I think Pillars of the Earth is a little 'flabby' - the narrative is a bit ponderous but I'm loving the action and I think the casting of the characters is really good - apart from William who I thought would be a lot more rumbunctious. More of a rugger bugger. Still, a enjoying it quite alot but its not really holding me.


Isnt X factor for children and the simple?

I'm really enjoying 'The Only Way is Essex' currently on ITV2. The acting is superb, the characters are fantastic and the female actresses are pure class and breathtakingly beautiful.


It makes a nice change for ITV2 to broadcast some intelligent drama for us intellects..

Modern Family, Family Guy, bothtechnical examples of fine Americam comedy. Box set wise,it's imossible to top The Wire, though The Shield comes very close. Friend has just started work on what channel four are touting as Britain's answer to the Wire. Scheduled for transmission autumn next year. Called Top Boy. You heard it here first.

BBC4 can usually be relied upon for a gently-paced film on post-war architecture in coastal towns, or the story of the escalator and its impact upon suburban sexual habits, or perhaps even, if we are being treated, a social history of the motorway junction.


These should usually feature some recently discovered archive footage of a minor 40s poet extemporising on the miracle of "the electric", still images of empty shopping precincts, and inerviews with two racy-looking sisters of a certain age about tea dances next to the J20 (northbound) on the M1.

After a flying start, this got more and more silly, and I could baely be arsed watching the last couple.


A woman giving birth quietly under a collapsed cathederal was one of the more realistic parts.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
