I?m enjoying Californication at the moment. It has a pretty shallow plot and explores the much rehashed theme of the man (or-woman of course) unto himself (or herself) going through life bemused by its absurdity, repulsed but dependent at the same time.


Raul Duke, Henry Chinaski, the Dude or Spider Jerusalem but packaged in a more, ?your mum will fancy him? kinda way.


It is playing up to my recent loss of faith in human nature (Like the Daily Mail to a Xenophobic). Plus it has lots of naked ladies.

old hat

Sopranos was the one for the Keef household, but alas it's all over.


Best British made thing was Ideal, but that's finished now too (I think).


Quite liked Rome too, but don't think they're doing a 3rd series... Why have all the good things ended.


Other than that, TV is generally sh!te, I tend to watch DVD's in my evenings.


Am planning to get some DVDs of The Wire and Spooks to give them a go... I find it hard getting in to TV series, because you have to commit to finding the time to watch them.

From what I read, Gene gets a transfer down to London (cue soft southern jokes) in 1982 (if memory serves), and is given a female partner who is a single mother (cue sexist jokes). Sounds bloody great to me!!! >:D<

Thanks for the warning Sean & Mockney resisted reading that blog (well don't want to ruin it now do I), AND then.......................

"Damn you,........ damn you all"


Still Randy is so funny & some good eye candy in Joy & Catalina :))

>>Another show I'm in to and I can highly recommend is Weeds <<


Oh ym goodness yes! The lecture by the uncle to the young nephew on the subject of masturbation in the last series was just hilarious!....as were all the subsequent visual jokes involving snacks of bananas...:))

Who is watching repeats of "No Angels" on Trouble. Funny and sad I think it is brilliant british comedy drama. As some will know I'm very parochial regarding TV. Got to be British. got to be relevant to me and my life.



Caught a little of The Street last night. Is that harrowing or what. Is it any good?

This is what I'm currently watching:

Have been addicted to Japanese tv since my late teens (many moons ago) Japanese drama, comedy and romance series are second to none.


The only thing worth watching at the moment on UKTV for me is the new series of The Mighty Boosh, and I really miss the IT crowd it has to be said.

Has anyone been watching the Tudors on BBC2?


It's the last one next Friday. I thinks it's been brilliant and didn't realise Henry VIII was so hot when he was young! The guy playing his brother-in-law is gorgeous too.


Lots of sex and violence, but set in an historical drama, so acceptable!

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
    • We have lots of shoes and need a nice way of organising them! 
    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
