About his acting skills...yes! That was based exclusively upon what I had seen on the box. I must say that the degree of my aversion was prolly also influenced by the completely unjustified extent to which he was hyped up a few years back. Equally, I should say, there are others who share my opinion of the demeanour he appears to exude when walking around the streets of ED.

He used to frequent local pubs more err frequently than he does now. I and a few people I know have met him and he's actually a pretty nice bloke, who was happy to help out on a quiz machine or talk about footy.


Having said that I've seen him out with a group of 'pals' more recently and that 'air' was discernible. But then fame and success will always attract arse-kissing types, I guess the trick is never to believe the hype.


Not that that will ever really be an issue for me!!

ah yes, the old "I'll-say-it-will-never-happen-to-me" which means now it just might trick - to be fair Mockney you have had your work published which is more than most of us. In fact I'm sure I have seen you in the Bishop, downing double-rums like a proper star....


As for Jimmy - poor lad. I haven't seen so much of him since he moved but he was always happy to chat in the pubs watching football.

oi leave me out of this.

This thread seems to have descended into a rally about whether James Nesbitt is alright...


Coincidentally I was up at the TDF roll-out this morning [fantastic BTW] and ran into David Bathurst, who played the posh bloke in Cold Feet. He used to come into my bookshop occasionally, and was always just so nice in a way Hugh Grant only wishes he could be.


Also coincidentally the last series of Cold Feet was script doctored by a friend of mine. Small world eh?

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
