Like @ichabod, it makes no difference to me what people say.  I love it or don’t and other peoples opinions, although sometimes interesting, do not sway me a jot.

@joshamus: I don’t suppose it was Steven Moffat’s idea to tell all. The media love to cause, what they think, is a sensation. As for what  I think? It doesn’t bother me one…[Read more]

We haven’t heard – as yet – of any looting. One thing which has annoyed my OH and I, is that they are going ahead with the Commonwealth Games? It’s going to cost millions, which to our mind would be better served in helping ALL the flood victims. Sport can wait.

@thane15:

Oh good grief! we watched the TV news this morning, those poor people.

A friend of ours lives in Palm Springs and so far all is well, not even power cuts. She was explaining that there are many creeks and rivers in Queensland, so with the run off from the mountains it will be disaster for low lying areas those poor animals too. Thank…[Read more]

@ichabod:

Yes, I do know what you mean.

@joshamus;

Hello there, I add my welcome to the rest.

Like  Thane15, I’m a big admirer of Moffat , Gatiss and Capaldi.

However, if I felt hat something didn’t gel, I would mention it.

Missy.

I don’t think I have asked this before. did anyone see “In the Loop?”

Very course, but very funny. It brought tears to my eyes.

Missy

@missrori:

Ah, I thought you meant the actual actor who played the part of TGI., so point taken.

Missy

Thane and Puro.

Let us hope that Debbie will bow herself out very soon. Why lie in the bath? How in the world would that help?

We’ve been to Brisbane and the Gold coast a few times, in fact Brisbane reminded us very much of London in some areas. alas, the humidity precluded any thoughts of moving there.

Missy

We’ve been watching horrific news coverage about Cyclone Debbie and the damage being caused in Queensland.
I’m sure that all of us hope fervently that any members who live there are safe.

Missy

@missrori:

Re- Beauty and the Beast. Damn, my husband and I are going to see this.

We are talking about the same film aren’t we?  Richard. E. Grant played The Great Intelligence in The Snowmen.

Missy

Any of you seen this?

Rove McManus “geeks out” on new ABC series Whovians, nerd central for Dr Who fans.

It airs on Sunday 16th. April at 8,30 on ABC 2.

I for one will be watching.

Missy

@craig: Listened to this, it’s quite manic isn’t it. It put me in mind of Heaven Sent.

Missy

Oh they will believe me.  If the ‘grit’ hasn’t been washed out of them, surviving this is a walkover compared to the blitz.

Such a relief that our London Bobbies still aren’t armed. Strutting around bristling with guns hasn’t helped other countries, in fact quite the reverse.

Praise to the Response team for only firing three times!  Better t…[Read more]

Not much longer my dears.

Missy

@winston:

I couldn’t agree more.  If you don’t like the series that fine, each to their own, but anyone who said that it was ‘silly/stupid’, should do what Mark suggested, read a children’s book.

Missy

@theconsultingdoctor:

Understood. I felt that the second episode (film) was a little complicated and manic, until you click that Sherlock has planned  it all. Other than that, the whole series – in my opinion –  was worth the wait.

I really must read the rest of the posts soon – there as sooo many.

Missy

I haven’t got much time today, so as I want to read ALL your comments, I shall keep this short.

Not being any good at analysis, i waited until I’d seen this twice (all of them twice actually) before having a say.

In a nutshell, all three were superb. The writing and acting was exemplary.

In the second – The Lying Detective – it took me…[Read more]

@thane15:  The whole thing can be mind boggling.

Missy

@thane15:

So sorry for delay. I did send a PM, but not you.  Very strange.

And NO, I didn’t break the internet *big grin* I haven’t got the expertise required.

Thank you for letting me know.

Missy

I hope that this is the right place for this. I found it to be thought provoking.

 

George Carlin – comedian of the 70’s and 80’s – eloquent…and so appropriate:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but…
