This is like when I realised A hole was short for asshole. I had never occurred to me that anyone would shorten that. I thought it was short for anus hole until I was about 35

Ha ha! Honestly I'm so vain that if I wasn't currently a bit worse for the wear, there's a chance I'd be offering to dispense with zoom and come to the studio

Hello! That's so kind. I'm afraid I'm not feeling camera ready for a couple of weeks, as I've managed to injure myself falling over. HOWEVER I've no objections to you using my post on the show, if that's any help.

Tbf I also blame him for everything Don Draper did, due to the characters merging in my head

Ha ha! I'll look forward to that

Oh absolutely - I didn't turn over and watched the whole thing, impressed by them (notably Les D and Barry C) managing to keep some energy up regardless, and there was the odd genuine laugh in there. It was fab seeing familiar faces so young and ambitious too

Really good read, thank you! In the ep I saw he seemed to be bullying more than being bullied (but definitely both), and his references to his homosexually, though at the time probably daring, now just sounded homophobic. A real shame - the whole show seemed sour

Just watched an ep now, thought exactly the same thing and searched bsky for his name to see if anyone agreed with me. Thank you for the validation!

Ha ha! Minder meets Marlowe, amazing - I swear if someone had told me that, I'd have watched it years ago

You never know, that could be it - no-one has any fights now as they've all been sorted out by wise words from the Guardian panel

Agh I'm sorry to hear that. Keep on with those comfort shows! Sounds like a good idea to me

❤️ hope you're taking care and doing something more enjoyable now you've got through reading that

Oh hell the two sisters who got slaps for being unwashed and uncombed, when that's 100% a problems at home issue

Absolutely - and they'd all refer to her as though she's the strange relative
November 21, 2025 at 11:20 AM
Well that doesn't sound 'nice'!
