Sir Bruce Forsyth: TV legend dies aged 89

As a game show host he was brilliant, as a song and dance man he left me cold.

Our Brucie RIP

I was wondering what every ones opinion is on the BLM, ANTIFA etc etc. groups demanding the removal of all historic statues of the confederacy and of anyone in history that was a slave owner i.e. George Washington, Jefferson...

Also, why did they suddenly become offensive, were they not offensive when Obama was President? It seems to me Obama being black would have been a better time to tear down any offending statues.

I'm getting tired of everyone constantly... [Read More]

Extending my thoughts and prayers to all impacted by the tragic event in Barcelona today.

Life is good.

The Government wants a temporary customs union after we leave while we get ourselves sorted out. Wonderful. They've actually agreed something among themselves: Ask for absolutely everything. And keep a straight face.

This far into the negotiations - which are going brilliantly, according to Davis - all we have is that the UK Gov't has agreed something with itself.

Did anyone watch the most recent episode of Real Time With Bill Mahr? When is this embarrassment of a host going to allow someone with some intelligence and sense take over his show or when is HBO going to put a better class of show on the network?

Mahr invited Ralph Reed on as a guest and did a one on one. Mahr asked the stupidest questions and behaved like a teenager. He should be embarrassed, the whiney little bitch he is.

Is the socialist dream dead ?
The mainstream media would have it that all the failures are down to the incompatibility of socialism in the modern world, and that Maduro is a dictator.

THIS gives another point of view.

I note that the record for the member with the worst case of verbal diarrhoea has now passed to Spot in Chonsigirl's absence :-)

I merely want to comment on vapid meaningless claptrap.

Staff and volunteers at Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk were asked to wear rainbow-coloured badges and lanyards in support of an LGBTQ campaign.

But 30 of the 350 volunteers were offered duties away from the public after choosing not to wear them.

[...] Initially the trust defended its decision and Annabel Smith, head of volunteering and participation development, said: "All of our staff and

Through the seventies Robert Hardy gave occasional TV or film roles an amazing punch, whether it was historial drama or just plain malevolence. Wonderful performances. They've stayed in my memory ever since.

I can think of several roles in which his performance was the pivot around which the drama revolved. Playing Ricky Tarr in Tinker Tailor, for example, and his outrageous confidence opposite Richard Attenborough in Loot. I'd have liked to have seen him on stage but never managed to.
