Except the Yanks presumably can’t tell Peter Kay from King Ralph

The prospect of no further Max and Paddy episodes is a definite positive

Well I guess he’ll have been pretty thoroughly “wormed” by now

Gazza’s sperm probably couldn’t find its way to the egg, too busy throwing up in the lungs

Or it could be due to the fact that the barely mobile, fifty something Big Daddy was still being billed as the star attraction, and by that point was reduced to tag matches where his partner had to do all the work. British wrestling was a joke when it was axed off ITV in 1988, had become a piss-poor no-budget WWF knock off with lame angles like Kendo Nagasaki ‘hypnotising’ his opponents

Well I think it’s totally irresponsible for blind people to drive

Honestly, the things some kids do for attention

De Haviland

Has anyone checked for like a giant hole opening up in the space time continuum??

Tatty bye

In a priory/hospice kinda way perhaps

Sounds like advanced role play

Oh yeah didn’t think of the great PT Anderson. I was thinking more of the auteurs of the early 90s like Hal Hartley, Alison Anders, Rodriguez etc who have mainly disappeared or faded into irrelevance. At least with Dogma Smith was still attempting something bold, but with every movie thereafter he just descended further into self-indulgence, like he wanted to dodge anything daring or contentious

That’s just an excuse. Peckinpah, among many others, churned out many great efforts when he was fucked off his face

I remember when Clerks came out, it was an exciting period for US indie cinema. From that era, can only think of Tarantino and Linklater who still make relevant movies, Smith burned out relatively quickly

In fairness, he is said to be the basis of Uncle Monty’s charcter in Withnail & I, due to Bruce Robinson’s experiences of him...

Plumped for Oor Stanley

Yawn...

Went for Greavsie. It’s a funny old game...

His hospitalisation was the main story on the BBC north west news, wondered whether that means they think he may shortly croak, said he’s been in since last Friday...

He has his own unique way of alerting the staff - “ding dong”

After last year they’ve got a lot to live up to, if that’s the right turn of phrase

Like the old joke goes, “where was the first place John Lennon went when he had a bit of cash? The airport”

Discussing funeral arrangements perhaps?

Saw Rocket From The Crypt, Bananarama and the Prodigy all within the space of a fortnight. All very enjoyable, except made the mistake of going in the front section at Prodigy gig, after getting tossed around like a black teenage girl with learning difficulties who’d wandered into a Donald Trump rally I safely retreated further back
