Yes, indubitably. That's the whole thrust of the dramatization - to illustrate the massive advances in the sciences between the time this bastard stalked the earth and the time he was finally brought to book. And boy, does it deliver? Incredibly well done TV. Congrats to ITV.

A little chink of light for Cov, maybe, with the recent Supreme Court ruling that Insurance companies must pay out for Business Disruption claims made during the first lockdown. Given the huge cut in income caused by the pandemic, this could be a gamechanger...

Trying to recall what 'The Fly' was about. Gonna have to look it up Better Call Saul was excellent too, and not to be missed if you watched Bad. Camino, perhaps not quite so much.

We watched it, and the documentary. Both excellent viewing.

Cheers! Prefer my whiskey as smooth as possible tbh, which is why I switched from Scotch about 30 years ago (gives me raging heartburn, which whiskey doesn't). Still going to buy a bottle though - next month...

Seen it. Not tried it. Will do one day. Still recovering from over-indulging on three different styles of Jamesons over Christmas, so it won't be for a while. Verdict on it asap please!

I'm the same age as you, and an only child. Don't see that changing! Mum did re-marry (a guy from Connecticut) in the eighties, and I inherited three step-brothers*, which came as a bit of a surprise I suppose, but nothing like yours. Rather exciting for you. *I've met one of them, briefly, but...

Shilton Lane one is still there, and very little different. Shame the nearby Jolly Colliers succumbed though. One of my old dad's (and my) favourites.

Absolute classic.

After all I said about binning it for a few weeks, this turned up on the doorstep today. Bugger.

I occasionally try the weekend-only thing. Too tough though. I find a few weeks off at a time easier somehow. Understand why you do it though.

Not 'dry January' for me (daft concept), but I'm into one of my regular breaks from it as I've got to the point where I feel I need one. I generally drink freely for a few weeks, and then have a three or four week break from it. Three days in now, and gagging for a bevvy! But I'll resist.

Giving my liver a well-earned holiday after caning the shite out of it over Christmas, so I won't be joining you. But... have one for me (I need one, but tea and coffee only terneet!). Happy Birthday!

Nice piece. WTF?

Just came across this Richard Herring podcast with Brian Blessed. It's very long (the clip, not the cock) but if you like BB as much as I do, it's worth a look. Fancy Smith, Flash Gordon, naughty lady gorillas, Picasso's Dove of Peace, and much more. Legend (IMVHO)

Was in the original Play for Today as well (The Black Stuff). Great stuff it was too. RIP Loggo.

Albert Roux has fried his last saucisson.

Colin End rings a Bell.

Saw a tweet earlier on mentioning Nijinsky. I just skimmed it, and it didn't click. Shit. What a great player he was. RIP Colin.

I Like It... But not really. RIP Gerry.
