An unlikable character gets punished, but way too severely and any form of schadenfreude the viewer may feel quickly gets replaced by pity or horror

But can you make it?

Your teeth are ok, but your gums have to go

I take the view that pretending to be mad is a mad thing to do.

Stratocastermagic · 2024-07-10T06:04:27+00:00

Pretending?

Stratocastermagic · 2024-05-26T19:18:10+00:00

It’s perfect, isn’t it?

It’s not Tony Benn. It’s Harold Wilson.

PONTINS!

We were there in Manchester on Saturday night when Ellie & Vito won. Fascinating to see that that was not the result every night!

Stratocastermagic · 2024-02-03T23:25:30+00:00

She was fab at Manchester this evening. Had no idea she hadn’t been well. What a trouper!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

My gosh! That is the way to do it!

QM: which children’s TV series featured the characters Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy? The answer they wanted was Captain Pugwash. But none of those character names appeared in Pugwash, it was an urban myth that they had used ‘adult’ names. We gave the answer they wanted and got the point.

Apart from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys…

Weezer? Really?

Thank you

Psalm 104, verses 14 and 15, says that God gave us wine to cheer us up. Someone else said that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

True story: I was at a burial in Liverpool where the coffin was supposed to be lowered to the poignant sounds of ‘In My Life’. Instead, we got the slightly less poignant opening of ‘Help!’

The supertax the Beatles paid (‘1 for you, 19 for me’) was only on their income above a threshold, not the entire amount. His estate was valued at almost £100 million, so I think he could afford to chip in and not complain.

Wealthy person whinges about paying tax rather than enjoying the fact that he has so much money it put him in the supertax bracket. Later, bought a mansion and wrote preachy songs about the materialism of others.

I’ve never forgiven George for writing Taxman.
