Two RIPs: Jim Sherwood, musician with Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, died Christmas Day, aged 69; Bob Weston, guitarist with Fleetwood Mac, died January 3, aged 64.

Sure, Grassy, there are some things which are universal gags - pratfalls, pie-in-the-face, very broad, slapstick type of 'humour' which is now often decried as 'not smart enough' in this country. Lots of countries enjoy comedy sitcoms (they don't come much broader than those in Egypt and India)...

:lol::lol: We ave standard z too up hldo on ere u no!

WHAT? :blink: You been at the rubbing alcohol again, darling?

"Looks like yer pump's clogged, mate. Corrr, I dunno. About £200 to sort it, I reckon." Interesting - where have the plastic 'additives' come from?

Yes, I think she did, G-G. Possibly a politically-correct gong. The subject matter's not without some interest, especially to latterday Germany with its continuing love of Nazism among some of its inhabitants from Lower Moronia, but although I probably saw only 2/3 of it and then read up on...

:lol: That's probably right - by the time the workers have struck at least five times for this or that, worked strictly to non-shifts, had their mandatory tea and lunch breaks... hey! North Korea! How about extending the hand of friendship and building a nice boat for our Queenie? Done and...

But that's the point, isn't it, Grassy? By all means shock and awe your audiences with a brilliantly satirical expostion, full of wit - and logic - in attacking what's wrong, although the sort of audience which attends such a gig will know what it appreciates. That's what most of 'the Arts'...

I don't consider anything involving dead/disappeared/abused kids to be the slightest bit funny. I don't have any children, so I can only imagine the horror and grief involved. Someone like Boyle wouldn't give a sh1t if, for example, the McCanns killed themselves following his cheap taunts...

Had a bash at viewing The Reader last night (the Winslet Girl again), but felt rather hit over the head with the issue of modern German angst over historic German shame. Probably very worthy in highlighting the dichotomy of whether to feel shame for a past in which one played no part, etc...

I'm all for it if it's going to be plied for hire to the hoi polloi (or even the riff-raff) - trips round Blighty, £5,000 per person per week; trips to see Prince Pip's homeland, £2,500, etc. - all profits after costs into the RNLI, hospices, kids' playgrounds, etc., etc., and all those worthy...

If he wants to be a political satirist, as against a so-called 'comedian', then fine. By all means take on, strongly and offensively, everything that irks him. But knocking Israel is a soft target, and mocking the parents of an abducted and possibly dead child is the sort of thing to get most...

What is this - the Cryptic Tipping Crossword? Can we have the number of letters, and whether it's across or down, please. ;)

Hmm, I'd get a bit concerned that the lappy isn't taking over your persona, Ice. Watch out when it starts the kettle up, toasts your brekkie bread, and defrosts the freezer overnight. When it begins singing "I'm not a robot... " then I'd whup out the hard drive. You don't want it controlling...

Harry, you still refuse to answer a simple question, which is a bit pathetic. But you're welcome to your incontinence and ranting.

Just Googled it for reviews, Clivex, and I see it's about - simply put - addiction to sex. I thought there was a book by Coetzee called 'Shame' and wondered if it was a film version of that, but obviously it's not.

I won't, Arkers, until something's confirmed, but there was nothing on any results/analysis that I could find.

:lol: Fair call, Slimboy!

Answer the question about your own child - how would you feel if she had a total stranger, hiding behind a forum, calling her a bitch? Okay with you? There is a low-level male culture of calling women very nasty names which is unacceptable. As a parent of a girl, you should be setting a...

Nice call with the OAP, there, Del! I like the old fellow a lot, but picked out FOUR CHIMNEYS for myself. Bussy pretty much mashed his way through the last two, but a win's a win! Good Godawmighty, Slim - and you hold down a job and girls as well????! What's that link to "Poor Performance"...
