It depends if you see him as being “big” or “small”. In the scheme of things I tend to see him as “small”. Like an annoying wasp.

And Wales. Clearly the English deaf people have to fend for themselves.

Not a lot of time,no. But someone on a WhatsApp group thought it would be funny to send a clip yesterday. If you ever Tommy, do me a favour and shake his hand

No Whelk, before the lockdown I used to have them round for tea! Seriously, what do you think?

Someone just sent me a vid of Tommy Robinson kicking off over a police van parked up catching speeding motorists. He says to them go and catch proper criminals and asks them if what they are doing is “essential work”. Yes Tommy, the police catching law breakers is essential work. FFS.

Little wonder that the death rate is so high in this country. Let’s hope that person you put at risk is ok.

Duckie, if you haven’t already, you must watch Californication. I promise you, you will love it!

Wow! I suppose I put them in the same age bracket as the other punk bands but they were obviously a bit further along!

. I can’t believe that he was 71. For some reason I thought that he was a lot younger.

Yeah, all good here thanks, although I can’t wait to get back to some kind of normality. Keep safe!

At a time when it wasn’t cool to be able to play an instrument proficiently, The Stranglers were a decent bunch of musicians. Dave Greenfield’s keyboards gave them a Doors type of sound. They also had that wonderful rumbling bass sound. Top band.

Another good series on at the moment is Breeders. The first episode is a bit full on and sweary, but it settles down into something recognisable for all those who have struggled with young kids. Again, a lot of dark humour.

Thank you Sergei. I hope all is well with you?

Dave Greenfield the keyboard player from The Stranglers has died aged 71. In hospital with a heart condition but contracted covid. One of my favourite bands of that period. RIP

Perhaps you could tell us hypo as you sprung up when I posted here? It really isn’t difficult. The righties don’t like anyone with a hint of a social conscience expressing an opinion on Internet forums (anywhere else for that matter). But this thread is about something else, so can we stick to that?

Most of the forum? If by that you mean the gang of trolls and WUMs, why is that an issue. Your idea of being “annihilated” is having someone call you a childish name. I can live with that. And as I told you over there, if you don’t like my posts, put me on ignore. Life is short, why waste it reading something you don’t like?

Hello Whelk, hope you are keeping well? It’s too late to do anything about the far right here I’m afraid. Another good show worth watching - Homeland. I nearly gave up on it a few seasons back but the final series has been excellent and the show ended on Sunday night with a perfect finale.

Annihilated? Really? It’s just the same old shtick from those with a right wing axe to grind. I guessed you were there.

No Duckie, still in the land of the living thanks! Another good show is Run on Sky Comedy I think. It’s a grower so worth sticking with.

Nope. Just lurking and letting you lot put the world to rights.

Just catching up with a binge watch of Californication. Lost it after series 3 so plenty to watch. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour. Lots of dark humour, warped LA characters and very fit women (and Hank Moody for the women).

I have not heard the news today and I wasn’t pretending that it was inside info. Just something I thought might be of interest. Unfortunately the usual c*nts on here can’t help themselves so I will leave you all to it.

Hopefully it will mean less transmission of the virus. A good thing, yes?

We will never know the numbers of course, but those who would not have had fallen sick if schools had been closed earlier might not agree with you.

You really need to grow up.
