You only get the very best and latest opinions from us here Carol - this is quality media . . .

Absolutely . . . .

Same here. I’ve given up on our news media. They are desperate to fix wiping Labour out and for right-wing chaos to reign (again). I’m also done with the ‘can’t see the wood for trees’ brigade too. Their goal is to turn the entire population back into Alf Garnett. *sips tea*
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. It’s self-abuse (IYKWIM). They can’t articulate what it is they actually want or why they want it - everything is what they hate, despise & don’t want. And that’s where any rationale ends. And that the consequence of it making them worse off is utterly lost on them. #thick

How funny that many Americans have got the measure of him and yet so many dim Brits still think of him as ‘their mate’ and ‘good old Nige’? It baffles me. Effectively it is Brexit all over again - but with even thicker voters & higher stakes (if that was possible)

Hearing hypocritical Tories like that greasy haired political failure & surgically stitched suit & tie uber-slimeball Jenrick ranting & raving about Rayner’s tax affairs is proof of how low the UK has sunk.

Odd that. Almost everything about his music should have worked there. I also love that his late 70s output was on Elton’s Rocket Records label over there. 🤩

Ooh fab! Love a good dollop of Pet!! Loved ‘Valentino’ from ‘63 - but of course her real whopper single came the following year . . . 🤫 I have a feeling that Devil Woman was Cliff’s biggest US hit? Never really understood why he wasn’t as big there as he was everywhere else? 🧐

In 1963 when I was 5 yrs old my dad came home from work one day with a big bag of ex-Jukebox records. This was one of them. Along with The Caravelles’ ‘You Don’t Have To Be A Baby To Cry’ this was my favourite. Lovely to hear it again. I still remember every word ☺️ youtu.be/UkHCoLXmXp4?...

Luckily that never bothered me. My mother didn’t interfere televisually. Though I was never very keen on Magpie if I’m being totally honest 💅🏽

I have disabled it on all appropriate devices. I have no wish to be ‘warned’ about anything by a government. Surviving Thatcher taught me everything I needed to know. That and watching ‘How’ 💅🏽

OMG! I’d have killed to have gone to that! I’ve been after one of those paintings from the film for over 40 years. And I missed it!!!! *weeps*

I hear Harvey doing that. He’s really crafty and creeps in, munches a few biscuits and then clears off before the flappy flap gets locked. 🤣🤣

I was damp and steaming in that cafe too. But home and dry now and working on some last minute tidying up of my latest book. I shall be glad when it’s out and done and dusted. Still waiting for some copyright clearance for one verse of a John Betjeman poem. Yawn! 🥱

Hi WooWoo - good work! I got a likkiliks yesterday by pestering daddy until he gave in. I’ve buggered off out even though it’s all wet - just so I can come in soaked, make the kitchen floor dirty with my paws and do daddy’s curtains. WA me later buddy #tactics

It is frustrating. They gave me a delivery time window between 1058 and 1258. It didn’t arrive and their website simply says it’s at somewhere called Jubilee MC (wherever that is) ???
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Sat indoors waiting for a parcel delivery that should have been here an hour ago and now looks like it won’t be here today after all. Royal Mail innit 😡
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Pop that across to Channel 5 and you may well succeed . . . . Although might be a bit highbrow for them? 💅🏽
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social)
I’ve just been bemoaning that crappy Channel 5 documentary last night where they couldn’t even get the correct year of the mid-70s heatwave summer right. But it’s not all crud - we need a 3rd series of #richardegrant ‘s sublime #hotelsecrets - the best tv doc evah!! Commission. It. Now. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
It was a rubbish documentary too. They even dragged in Doris Karloff as a mouth. She droned on about how appalling everything was because of Labour, conveniently avoiding any Tory contributions. I’m surprised they didn’t get Farage in to fascist it all up a bit. 🤮
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes they do. He’s now scrumpling up his blankey and purring like a road drill. God knows what he and WooWoo will be planning next They know 🙀
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
HooHoo came in early the night and curled up asleep on his blankey at 6pm!! He then fucked off out at 7. He’s just come in. Disgraceful. Flappy flap is on now - I’m putting my foot down 💅🏼
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly what we said!!!! Know nothing graduate TV researchers and producers who have fallen out of uni with a media degree and no knowledge of anything prior to the year they were born. And if they don’t know they just make it up. You couldn’t make it up could you?
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Can you train him to open an automatic shit tray cupboard? HooHoo is still out - and I want him in. Bloody cat tactics
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
Can you integrate the shit tray? WooWoo deserves luxury too. 😼
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s going to be like Downton Abbey in there - but with soft close doors. Well done bab. You so deserve luxury 🥳
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social)
Except it was the summer of 1976 not 1975. Can’t even have a bloody drought now without someone trying to rewrite history. I blame Brexit, migrants, delayed roadworks on the A21, and gay marriage And I am unanimous in that

Oh buddy !! I hope the other cat came off worse? Daddy locks the flappy flap so I can’t get at that white cat. But one day . . . Be brave! WA me when you can. I’m on my blankey pretending to relax but ready for action #gingersrule 😼😼😼

I tried that last night bbz. Then I drifted off and had a dream that I was living in my old house in Wimbledon but the back wall was missing and I was fretting about security. Maybe it’s my chanting technique?

When someone says “oh wow!” as a response to something it means one or all of the following: * they think you have no taste * they’re not interested * they’re underwhelmed * they are wondering what planet you’re from You’re welcome 💅🏼

I miss Southern - it gave us a local TV station identity which is gone now. That little start up film every day, together with Richard Addinsell’s superb ‘Southern Rhapsody’ music brings back huge emotion even now. And reading the comments below the film it’s not just me 🥲 youtu.be/21GNgeNZGHg?...

The script is saturated with that hammy old ‘repeat lines’ dialogue thing. It makes me want to shout “YES! I JUST SAID THAT - LISTEN!!!! And these accents!!! 🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was going to send you a clip - but to be honest it could be any scene from it . . . 🫣
Gary James (@garyjamesactor.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m still watching it. It’s one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Every clichè under the sun. If you’ll pardon the pun. Dear god the accents - Dr Who’s is the worst, PB doesn’t seem to know what he is etc etc etc. 🫣

The Thursday Murder Club is the most laughably bad film drama I’ve seen in years. Inept script, hammy acting, hilarious accents, poor continuity and a plot you couldn’t hang a coat on. A turkey of epic proportions. But I forgive the perpetrators because T.Rex was in the soundtrack. 💅🏼

This is the thing that’s really annoying me about this government (among many others). They are bulletproof, in parliamentary terms, yet they’re acting like they have a single-digit majority and a looming GE. Get on with it. Govern with positivity and pride.
