I was thinking of starting off a thread on this whole subject , but I couldnt be arsed . I thought someone was going to do it quite soon anyhow .



I must admit to being a bit partial to the 1992 Genesis masterpiece "Fading Lights " from We Can't Dance .... a nod to the days of Trick Of The Tail and Wind and Wuthering .... nice .



Fish Out Of Water by Chris Squire .... now theirs a good'n

Now Eliza, how do you keep the nan bread good for the next day? I always find it's gone hard.

Lol, I used to love House of Elliot too. I think it was all the art deco sets and the amazing clothes - love the 20s and 30s.


And evaporated milk with tinned fruit cocktail was a real treat for afters when I was a kid, mum had to make sure me and my sister both got a glace cherry or one of us would be unhappy

Oh God..... The X-Factor auditions....


I know, I know, I hate myself.


Every year I promise myself I won't and then MrJ is out and I think I'll just have a quick look and the next thing you know it's the end of a disappointing day in London and Simon's already stormed out once, because it's all just too bad, and then the last audition of the day... it's a cheeky, shy-looking, primary school teacher... the judges aren't expecting much...but what's this? He's brilliant! Simon gives him a standing ovation and tells him it's the best first audition he's EVER heard... And I'm crying....


I am so ashamed.

Anna - heroin addiction/slight recovery/addiction/recovery of some sort/recovery but always chasing the high.

Anna, I'm not saying that's better than X-Factor. No not at all. Nor that it's any more socially productive.

But you never bastard well know, do you?

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
