I?m enjoying Californication at the moment. It has a pretty shallow plot and explores the much rehashed theme of the man (or-woman of course) unto himself (or herself) going through life bemused by its absurdity, repulsed but dependent at the same time.


Raul Duke, Henry Chinaski, the Dude or Spider Jerusalem but packaged in a more, ?your mum will fancy him? kinda way.


It is playing up to my recent loss of faith in human nature (Like the Daily Mail to a Xenophobic). Plus it has lots of naked ladies.

old hat

Sopranos was the one for the Keef household, but alas it's all over.


Best British made thing was Ideal, but that's finished now too (I think).


Quite liked Rome too, but don't think they're doing a 3rd series... Why have all the good things ended.


Other than that, TV is generally sh!te, I tend to watch DVD's in my evenings.


Am planning to get some DVDs of The Wire and Spooks to give them a go... I find it hard getting in to TV series, because you have to commit to finding the time to watch them.

From what I read, Gene gets a transfer down to London (cue soft southern jokes) in 1982 (if memory serves), and is given a female partner who is a single mother (cue sexist jokes). Sounds bloody great to me!!! >:D<

Thanks for the warning Sean & Mockney resisted reading that blog (well don't want to ruin it now do I), AND then.......................

"Damn you,........ damn you all"


Still Randy is so funny & some good eye candy in Joy & Catalina :))

>>Another show I'm in to and I can highly recommend is Weeds <<


Oh ym goodness yes! The lecture by the uncle to the young nephew on the subject of masturbation in the last series was just hilarious!....as were all the subsequent visual jokes involving snacks of bananas...:))

Who is watching repeats of "No Angels" on Trouble. Funny and sad I think it is brilliant british comedy drama. As some will know I'm very parochial regarding TV. Got to be British. got to be relevant to me and my life.



Caught a little of The Street last night. Is that harrowing or what. Is it any good?

This is what I'm currently watching:

Have been addicted to Japanese tv since my late teens (many moons ago) Japanese drama, comedy and romance series are second to none.


The only thing worth watching at the moment on UKTV for me is the new series of The Mighty Boosh, and I really miss the IT crowd it has to be said.

Has anyone been watching the Tudors on BBC2?


It's the last one next Friday. I thinks it's been brilliant and didn't realise Henry VIII was so hot when he was young! The guy playing his brother-in-law is gorgeous too.


Lots of sex and violence, but set in an historical drama, so acceptable!

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
