Just half-watched it for the first and last time.

Is this what I pay my licence fee for?

Well obviously not entirely, but sufficient to keep this apparent tripe on my colour television.


Don't know who the actor who played Lynley was and I attach no blame to him personally.


But Lynley came across as an ineffectual, prissy-arsed tosser, whose 'personal problems' came across as being as serious as just missing a bus and having to wait two minutes for the next one.


It's the new coalition government's fault I reckon, but the Tories are more to blame. Obviously.

Not nicissirily, Brin, I fill about larfing, pil.

Funniest thing I seen since Eugene Terre-Blanche tried to tell off Nick Broomfield that time.

Norly pessed myself I did.

I got it.


And I watched the last half last night, like others of you watched Inspector Linley and realised I was at Youth Theatre with Nat Parker's wife. I remember going to a party at her house when I was about 19 and her parents are well loaded and lived in a massive hise orf Spencer Park. I got well drunk and threw up all over the place.


Peckham Finishing School - I turned on just as the white scary looking one seemed to be the last to tell her heavy story to everyone. Then later she had a go at one of the posh girls for saying she had drawn the short straw for ending up with the scary one. It would seem the posh girls can do no right and the Peckham girls are all blameless victims being dissed.



I find that Poirot and Captain Hastings are altogether more agreeable characters to watch. And hats off to Miss Lemon and those glorious 1930s pastiche sets.


Miss Marple wins if you enjoy pretty, quintessentially English village settings although why the residents of St. Mary Mead haven't seemed disgruntled about decreasing house values what with it being a 'murder' hotspot and all, I cannot say.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
