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 […]

Deepest apologies. Sandi Toksvig, fellow Scandinavian :o( But – and y’all – I do gossip sometimes so……. It is rumoured that Alan Davies got in a big girly huff when Stephen Fry left QI and did not want to work with Danish/English writer/comedienne Sandi Toksvig. Or so they say (?) Anyways. They seem to have […]

I’ve been to this bar a few times in the past but ONLY ONCE did I make it onto the balcony (with sharp elbows and a polite sorry or several) to watch the street performers in the square below. Oooooh. Where to go with this one, GB? Punch and Judy or Jugglers? Both of which […]

I’ve just been reminded by s-i-l that when we stayed at the Savoy Hotel together, we walked from the Strand to somewhere (Covent Garden?) via a back street and just happened to meet Mr John Inman.

Sometimes. OK. Quite often. I truly despair of where my brain takes me. This morning it was to Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber. A quick wiki search brought up the fact that this story was first published in the Penney Dreadfuls that I’d talked of recently. I had no idea about that fact!!!! I was […]

OK. Not this vid exactly. I have all episodes on DVD and was watching the one with the escaped prisoner/train toilet door/lost on the Moooooors/local pig farmers/Louis’ death by shotgun. I laughed so hard that the knife slipped and I lost several pints of blood. Mayhaps….. I’ve exaggerated a tiny bit there (?)
