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!

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
