Oooh - I did not know that. Reading it I was thinking, “well some of what he says has merit, although it’s a bit shitty focusing on Islam when you could say similar things about other religions and political ideologies” but then he doubled down by unironically claiming Christianity is the shining hope.  Not good.

How is having 3 entries bringing up the “rear”?

“John Rhys Davies’ Sallah is back, and who doesn’t love that?”

I’m the first to argue that Meghan’s treatment in the British press has been appalling.  But I have absolutely no idea how she has been treated within the royal family, and frankly don’t really care.  As with the Oprah interview, I would really struggle to care less about seeing this.

It really is the perfect album.

It will be even harder now to listen to Songbird without tearing up.

“Some people were overreacting, which made some people underreact”

To be fair, I still think of her as a child. But only because I loved her My Name is Earl episode so much. Missi Pyle and she were fantastic as the mother and daughter knife-throwing act.

Richard Lewis is a name that always raises a smile for those of us who grew up in Liverpool. The (now closed) department store Lewis’s has a Jacob Epstein statue over its main entrance, “Liverpool Resurgent”, whose state of undress inevitably leads to him being known locally as “Dicky Lewis”.

Yes but she’s not doing a paper round.

Ms Robbie seems to be a hard-working young thing.  It feels like a movie comes out every month with her in it.  I don’t know where she finds the time.

That was staggeringly patronising.

Our Christmas season annual viewings include the Christmas episode of 70s British sitcom The Good Life - one of my top 5 all-time favourite sitcom episodes.

Betteridge’s Law twice in one headline!

I just like them to be funny.

The stunning and emotional final episode of Derry Girls.

Knightly may have been 17, but I’m assuming her character wasn’t. And the bestie was doing his best to stay away from her, and only explained himself when she became aware. I think his “enough” as he walks away is a good indication that he’s a decent bloke who has unfortunately developed a crush on his mate’s wife.

I have long argued that Rickman’s character is just flirting rather than engaging in a full-blown affair (though it has been confirmed by the script editor that he was definitely having an affair). And I still argue that the CD is the better present. The necklace is a shiny and expensive thing which he assumes she…

I believe that his original diagnosis turned out to be wrong. A doctor who was watching him being interviewed, realised that he should be dead by now, and followed up with him.  The revised diagnosis led to the successful surgery.

Imagine Around the World in 80 Days now. You could do that in 3 flights in under 48 hours.
