Outside the timeframe for this article, but I can recommend Julian Cope’s two volumes, Head On and Repossessed.

Can’t wait for Volume 2 (next year at the very earliest - this man is thorough).

Came down here to say this - it’s a great book.  I actually got the audio version of him reading it.  Highly recommended.

I suspect as its use becomes more common, people will get used to it and it will soon be no harder to read than an article full of he/him/she/her.

I remember little of the first one and almost nothing of the second. My only strong memory from watching the franchise so far is realising that one scene based in New York was happening inside a building where I once went to a work Christmas Party. In Liverpool.

It’s a terrible joke.  I’ll generally give some allowance for controversial jokes if they are really funny, but this one wouldn’t make the grade even if it wasn’t about somebody being shot dead fairly recently.

Season 3 wasn’t that bad until they rushed the ending. Looks like this season will be the same. It’s like they’ve been writing a 12-parter only to be told after completing 6 episodes that it’s actually an 8-parter.

Very good point.

And synths!

The accountants are fine - it’s just an introductory offer delivered in a “zany” way.  Although I’m not sure how effective it has been because I live in the UK and this article is the first I’ve heard of “Bier”.

And if you’re in your 50s, the idea that anything that happened post millennium is in any way “different” to what’s on the radio today is even more risible. Let’s take a look at the 70s for example. We start with psychedelia, country rock, prog, folk rock etc. We then move quickly into glam and heavy metal, reggae…

Schwimmer’s physical comedy in that episode was fucking outstanding. Willis not-so-much.  I like the guy, but that Emmy was a travesty.

Moonlighting was really great until (well, we all know when it stopped being great). But he was truly terrible in Friends. IMHO.

Took me a few seconds to work out why this sounded familiar.

Now you need to apologise to Wanda Sykes for making this all about coffee.

It’s like the entire cast have been told they are playing Billy Idol.

I kind of know what you mean - for years, every time he opened his mouth it was either something very insightful and interesting, or some obnoxious nonsense. Sadly, over time, the latter instances have started to seriously outnumber the former.

This made me laugh...a lot.  Thank you.  Although to be fair, if artofWJD had instead specified Crown Heights, the comment would have worked.  Brooklyn’s a big place.

If Chris Rock (who, let’s remember, is a very successful comedian) was prepared to instantly read a joke, fed to him by teleprompter that he’d not seen before, live on stage in front of a huge worldwide audience, then he deserves slapping.

At least he’d remembered the right-hand lead.
