I'm inclined to agree with Annaj regarding the film's storyline leaving a lot of questions unanswered.


I'm not sure whether she looks like either Kristen Scott-Thomas or Juliette Binoche as she's remained one step ahead of me concerning my unhealthy habit of stalking other forumites online.


Moos has so far given me the slip but we share a Dickensian bond at the moment that I hope to put a face to at the next drinks at the Gowlett.

It's not the plot that leaves me perplexed BBW, it's wondering whether I was being compared to uptight and angsty Katherine or romantic, but slighty mad Hannah. And don't get excited, I don't look like either of them.


As far as the film goes and it's feelgoodiness, I do like it and I do relate to what your saying about a tragic film (and there's no doubt it it tragic) being in some ways a very emotionally satisfying experience, but I agree with Moos, that it's not a feel good film.

English Patient, vastly overrated novel and film

Haven't read it, but agreed on the film. A horny but socially inept explorer roots an adulterous aristo, crashes a plane and then tries to remember it all with the help of an emotionally labile frog and a smack-addicted spy with no thumbs: not the stuff of real feel-good moments.




The Karate Kid was on on Sunday night...

No wolfie you've just got crap taste, or you misunderstand the meaning of feel good.


'City of god' was one of the most believable child filled movies I have seen, but most seem to get murdered throughout the picture. If that makes you feel good........................

Oh yes! Although after meeting me for the first time, a friend of Mr Buggie's told him I reminded him of Murial - wasn't sure it was a compliment!!

*incontinent laughter from the Moos household re: BN5's English Patient summary*


Also is it the English Patient, or the English Patient? What do we think?


Mister Wolf and lovely LegalEagle, Dickens is definitely not feel-good but I look forward to it very much - will report back! x


Back on topic, how about Intolerable Cruelty?

Think some people are getting a bit out of focus in terms of the feel-good definition. A film that makes you feel good at the end, when the goodie obliterates the baddie in a hail of comeuppance bullets or the hero finally gets his gorgeous girl is not necessarily a feel-good film. A feel-good film is a light fluffy bit of entertainment that makes you feel like smiling pretty much throughout its entirety. Comprend?

I was thinking that there are only 2 possible conclusions to what you've written.


1) You are a 78-year-old maiden lady from Stow On The Wold, who needs an out for her darker side. Some write horror novels, others pretend to be 25-year-old gun-smuggling building site workers.


Since I know a few people who know you, and none of them has mentioned your blue rinse and soft wrinkly hands, I may (regretfully) have to put that theory aside.


So, 2) you are a softy who cried at the end of ET and has read everything ever published by Mills and Boon. The world of ravishingly beautiful red-haired lady dentists who go on holiday to Cypress only to be kidnapped by sneeringly handsome yet gentlemanly freedom fighters is all too familiar to you, you are no stranger to the lure of the glowing eyes of Lavinia Postlethwaite raised meltingly to the stern features of Romany prince Tobar Hearn.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
