Christmas TV thread
Carnelian Finally caught up with the end of the Esio Trot story. Quite a heart warming little tale. I'm not a big fan of James Cordon at all but can't understand why so many hated his asides to his on-screen daughter. I thought they were a nice touch and in no way detracted from the drama. [ more ]
Cosmopolitan Originally Posted by Madame Arcati: I watched it and thought they made a fair fist of it but, like Cosi, could not help but compare it to the splendid earlier version. Also, when she was on screen, I found myself mesmerised by Miss Mapp's alarming teeth. The McEwan/Scales version was a tough act to follow, though. Yeah, a fair fist is very a good description, but I'm disappointed that I couldn't like it more; I wanted to love it and be glad that I'd not missed it. I guess that's anticipation... [ more ]
Madame Arcati Originally Posted by Cosmopolitan: Originally Posted by Madame Arcati: Did anyone watch 'Mapp and Lucia'? I did. I think I was spoiled by recently re-watching the McEwan/Scales series, Madame. It looked promising so I'm not sure if it was the script or whether some of the casting wasn't quite right. Dennis Lill will always be Major Benjy for me - Quai Hai! and Steve Pemberton had a tall order following Nigel Hawthorne as Georgie. I really wanted to like it. What about you, did you enjoy it?

On arrival at Sheffield midland it was raining and the famous Sheffield Tap was very much to our liking. Thus we didn't venture into the city. Later we discovered the old number seven in Barnsler..

Garage Joe I agree with Velvet. The former is fine. I used to inter-rail all over Europe. One always met someone of interest. The latter is not recommended.

El Loro Cinds, I do run payrolls for some of my clients but only monthly ones. I wouldn't want to be having to run payrolls every week of the year as that's too much commitment to make as I don't have staff to do them if I'm not around. It also makes dealing with RTI reports to HMRC a lot less hassle. As a result I've had no comeback from HMRC for the returns. The only "generic notification" I've had from HMRC was when a client had paid the PAYE/NI for a month on the 23rd of the following month,... [ more ]

Steph and Dom meet Nigel Farage
Former Member Watched it out of curiosity, they seemed very uncomfortable with each other , didnt get the point of it all?? Not sure if plying Farage with drink made it more interesting. Nice house though! [ more ]
Saint Need to watch it all first But on a 5min viewing - it all came across as terribly forced Steph and Dom appeared a pair of smug, self important toffs [ more ]
Carnelian I watched it and Farage came over as a natural, likeable bloke - albeit one who likes a drink a bit too much. As many of us do! If you're of the mind to vote Ukip or swaying in that direction, this was good publicity for Ukip. He's no Adolf in waiting but he is definitely one who is not all he seems. I don't think I really got to the guts of the man as clearly Farage is very good at appearing clubable and is a far better media operator than any other party leader - including the PR boy...

Garage Joe "Ear shattering carnage!" See!? This has been another example of what we used to call, "New Headmaster syndrome!" Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, along comes a new level of badness. That was awful, particularly the last half hour. The Smith gadjie was too piercing, man.
