The Handmaid's Tale on C4 Sunday. First episode was fantastic. Properly creepy and unpleasant in places but great writing and acting.

:icon_lol:

I'm recording all of the old TOTP from BBC4. My god, people say chart music is bad these days - they clearly don't remember 1983. 99% shite. And New Order's live rendition of Blue Monday might be one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Cycled through the park this morning where they have a nice rose garden so now I have And as the second comment says: That's some hard core "white people dancing" right there

.

Dan can't swim so this won't be of use to him, but several people at our kayak club have been "prescribed" kayaking for their back problems by their doctors and physios. Works wonders. And I reckon after a certain age, all physical exercise is better done sitting down.

Good work, YW. Impressive stuff.

Manchester by the Sea - I have to say, I don't really see what all the fuss was about. It's basically a mid-afternoon TV movie melodrama with added Bostonian swearing. Watchable enough with good performances but nothing outstanding but it wasn't particularly interesting visually. And I don't...

I can recommend cycling for sorting out lower back problems. I used to suffer chronically but since I started cycling to work about 10 years ago, I haven't really suffered at all with it. And it's not necessary to be a lycra-clad road warrior with a top-end racing machine.

Sound advice. We do much the same in our kayak training sessions (obviously not the going up hills bit).

Can just about go under 25 minutes. My calf muscles still tend to rebel and put me out of action for a few weeks if I go too hard.

Yeah, I'm the same. Never quite connected with me in the same way as Mudhoney and Nirvana. Similar with Pearl Jam. They were still a big part of my early '90s musical landscape though. Awful news

As Charlie Brooker said - it's pretty much just a shit you haven't had yet.

Tickets to the National at Hammy O in September duly secured. Damp with excitement already.

He seems to be getting away with incompetence on a massive scale and demeaning his office with barely a hint of serious criticism. The reaction just seems to be, "That's Donald!"

Stop talking about him Dino and he'll be replaced on here by someone a bit less evil very soon, I'm sure, and then he'll be consigned to the history books where he belongs.

The McDonald's ad using a bereaved child to sell its shite Filet o' Fish is particularly crass.

It's not exactly laden with direct quotes, is it?

I thought the Charles character was pretty good, nicely Shakesperean, but everyone else was, as Johnny says, just shallow caricatures.

New single out by The National today, album out in September, tour dates in September - four nights at the Hammy Odeon (no, I'm still not going to call you the Eventim Apollo). Day well and truly made.
