I went to Beckenham Odeon last night with one of my bitches and we saw this wonderful film. We knew nothing about the movie at all and it was chosen purely on the premise that we felt like laying back for an hour and a half and wondering what it might be like to kiss George Clooney on the mouth.


It's a marvellous film and it was a pleasant surprise to see a Hollywood film that doesn't fit neatly into a genre. And it didn't have a Hollywood ending to boot - how rare is that? The female leads were not cast from models central which was a bonus - they were just good actors. The wedding scenes in particular warmed my heart - the characters and the acting felt very real. The plot calls for a lot of scenes where characacters are being laid off work and that wasn't easy viewing because obviously behind every lay-off there is a a family and hardship to come. Some very well observed moments and some very funny moments. Did I mention George? I don't like to go on but he gets better and better with age and I most definitely would.


Recommended. Go see.

Yes me too Karter - as soon as he got out of the car and started running towards the house I knew exactly what was going to happen. That was a turning point in the movie because up until then I'd pigion-holed it as a rom-com because the chemistry between the two leads was all sexed-up. So when the door opened I was thinking "WTF - what sort of movie is this?". I guess it's a movie about a man who wants to make changes?

Not really Gigsy,

you wanted to know what it would be like to throw him to the ground and have your wicked way,

thus leaving a dried husk of a spent male.........



I guess that's what women in their prime think?

    • Sue, we are in a similar position - though not quite as ancient as you! 🤣 Ours is a 21 year old Honda Civic.  Reliable as hell, IS ULEZ compliant, passes all the tests, MOTS etc.  BUT, as it sits on the drive most of the time, is now as dead as a doornail to the extent that we can no longer open it with the fob, though we are able to open the passenger door only, with the key.  Jump leads didn't work, so hubby bought a "starter" similar to what breakdown companies use.  Nowt.  Hubby then called out the AA who were able to start it via their van.  However, the AA advised leaving the car running for at least an hour and a half.  We decided not to do that as the fumes would be unpleasant for us and our neighbours.  They also informed us that unless we replaced the battery, we would not be able to call them out again.  Long story short, once we turned the engine off it wouldn't re-start.  So, hubby has now bought a trickle charger from Argos (roughly £35 and AA approved).  Apparently it could take up to 100 hours to charge and given that we don't want to leave it charging overnight or in the rain, it will be a while before we will know whether this has solved the issue.  So, watch this space! I am hoping this £35 will be a good investment.
    • The coop of Forest Hill Road is very different- cheerful and helpful staff 
    • Would you expose your young people to 'that man'? That is apparently a real question. 'That man' is in fact a retired Oxford Professor of Moral & Pastoral Theology who wrote a book setting out to provide a moral reckoning on the vexed subject of Britain's Empire and its history. What might formerly have been a purely academic matter has become highly contentious, and according to one Cambridge academic "serious shit" that needed to be CLOSED DOWN. It's all rather amazing, the stuff of satire or nightmare but not of the real world. Anyway, Lord Biggar accepted an invitation to visit Peckham and speak to and with a small audience that was due to include young Black students ... who in the end didn't come on the day! Having set the whole thing up to facilitate this encounter for them, the outcome was a disappointment. The conversation with Lord Biggar and audience was not:
