I've been told that it can be risky for a man to dance like that without the right support ...

A happy 300th birthday to wine connoisseur, tennis enthusiast, Festival Of Light figurehead, Algarve resident ... so many strings to his bow including bow legged dancing. A toast to the Peter Pan of pop - Sir Harry Webb/Sir Cliff Richards-zizz!

I remember Rock Follies but didn't see it. Apparently an influence on Sally Wainwright. We watched Riot Women in the hope that it would be one of those so-bad-it's-great dramas with unintentional laughs. It's no even that good!

National Front supporter, harasser of women. Sure he was a lovely bloke apart from that though.

Everyone loves June. Terry was apparently a rather unpleasant man. Also a South African Apartheid enthusiast. Enough said.

I bothered myself with it for all of 15 minutes but glad to be of service :)

Thank you - everyone else is raving about it though. It's probably just me.

Another TV drama in which women have stressful lives but they somehow manage to be quirky and endearing as a way to completely avoid going off the rails

*rolls eyes*

Yeah, despite all the amputations ...

Anyway, don't bother. It's condescending nonsense. I lasted about 15 minutes!

Riot Women (2025) is an acclaimed drama by the acclaimed Sally Wainwright. Five amazing strong menopausal laydeez™️ endure stress, the menopause and the inevitable quirky lifestyles but find that their lives are saved by rock 'n' roll 🎸

Terry is horrified that wife June has decided to adopt a younger image which involves wearing a rubber jacket, leopard print leggings and a comedy punk wig. The audience of Terry And June were helpless with laughter (ROFL).

Close detail of June Whitfield in comedy punk wig, comedy punk make up, black earrings and studded choker. She has pursed lips.

Terry looks on aghast as June has decided to buy some "vinyls" as the wankers - sorry, youngsters - call them. I presume they would have to give up listening to Sing Something Simple as part of this new regime (with hilarious consequences).

I don't mind it. Most of it's good hearted and you don't get much of that on the internet. Also there are a lot of film and music recommendations about people who've died that I've found useful. Won't be listening to Lostprophets though 🤢

I started to eat a sandwich outdoors in St Ives when I suddenly saw the massive bill of a gull a couple of inches away from my face. Thought it was going to attack me but within a couple of seconds it had made off with half of my sandwich. They are ruthless c*nts.
