As a rule HIGNFY is the only one of the million panel shows I'll watch, but if I'm curled up on the settee, i don't mind NMTB, Simon Amstell does make me chuckle.


James would have liked him last night

"Katie Perry who sang the song 'UR so gay', she of course means gay in the trendy new definition, meaning bad. God she's such a jew!! She shouldn't be so black about everything..etc."

There's something about Mark Lamarr that just makes me feel I wouldn't want to be trapped in a lift with him.


Anyway I think it's unfair of the BBC to employ two people - both called Mark - with the same haircut.


As they say: "An evening stuck in a lift with Mark Kermode to our winners; and evening stuck in a lift with Mark Lamarr to our losers".

I disagree Keef, he was funny on that too. Really sarcy to all the rubbish interviewees. I seem to remember him really upsetting the Kooks, you can't ask for more than that can you?


I never used to watch NMTB when Lamarr presented it, but these days it is very funny (if you like puerile humour, which I do).

Maybe had I seen that I would have felt differently about him. They couldn't just relax and be funny though, it's like everything they said had to be somehow really sharp and cool and funny. It just got on my tits to be honest.


He seems to have grown out of it though.

lamarr was a prick. i went to a few of the live recordings when he was the host and his crass attempts at humour were limited to taking the piss out of disabled people. i gave him the benefit of the doubt and went to another one and it was just more of the same, cheap laughs. as for jupitus ,the most unfunny person in comedy, at least having amstel in the hot seat gives him the chance to remove his tongue from up lamarrs hole.

I used to go to loads of the live recordings (free tickets, free drink, suited me perfectly!) - couldn't stand Mark Lamarr, came across as so arrogant, completely lacking in comic ability IMO. He put me off the show completely, haven't watched it since Simon started hosting - maybe I'll give it a try!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
