Wonderland: The trouble with Mother ?


http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p6069


Oh where to start however, he we go...


Now this is more like it , a wonderfully dysfunctional bit of Englishness, fully f****d up "eccentrics" utterly obsessed by Wagner but can't pay a basic household bill . Someone who lives on the stairs, as if that's fine & is consumed by avalanches of "ones" past, in the form of photo's , mail & general crap all accumulated by a beguiling but cantankerous "mother"


There's love & contempt in equal measure. Though God if it were my mother I'd have drown her. Actually I don't need any excuse to do that, all I can say is "lucky you changed your locks ma" or you'd be long gone


Frederick (Tigger) seems "possible" until the french girl comes over & somehow he manages to impress her with a visit to "mothers" home


God what possess him to do that ? to describe the place as a tip misses the point. It is a repository of the past, a random scatter of history, junk , ideas & stuff that falls through the mail box.


Though I can't help but admire his spirit & "mother' well there's some kind of love there


I am going to watch it again, as I'm sure there's ( large ) bits i've missed somewhere



W**F

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day. 
    • GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd
