Making one of my periodic attempts to resurrect this thread?saw The Shark is Broken last week and thought it was great. It?s an imagining of the conversations/personality clashes of the three stars of Jaws behind the scenes while they?re waiting for the mechanical shark to be fixed.


Not sure there?s much depth to it, but it?s very funny, especially if you?re into films. And co-writer Ian Shaw plays his dad Robert (Quint in the film) and being now a similar age the resemblance is scary.

Think it?s nearly finished but Pride & Prejudice sort of , was a real feel good show, very funny with an excellent cast. When I?m went there was a very diverse audience and all seemed to leave with a smile on their face. You don?t need to know the book to follow it

I saw "A Man for All Seasons" at Canterbury a few months ago.  It was superb and surprisingly, Gary Wilmot was excellent.

It is coming to London in the autumn and is well worth a trip.

Went to see the Tony-Winning Stereophonic last night, the play that is apparently not about the recording of Rumours but is set in a recording studio in Sausalito in the late 70's and features a band with three Brits (two men, one woman) and two Americans (one man, one woman).

It was good but I wasn't blown away, wasn't helped by the number of people chomping on noisy snacks throughout the performance !

Don't you just hate that at theaters and cinemas 

I know food and drink sales help keep ticket prices down but nothing is more off putting then a badly timed crunch of crisps after frantic rattling of plastic.

Would be XX rated if it was Rumours, but no doubt one hell of a party

This drives me absolutely mad.

Why is all the food they sell there so effing noisy? Popcorn, nuts, crisps.

Why can't they just sell stuff like rolls and ice cream? Is it because those are harder to store and more perishable?

It's so inconsiderate to other people, like having your mobile on loudspeaker on public transport.

    • 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.
