Wonderland: The trouble with Mother ?


http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p6069


Oh where to start however, he we go...


Now this is more like it , a wonderfully dysfunctional bit of Englishness, fully f****d up "eccentrics" utterly obsessed by Wagner but can't pay a basic household bill . Someone who lives on the stairs, as if that's fine & is consumed by avalanches of "ones" past, in the form of photo's , mail & general crap all accumulated by a beguiling but cantankerous "mother"


There's love & contempt in equal measure. Though God if it were my mother I'd have drown her. Actually I don't need any excuse to do that, all I can say is "lucky you changed your locks ma" or you'd be long gone


Frederick (Tigger) seems "possible" until the french girl comes over & somehow he manages to impress her with a visit to "mothers" home


God what possess him to do that ? to describe the place as a tip misses the point. It is a repository of the past, a random scatter of history, junk , ideas & stuff that falls through the mail box.


Though I can't help but admire his spirit & "mother' well there's some kind of love there


I am going to watch it again, as I'm sure there's ( large ) bits i've missed somewhere



W**F

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
