I’m sure this has been mentioned in the comments before, but if we are talking about addiction (and this may sound glib), should only current drug addicts be allowed to play those roles? What is this need to empower those with serious health issues rather than helping them? I think this is a wholly irresponsible and…

why is the immediate reaction to debase someone’s comments with the throw off ‘straight dude right’?

Can’t we all just get along? I honestly don’t know whose shit I hate more; ignorant, bigoted right vs whiny, self-satisfied left. How many of you actually work in an environment where both views have an effect on people?

When I was 18 I was admitted to a psychiatric ward for a number of weeks, though this was apparently confidential, when I returned to work I was surprised when many colleagues would make comments on how I was ‘mental’ etc. It was 2001. Obviously mental health issues are unobservable in most cases and it became a…

eww, this is a ridiculous article. Despite the valid raised eyebrows at the ‘black for the summer’ comment, it completely ignores everything else RDJ said and the whole point of the character. Once again, a woke person reacts boomerang style to their own prejudices and over compensates. I’ll say this; in education…

But the GREATEST Xmas special ever is Father Ted. Watch, watch, watch. Every year without fail it is on, and every year without fail, it delights

Very long time since this was written, but I revisited before enivitable showing at xmas. Beautiful essay and coverage of the special. Can I add regarding background characters, the fantastic moment where Tim’s colleague offers to swap his secret santa pick to tim? What a great, almost unrecognised moment of…

from the UK, i read your website to catch up on issues an you do some great reporting but frankly getting tired of some of your frankly racist flippancy. ‘who’d pay a benjamin...oh yeah white people’, hypocrisy no?

Once again, an extremely unsportmans-like article, equaliser wan’t offside, USA took their chances...But; celebration out of order, the arrogance issue was from the press not the team (with merit by the way) and can you tell me how the USAmen’s team did in Russia? Still, fair play, the better team with cooler heads…

Jackie Brown is his masterpiece, I echo the comments of others. Have you seen that The Daily Telegraph in England has flat out told how the film ends?

Nice to see america fulling embracing the influence of Jam by Chris Morris

From the UK where serving 140 people on xmas day resulted in £89 total in tips (which was disgusting) but working behind a bar will get you 0 tips 98% of the time, I have to admit I don’t get it. Yeah I tip waiting staff for a meal out, but despite the unfairness of your wage system please get a bloody grip. It’s your…

my goodness, stop digging

As a britain, I get that min wage is withheld in US service industry, but having worked in hospitality in the UK for 12years (for minimum wage) I am amazed at the begging culture and entitlement of US staff. A tip for checking your coat? Are you serious?! I once worked a xmas day where the establishment received £80…
