About his acting skills...yes! That was based exclusively upon what I had seen on the box. I must say that the degree of my aversion was prolly also influenced by the completely unjustified extent to which he was hyped up a few years back. Equally, I should say, there are others who share my opinion of the demeanour he appears to exude when walking around the streets of ED.

He used to frequent local pubs more err frequently than he does now. I and a few people I know have met him and he's actually a pretty nice bloke, who was happy to help out on a quiz machine or talk about footy.


Having said that I've seen him out with a group of 'pals' more recently and that 'air' was discernible. But then fame and success will always attract arse-kissing types, I guess the trick is never to believe the hype.


Not that that will ever really be an issue for me!!

ah yes, the old "I'll-say-it-will-never-happen-to-me" which means now it just might trick - to be fair Mockney you have had your work published which is more than most of us. In fact I'm sure I have seen you in the Bishop, downing double-rums like a proper star....


As for Jimmy - poor lad. I haven't seen so much of him since he moved but he was always happy to chat in the pubs watching football.

oi leave me out of this.

This thread seems to have descended into a rally about whether James Nesbitt is alright...


Coincidentally I was up at the TDF roll-out this morning [fantastic BTW] and ran into David Bathurst, who played the posh bloke in Cold Feet. He used to come into my bookshop occasionally, and was always just so nice in a way Hugh Grant only wishes he could be.


Also coincidentally the last series of Cold Feet was script doctored by a friend of mine. Small world eh?

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
