Could've sworn it used to have scouse bloke and a robot in it.

I also have Britney in my guilty pleasures, but it's the Sly & Robbie remix of Piece of me

This isn't a thread about emotional intimacy and relationship issues? Ah well...

[Adventures of a Plumber in Outer Space]

Trawling through the depths of Amazon Prime's lower backwaters I came across the cheapest, tackiest and most ill-begotten movie - Adventures of a Plumber in Outer Space - it looked like an ironic bit of risqué fun but was so crap I reckon the producer must be sleeping with someone at Amazon.

It's basically a 2019 attempt to recreate the British sex comedies of the seventies, but without the acting talent, production budget or any actual nudity. At 43 mins I wonder if it was a soft (or hard) core porno that's had all the tits and bums removed, but this is so amateurish I really can't fathom why it's there.

Seriously, I don't recommend watching it  but take a look and tell me how that shite gets onto a global streaming platform.

Well it's nice to have you back.

Did you ever whip that am-dram group into shape? 

Err, that wasn't Judge TIM Currie in prog 620, but former conservative government minister Edwina Currie - her career was derailed by the salmonella-in-eggs scandal, but she is now more famous for having revealed that she'd been secretly shagging PM John Major.

Coronavirus Rhapsody

That is definitely a great collection of stories, and if I was recommending a place for a new reader to start it might be that volume.

Yup, this is always my answer to the question "which Dredd book should I read first?"

If they had that many ships, why didn't they mount their own evacuation?  And if they made the ships afterwards, why are Romulans just a bunch of bums now?  Why didn't they just relocate their government to one of their hundreds of planets and start over with even more restrictive government powers to capitalise on the disaster?  I mean, they're an empire and not a single planet.  I guess we, the viewers, are expected to fill in the gaps by saying "they felt sad because Romulan 1 went boom-boom so they all became space hobos" or something, but that kind of thing should ideally be in the text of the show.

Where do you get the bums and hobos bit? They may not be the power they once were, having lost the centre of their empire, but they still seem to be depicted as a force to be reckoned with, given that they 'negotiated' control of the cube with strictly controlled federation access.

He saw how 2020 was going and knew when to fold 'em.

My  nephew's a primary school teacher and even though they're still open to the end of the week, attendance was about 20% yesterday.

"I hope you're not going shopping"  I said to my mum. "Of course not" she replied, "if we need any bits, your dad gets them when he picks up the newspaper" 

Although I think the seriousness is sinking in as she was shocked that there was no gin in Aldi on Monday.

I told work I'd just flown back from Canaries and that I felt fine, no temperature, but I do have a chesty cough (mainly from smoking too much) - they told me not to come in! 

One minute twelve seconds. That's how long it took Wells to lower the tone. And that's including the music.

I see Fish has cancelled his current Uk tour after 1 day.

Virus or just shit? 



Way things are going, I think this thread is cancelled for a while...

I've never heard of a Sin-eater...disturbing!

Unless I'm mis-remembering horribly, it was John Smith's original title for Devlin Waugh.

I first came across the term from a Spiderman villain in the 80s, but it was years before I discovered the origin of the name
