Sunak and Shapps look like two spivs who have just sold you a clapped out Ford Cortina which will break down two miles down the road

It's interesting when you look at his politcal affiliations on Wiki, he seems to have flip flopped between Democrats, Republicans and Independents. He also donated heavily to the Democratic Party at one point. In other words he has always been a business man with his eye on the main chance -...

And what happened to these bad boys, disappeared off the face of the earth yet you can still get scampie and bacon fries OK

It was unusual, and quite risky, for a US comedy show in the 90s to feature two such obvious snobs as the main characters. But I suppose that they balanced that with a very down to earth Martin and a streetwise Roz, in fact those characters sparring off each other is what made it so funny and...

With the advances in CGI perhaps Bart Simpson can make some guest appearances, after all Frasier made enough as Sideshow Bob in the Simpsons. And when Niles turned up as Sideshow Cecil it was comedy gold

It will be interesting to see how my namesake fits into the new show. I don't think there are any others from the original cast appearing in it as far as I know.

Agreed, Frasier set the benchmark for other sitcoms to live up to IMHO. Not sure about the reboot though

You plonker Rodney https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/aug/22/only-fools-nicholas-lyndhurst-seen-sinking-pints-with-frasier-in-new-series Reboot starts on Paramount + on October 13th

Best comment in the Guardian report of the Wolves game : "I for one welcome our new Brighton overlords"

Just in case........

American evangalist Harold 'Carry On' Camping got his prediction about the end of days wrong the first time, said he had miscalculated and then gave his second prediction which also failed to happen. Something about stop digging when you are in a hole came to mind. Some believers had given away...

He did actually say "I'll probably be remembered for that bloody bird"

Painkiller. It was good but not as good as Dopestick which really covered the same ground about the Oxycontin addiction crisis in the States. The fact that the Sackler family was never arrested and put behind bars is unbelievable. But the FDA and the medical profession didn't exactly cover...

I think our scouting team deserve a huge bonus from Tony for their work

When I saw that programme I was living in the States - and it really shocked me to the core. It featured Perdue, one of the major chicken producers over there for supermarkets. After that I stopped buying their products in stores. At the moment in the UK the major supermarket chains all seem to...

Having seen the conditions those animals had to live in I would prefer to pay a bit more so they could be kept in better conditions.

I saw some programme in the States about the way that poultry and livestock farming has been industialised on a massive scale. It seems that the US Government is quite happy to let the industry self regulate and only acted following outbreaks of ecoli and salmonella poisoning resulting in...

The Tories seem to be following the same playbook as the Republicans in the States and lurching ever further to the right, showing less compassion and determined to erode hard won human rights. Some of my Republican friends in the States say that party no longer represents them and their beliefs...

Agreed. As an atheist I couldn't find the Exorcist remotely scary, just made up nonsense, although Linda Blair in Repossessed was quite amusing. But French Connection was superb - the cast, the script - everything was brilliant.
