Fottball has been banned as has cycling but for some reason cricket is permitted

Yesterday they cancelled my posh alumnus dinner this evening that I was looking forward to, and that hadn't been held since 2019 because of reasons, so I am very grumpy today

Just think, I could have been listening to southend lose on the radio right now

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 10, 2022 2:39 pm

So it's not all bad that they've cancelled everything

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 10, 2022 2:40 pm

Jean-Luc Godard, dead

seemed like a bit of a dick tbh but I do love Alphaville

Post by **dng** » Tue Sep 13, 2022 11:31 am

Yes, I like a lot of his films, especially Alphaville. But I'll never forgive him for being horrible to Agnes Varda that time though

Is it all over yet?

Also - did anyone watch the thing?

I didn't - I'm looking to replace my nearly borken Chromebit with a laptop, so that's what I was up to!

I saw nothing of any of it and never will obviously. I have no concept of any possible meaning it could hold

My family suggested meeting up so we did and then it was on and nobody seemed to mind too much when I made terrible jokes throughout

She scared me in The Manchurian Candidate.

And that's why I never fully trusted her in Murder She Wrote.

And nobody’s mentioned his appearance in Krull. Weep.

I was shocked he was 72 - I thought he was 10 years younger than that.

RIP Samuel Johnson.
