    The Little Drummer Girl

    Yup, Line of Duty another great drama series - need to check if I'm up to date on this now you've mentioned it. Tend to watch more in the winter and save stuff like this for wet dismal days when we can watch back to back episodes.

    Practical jokes

    Can't stand the physical ones like bucket of water on top of door, cling film on toilet bowl etc but was once involved in a more elaborate one. My brother (a builder) worked with a bloke who had a very short fuse and was notorious for blowing his top and completely losing his temper over the...

    Things that annoy you

    Obviously you do this with self-scanning and I've often wondered how much is lost to genuine mistakes or folk being tempted by missing a high value item. It's so easy to forget to scan the odd item or even scan in their favour by scanning an item twice. Having said that the random checks have...

    The Little Drummer Girl

    Definitely going to catch up with this but have a long list of dramas backing up - only just finished second series of Handmaid's Tale and still watching Trust which is beautifully filmed (not sure how close to reality to the real Getty story it is) evocative and brutal.

    90% of World's children breathing toxic air

    Hate to think how much pollution we all inhaled going to Foxford in the seventies when cars had leaded fuel. Our playing fields were virtually under the M6.

    I remember when this was all fields....

    Makes me feel old! (or even more older!)

    I go to more funerals than weddings and christenings these days - getting more aware of life moving on too fast!

    Surprised you didn't suggest Stephen Fry but nope on both counts.

    Tony Andreu

    I think it would knock a bloke's confidence if she yelled 'let's be avin you' just as we finished a lovely Delia meal and lurve was in the air......

    Tony Andreu

    I meet with a mate who's a keen Norwich fan and we discuss all things Cov and Norwich and there's plenty of interesting overlap and history. (I even have a small claim to fame with some Norwich history but that's another story). He reckons Andreu is a headless chicken and most fans didn't rate...

    Things that annoy you

    Feel a bit guilty about using self scan as it ultimately means loss of jobs. We have self service in libraries now where you can let yourself in and never have to even speak to another person. Sad really and another loss of community.

    New Dr Who

    Yes think the baddie was just inserted to maintain some sci-fi content but felt clumsy. Think Jodie Whittaker is great except she never returns my phone calls.

    Bob Mortimer

    Vic Reeves had a radio comedy (love radio comedy - a lot of tv shows start out on radio) can't remember what it was called but it was absolutely terrible. I am a sucker for stupid catch phrases though. Don't know why but I always laughed at Vic and Bob's, "you wouldn't let it lie." Also "moon...

    New Dr Who

    Yup, did feel a bit like a lecture. That trumpety music was very clunky - that music which always gets used on American military hero misty eyed scenes. Gets on my nerves. Liked the Banksy joke.

    Chavtastic!

    Yup, I got a whack from a copper as a youngster and then a hiding from my dad when he delivered me to the front door. Felt so ashamed that the police came to the house and embarrassed my mum in the eyes of the neighbourhood. I never questioned that I didn't deserve it or that the copper should...

    Things that annoy you

    Instruction manuals with multiple languages. Some are these are as thick as the telephone directory. Such a waste of paper.

    Anjem Choudary due to be released from prison

    Anyone for crowd funding someone to attend his meetings and laugh at loud. It's hard to be taken seriously if you're continually ridiculed. Or maybe someone with a tuba playing the Laurel and Hardy tune every time he walked down the street.

    Chip shop prices

    Do miss Cov chips - used to be a good Greek one in Bell Green and Gees? at corner off Dudley Street and of course scallops which we don't get in East Anglia.

    Self gender identifying

    To be honest some of these obese women are easily the size of a small family car so 'man size' is probably out of date anyway.

    Bob Mortimer

    Yup seen him twice and it's almost a conversational routine and very funny. He's always in the bar afterwards and welcomes anyone to join him for a drink and a chat.
