emma or davina
Carnelian Blimey, that's a blast from the past! My opinion hasn't changed. I liked that girl who, apparently, put too much salt in the housemate's food and they all turned on like she was Adolf incarnate. Still can't stand Davina, not just for that but her general way of playing to a pitchforked mob! Thanks for remembering bubbles! [ more ]

Manchester under threat!
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing In Scotland we say K'-hoon - or very close. It's hard to describe a sound with accuracy. There's a half pronounced vowel sound after the initial 'K' sound, Sort of a cross between 'i' as in if and a as in hat. El Loro's 2nd link on pronunciation is how we say it, [ more ]
El Loro There's a BBC article on various names which people haven't been able to pronounce them correctly, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44630061 Although most of the names do indicate how they should be said, one of them isn't. That's Colquhoun. I wonder how people here would say that. Here's some attempts on the "How to pronouce" site. https://www.howtopronounce.com/colquhoun/ And here's how I think it should be pronounced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7IkOnEKISU [ more ]

Sprout I may be more for them if I knew they all paid their proper taxes [ more ]
Cold Sweat I managed to do a pub and a Costa heading home this evening! I was a bit sniffy about them until around Jan/Feb this year I had a 50 minute wait on the concourse at Inverness railway station so rather than freeze I took the plunge with a mug of cappuccino within the confines of a warm Costa café.

Eugene's Lair I'm old enough to remember when - by law - you weren't allowed to see into a bookies from the street outside. It gave them a fairly seedy image. IMO, by trying so hard to get rid of that image, a lot of bookies instead now feel rather clinical. As I've said above though, they can get quite lively when there's a major race or other sports results coming in. The thing about "zero atmosphere" is that in the old days, many of those who regularly frequented bookies tended to retire to the local... [ more ]
Eugene's Lair A bookies? I thought most towns had several nowadays. My town centre certainly has loads - so many in fact that I've lost count. [I've just done a quick Google Maps search, it says there are 9 in the town centre area (which sounds about right), and another 5 within about half a mile of the town centre. In the centre, there are 3 William Hills within about 500 yards of each other, and a triangle of 3 Ladbrokes no more than about 300 yards from each other! ] Of course, it's the Fixed Odds... [ more ]

Eunice Gayson has died (from Dr. No)
Eugene's Lair ❤️
Eugene's Lair It is extraordinary, isn't it? It's also extraordinary to think about the effect "Dr No" had when it came out. Audiences really hadn't seen anything quite like it before, and the way in which Bond was introduced - something which Eunice Gayson played a big part in, of course - had a lot to do with that... [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities How coincidental. Just this morning I was reading an online article: JAMES BOND’S ALL TIME HIGH: REMEMBERING “OCTOPUSSY” ON ITS 35TH ANNIVERSARY. But as ever, this is sad news [ more ]
