Bunch of bullshitters. I've never had a Tunnocks bar that size.

It's extremely Wodehouse. Stilton Cheesewright, Tuppy Glossop, Finty Trussler.

The G'wan Ronnie brigade are some of the weirdest cunts going. They give Swifties a run for their money in terms of parasocial fandoms.

As one of the UKFF's newest members (along with @BomberPat) I've only been posting for coming up on a decade and a half. It's the Viz of forums, and that's as high a praise as I can give anything. My life would be a lot emptier without this place, which is perhaps a 10% indictment on me, but is mostly because it's actually bloody great.

An absolute banger. Was an actual song called Waiting For You, by Andre Brasseur. /

End of Oak Street was good stuff. Least annoying I've found McGregor in anything for a while. Anne Hathaway is excellent at looking scared. I think my partner is a psychopath, she was laughing like a drain when I don't have much hope in my survival when we inevitably end up in a similar situation.

Thought Richard O'Sullivan had died a few years back, then realised I'd got him confused with Mike Yarwood who lived in the same retirement home. Losing him is even worse the second time around.

I had fun, main event and McGuinness Vs Moxley being my highlights. I'm really, really pleased they are running a smaller venue next time by the sounds of it. The amount of tarp and ocean going spaces on the ground level negated the fact that it was still a very impressive attendance.

I was in Ryman's yesterday and they had their back to school stuff out despite the fact that it's 13 months until the new academic year starts. It's absolutely ridiculous.

A masterpiece. It's this sort of joyous incompetence which AI is ruining.

War criminal Ratko Mladic dead at 84. Fuck, another legend gone. Can't believe it. Three in three days

I know musicals are considered with the same esteem as sex pests on here but I unashamedly love Rocky Horror and the main reason, as it is for everyone who likes it, is Tim Curry's performance (and Christopher Biggins as an extra). He lifted everything he ever appeared in and you'd always be genuinely excited for his scenes. A one off.

And it was superb. I got there early like a saddo to get to the front and had the best time. Crowd was shockingly good for a Wednesday in Southend and the whole band seemed really engaged.

Possibly being a bit presumptuous in setting this thread up. It's possible that no one famous will die this year.

Get your bucket hat on and lead the pub in a heartfeld rendition of Wonderwall because Oasis are back and people are going MAD FER IT. Always the Mongo McMichael of the 4 Horsemen of Britpop behind Pulp, Blur and Suede in my eyes. Good on them for absolutely coining it in with this though. Anyone remortgaged the house to go?

Things that you know will be terrible before you watch them/listen to them. Inspired by this forthcoming show straight from Alan Partridge's dictaphone.

It is the Double Decker, which must surely rank somewhere near the wheel in terms of brilliant inventions. I've just picked up the attached four pack and am about to head down to Decker town. It has it all; chocolate, marshmallow and that crunchy stuff. A masterpiece. I would still like to hear alternative opinions and then explain why they are wrong.

Spotted while having a browse on Wikipedia. I would have changed my name to Roy Jones too. What are great names you have come across? My favourite in my friend circle is the mighty Asher von Hippel, a name I can only imagine his (German) Dad and (Indian) Mum designed after each being given half naming rights and deciding upon it entirely in isolation from each other.

A thread for me, HG and probably Chilli. Definitely King Coconut too. One of the best things I have seen in the past couple of months is the Play That Goes Wrong. Slapstick absurdity and a set that collapses lots, it's top. Also saw a horrendous production of Winter's Tale the week before last. Up its own arse to an absurd extent. The entire crux of the play is that Leonetes is supposed to not be sullied to the extent that he can't be resurrected in the second act. You had Leonetes here playing Phil Mitchell. Going mental every three seconds, punching his child, kneeing his wife in the gut, beating the shit out of his mates, shouting randomly. I don't know why the director felt that this was meant to make me like him in the second act. The best part of the play was when they did this bit showing Leonetes' dead wife on the screen, lot like Taker after he got put in the casket in '93. But the technician fucked it up, so while Leonetes is blubbing and wailing as per, the screen says 'TEST, TEST. PLEASE INSERT WIRE'. I've got Mikado in a fortnight, same all male cast who I saw do Pinafore last year and they were outstanding. Very much looking forward to it. What are you watching in the theatre? Is it good, is it bad?
