Been a while since I read it, but I thought the Netflix East of Eden did a grand job. Obviously they need to make it work for TV first and foremost. Fabulous acting all round.

You watch this video halfway through and you figure the description was just joking on how bad he's murdering these other kids but no, it is literal

Tour de force from Florence Pugh in East of Eden.

Reece Sheersmith. That is all.

First whole-day-in-bed for years. Can't say I liked it that much

Sean Connery was 31 when they filmed Dr No. Anyway, the only correct answer here is jack lowden

Every now and again I see people I worked with in plays for no money doing incredible things and I am of course filled with nothing but happiness at their success.

I want a film about this trip

Got one of those colds where I feel physically able to participate in life but my nose has turned into the Trevi Fountain.

Just in case anyone was expecting a quick introduction.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (20th October 1988). "Well, we apologise for the absence of Alexei Sayle in this week's edition of Alexei Sayle's Stuff. We're attempting to right the problem, but in the meantime the programme will continue in Leslie Crowther only".

Had to put the cat down today, two weeks after my sister's funeral. Could death fuck off please.

Breaking

My daughter is tough as nails. Had a tooth out and barely flinched.

As a failed actor, I'm much angrier about anyone on telly with no talent than I am about Nepos.

I just don't feel like Kate Winslet or Timothy Spall's children are what's costing poor kids with acting talent their chance. They're missing out cos London rent is £3k so they're working doubles in Screwfix, while the kids of doctors and architects and executives and literal barons don't have to.

Ahab’s Irish granda checking in with him at Sunday dinner:

Old joke dept: Deed poll office. "Hello, I'd like to change my name, please" "What's your current name?" "Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores" "Oof, I don't blame you. What do you want to change it to?" "Hitler Mussolini Rodriguez Flores."

I'll never forget the question being asked to the speed awareness course I was in. "In a 20 zone, what speed are you legally allowed to drive?" The answers came through "26?" "22?" "It depends on the time of day I heard..." Then the answer came. "20. It's 20mph in a 20 zone" Obvious really.

Don't know who he is but I have to believe it's rage bait. However, there have always been dickhead dads so maybe not.

Sister's funeral today. Rain is always appropriate.

Our statement on the recent Green Party of England and Wales motion 'Zionism is Racism'. europeangreens.eu/news/egp-pos...

uh oh the backlash has started. get back in the horse lads

A few people debating the Nazi Bar analogy, but I'd just like to point out describing a shul as a Nazi Bar is rancid antisemitism in itself.

Me today.... So glad the weekend is almost here 🫩 Etruscan amber pendant in the shape of a monkey, height 4.7 cm. Found in Vetulonia, Italy, dating late 8th/early 7th century BC. 📷 Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Toscana

The new name of beloved brands "Fun People" and "Happy Place", after their merger will be "Cyborg Weaponry Inc".

Ed's got a new party trick of saying the name of the interviewer stopping him as he walks past. Did it with some influencer in NYC the other day too.

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.

Ahh, what a beautiful autumn evening, sweating profusely and getting a chafing rash between my buttocks. Just like the old days.

Seen a house covered in Christmas decorations and I've a good mind to call the council.

Let's base our entire business model on preconceived ideas about the British climate. Now to take a big swig of coffee and check the weather reports....

The microwave at Carmarthen cop shop got stuck on defrost.

Not the point but that aircraft marshall reminds me of someone.

'This green smoothie isn't very green this morning' I think to myself before realising I forgot to put anything green in it.

Quick and simple. A short email written in your own tone of voice. Takes 30 seconds and there could be a large number of them by lunchtime.

I don't know how you all do it. There's something in the news which is really relevant to me and my opinion on it comes from personal experience, but I'm fucked if I'm weighing in on it. Even one disagreement would ruin my day.

Phil Collins is fucking awful though

Gift or not, Gladys is cautious.

What's the single funniest scene in Sitcom history?

You actually get the sense of what it would be like to see these animals alive from this. You connect with what the artist saw.

Does anyone know why if you ask a smart speaker to play an incredibly famous song it will select a cover version by some twat you've never heard of? Or a live recording from the original artist but when they were 65 and had a voice like broken glass?

Just created some jobs. I'd give it a few minutes.

My liege...

Watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople with my soon to be 10 year old tonight. She loved it.

They say the secret to acting is reacting. But have you ever considered the concept of "pre-acting"?

"Sorry, can I put you on hold?" *Farts like the guns on the Bismark "Thank you, let's just circle back to the budget..."
