Nice tributes by Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/15/arts/television/norm-macdonald-comedy.html

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I know George Lazenby got a lot of flack as 007 but Dianna Rigg was the best Bond girl ever; smart, stylish, confident and very beautiful. It was probably about a half an hour too long but Telly Savalas was the best Blofeld (a snob who seemed more concerned...

Google is much better, when you use the NSC search facility you may have to wade through a couple of pages of mismatches before you get what you are looking for

I felt that after about 4 years when I was on a flight from Heathrow to JFK and started to feel like a New Yorker. Advice - invest time meeting and socialising with the locals, some Brits I know in NYC only hang out with other Brits. No offence to any of the Brits in NYC but if I wanted to hang...

This is the 21st century and we still have 26 unelected bishops sitting in the House of Lords. This is absurd for the "Mother of all Parliaments". They have the right to vote on extremely important issues like the right to die and assisted suicide. I wouldn't presume to know which way they would...

They f***** it up in 2015 when the half marathon was too short. Can't these tossers get anything right. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-39467250

Got sent this by a friend who kept the original copy of the New York Times which was published on the 12th

They will hold their noses and carry on. This country will keep Boris in power for the next 10 years, if that can happen the Royalists have nothing to worry about. We get the society we deserve.

I always knew what a far right organization Fox News was but I never realized what a toxic atmosphere there was behind the scenes until I saw a movie called 'Bombshell' It was about a guy called Roger Ailes who was the fat, sweaty POS that ran Fox News for Murdoch. For years he had got away...

Andrew's legal team has now hired the finest legal minds in the USA that money can buy. This includes Blair Berk who represented Harvey Weinstein.

Always nice to see the Yankees humiliated, even more so when it's against their New York rivals the Mets. They were gubbed 10-3 in the first game of the Subway Series. That's seven consecutive defeats and puts them in danger of missing the post season.

yep - I think Australia got the better deal !

But the Brits are at least partly to blame for that because we did send all our puritans and religious nutters over there to help found the country

Recent CDC report saying unvaccinated Americans 11 times more liable to die of Covid. Biden knows this won't make the slightest difference to the bozos who refuse to get vaccinated - Fake News blah, blah, blah - which is why is is initiating his various laws to ensure take up of the vaccine...

Till Death Us Do Part was a send up of racism, in the same way Blazing Saddles was, and held it up to ridicule. Once you start laughing at something you take away some of its power

No problem with offensive language, Eddie Murphy "Raw" and Richard Pryor were notorious for that. The only thing is they were great stand up comics and very funny, something RCB will never, ever be

Glad you enjoyed it. I'd never heard of him until I moved to the States and saw him on HBO one night and was hooked. He's not as well known as some other American stand ups like Eddie Murphy, Richard Prior and Robin Williams but I like his take on some subjects. Religion is still taboo in the...
