Martin Clunes
I have a soft spot for Martin Clunes. It’s lasted decades. From Harry Enfield to Lovejoy to Morse to Men Behaving Badly to Arthur and George. I’ve never watched Doc Martin or A Man and His Dogs etc. If you don’t know Arthur and George, it is based on a Miscarriage of Justice involving the […]

I’m confused here and need help (?) A while back I posted a post and put in there…N.S.E.W. This is how I was brought up to recite the points of the compass. And then I had a mad thought (again!) I’m not a Catholic and have never done the Sign of the Cross as an […]
Read MoreGigglebiz
In the UAE TV is a bit “restricted.” So we’d wake up in the morning, have coffee in bed and switch on the TV. You had an early morning choice on the English speaking channels. Wacky Races. Tobermory. Scooby Doo or…….my fave Gigglebiz. Arthur Sleep the Breakfast newsreader was brilliant. Anna Conda. Keith Fit. Dina […]
Read MoreHidden Killers of the Victorian Home
Watch one Victorian video and you get VicBombed by yt recommended. Sheesh! Anyway : I’m remembering now why I don’t like and have never felt the need (before now) to study the Victorian period. This one got me because I live in an early Victorian building. And whilst I love a splash or two of […]
Read MoreWhy So Few Gravestones?
This may go some way to explain the lack of gravestones in cemeteries across the UK.
Read MoreCOMIC RELIEF
I am NOT and NEVER will be any THING’S Comic Relief. LOL at ME all you want. Diss…respect…miss…turb…troy (?)…comboblulate…. I am Lauren and her English Teacher. BOTH, together. At the same time. Read between the lines of Shakespeare and you will find a very articulate Scottish/Gobby /STFU Londoner with a HUGE attitude problem that WILL […]

Better known as RTÉ When we lived in Ireland RTE was the main TV channel. RTÉ Ireland is the planned international television channel by Ireland’s public service broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann. I loved watching The Late Late Show with Gabriel Mary “Gay” Byrne. Westlife plus Ronan Keating ? P.S. The link – Boyzone on Gay Byrne’s show […]
Read MoreIl Monte Grampio
OK. I might have some Italian DNA but beyond being polite and asking for food and drink, that’s the extent of my language skills. I understand the gist of this passage but had to look up a few words with the limited resources at my disposal. TRAMONTANA – All I could find was Northern Wind. […]
Read MoreRED DWARF
This was/is in my eldest’s Top 5 Comedy series EVER! I watched every episode of the first 3 series too and loved it because it is right up there with the very best of BIZARRE, totally inexplicable Brit humour. I have fond memories of Lister, Rimmer, Kryton, Holly and Cat and their own surreal brand […]
Read MoreGlued. Screwed. Plastered Over!
And STILL, a MAXVOL passive/aggressive Silence that says everything. Not ONE single question answered. Not ONE single truth spoken. Not ONE single climb down off that High AS Horse. I called it over a year ago. But all I got was public humiliation and my whole world destroyed, piece by narc piece…….. every single day, […]
Read MoreTerror By Night
Despite the modern MS History “stories” (!) It took a long time to get rid of….sorry….modernise British Rail. Dr Beeching and his pals in government may have won in the end but, there were certain routes that survived the Brave New BR plan. Namely the route from King’s Cross that goes all the way from […]
