Curtains, did you really think I was trying to stay on topic? ;-)

But while I'm about it


The Ladykillers - Mrs Lopsided getting the better of the gang.


Midnight Run. Just a touch here but there's loads more good stuff.




OLIVER! - It's got everything sex, violence and great songs. I don't do karaoke but if ever I'm simultaneously drunk enough to do so and possessed of total recall and reasonable pitch and whatever else singers require, then put me down for 'As Long As He Needs Me' and 'Oom Pah Pah'.

I'll do others but I'm keen on Nancy's.


Goodfellas - just a great story and I love the scene where Michael Jackson's former manager takes part in 'whacking' Tommy.


Kind Hearts And Coronets - the 'twist' never gets old for me.


The Sound Of Music / Chitty Chitty Bang Bang / Mary Poppins - Nuns and Nazis, a flying car and musical confectionary, a magic nanny and a terrible banker +++ GREAT SONGS!

No disrespect to Sally Ann Howes, who certainly made a decent enough fist of it but I think everyone would have preferred Julie Andrews as 'Truly' in CCBB. Fact.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
