    Hannah was a poor bit of casting, but nowhere near as bad as James Nesbitt as Jack Parlabane in a dreadful adaptation of Quite Ugly One Morning.

    Got a bad feeling there are going to be a lot of loose ends at the end of this series of LoD, don't think it's coincidence that season 5 was commissioned long before this one was on air.

     

    Agreed abut Nesbitt as Parlabane, that programme was utter shite.

    That's Mercurio's stock in trade though, leave us all in suspense.

    ...and Jim White showed up at his place unannounced with a camera crew and a birthday cake while she was there is what is alleged to have happened. This is believed to have prompted Hazel Irvine to move to the BBC.

    I remember watching that, he was telling them all to F**k Off etc, funny as f**k lol

  4. I got circumcised a few years ago (in my 50s) under local anaesthetic, the anaesthetist was f*cking useless I may add, I felt the first slice & the surgeon had the cheek to say I appeared nervous lol. The only drawback (pun intended) was no sex for about a month afterwards but apart from that I'm glad I got it done.

  5. On Saturday evening I watch My Old Lady, starring Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith & Kirsten Scott Thomas. Kline is an American who inherits a Paris apartment from his father & finds out it has two sitting tenants, Smith & Scott Thomas, apparently this is a quirk of French law & perfectly legal. Basically it follows his attempts to get shot of them.  On Sunday evening I watched My Life of Crime with Tim Robbins & Jennifer Aniston (who was surprisingly good).  She gets kidnapped & he won't pay the ransom although it was done a lot better years ago with Danny de Vito & Bette Midler.

    Blitzed by Norman Ohler

    Well researched and fascinating account of drug use and abuse in the 3rd Reich. It certainly offered a different perspective of WW2 that has scarcely been touched elsewhere.

    I read the reviews for that a while back, anyone for Pervitin???

    Alexander McCall Smith - No.1 Ladies Detective Agency.

    Same lad - Tears of the Giraffe.

    The whole TV series thing passed me by, but these books are good. I'd been working my way through various Nigel Tranter books so these were a good change of direction. Mma Ramotswe is a private detective in Botswana. Clients come in and see her and she takes on their cases. Enjoyable reading.

    Just started The Centurions by Jean Larteguy.

    Read loads of Nigel Tranter years ago, especially the Bruce Trilogy.

    I just finished this a wee while ago. Love CH's stuff, you know exactly what you're going to get.
    You should read Bad Monkey, it's also about Andrew Yancy but has some funnier scenes than Razor Girl imo. The crack smoking monkey for one!

     

    Just finished reading Razor Girl the other day, great stuff but Bad Monkey is hilarious.

  9. Rattle of a Simple Man (1964).  Set in London on the evening of the FA Cup Final about a group of supporters out on the piss.  Harry H Corbett plays a 39yo virgin who is bet £50 against his motorbike that he can't pull prostitute Diane Cilento, take her back to her place and pump her.  Quite interesting to see how life was back than & that most guys didn't appear to have any casual gear, never seen so many people suited & booted for a night out lol  Not a Mod to be seen btw!!!
