giving dates for the end of days I switch off, although this may have some credibility (MIT) it is really no different to all the religious nutters who have been predicting the apocalypse since time began - they have all been wrong and we are still here. As the old joke...

Stranger than Fiction . Turned this on not knowing what to expect and really enjoyed it. I'm not normally impressed by Emma Thompson or Will Ferrell but they both put in superb performances.

2013 I think - it was part of the NHS Organ Donor campaign

Thought his remake of 'Goodness Gracious Me' with Pixie Lott was very clever

Has to be Frasier for me - it can move effortlessly from knock about physical comedy to high brow humour without missing a beat. "Daphne does dinner" is a master class in situation comedy.

These two will never be contenders but I really enjoyed them when I lived in the States Bored to Death Blunt Talk - with Patrick Stewart

Eric Idle's - Always look on the bright side of life : A sortabiography. Eric Idle was always my favourite Python and this is a great autobiography. Very amusing as you would expect from the author and he seems to know anybody who's anybody in show business and there's some quite revealing...

The unforgettable Marx Brothers - these clips are nearly 90 years old The Mirror Scene – never bettered Chico : I don’t like the second party either Groucho: Well you should have come to the first party, we didn’t get home until around four in the morning

So many Simpsons clips Note the Smoking Man in the background Moe - the losers loser

The new series of True Detective is very disappointing. Considering it's produced by HBO and stars Jodie Foster, Fiona Shaw and Christopher Eccleston it's just a mess. It doesn't seem to know if it wants to be a traditional detective series or a supernatural drama with ghosts and spirit guides...

Oops - Wrong Burns

It's a bit Like Southern Rail's weird pronunciation of Moulsecoomb

Horror films - normally about posession or exorcism - which say they are based on true events. No they are not because it didn't happen, it's just the ravings of some religious nutter.

"The will of the people" - that is complete bollocks Sunak

A few years ago, Pew Research, which is famously non-partisan, did a review of the ideological requirements of the US left and right. And they found they agreed on between 85% and 90% of all major issues, despite their outward personal perception that everything about the other side was...

It amuses me when some people categorise folk a certain way by the newspapers they read. I have some Daily Mail reading friends who are good, decent people and know some Guardian readers who are complete turds. When I lived in the USA I was a New York Times reading East Coast Liberal and had...

I can remember driving through little towns in the USA , there wouln't be much but there would always be a 30 lane bowling alley (well that may be exagerating a bit - still dreaming of that 7-10 split that I could never get) And quite a few movies featured bowling alleys including of course the...

Remember bowling there many moons ago. Nice vibe and the Lazer Quest area. Always thought the ceiling was disconcertingly low when you were making your approach.
