I get a bit depressed watching those old episodes of Taggart because it reminds me how old I am .. I was at primary school when the original episodes were aired I think !

Bibliogryphon 9,653 Posted December 14, 2020 14 hours ago, Lard Bazaar said: Harry Styles. I am going to have to admit that I have been surprised by Harry Styles. He seems to be genuinely interested in growing as a performer and I have heard some of his stuff on the radio not knowing what it is and liking and then being told it is Harry Styles. If he grows with his audience I see him achieving some kind of longevity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,226 Posted December 20, 2020 BBC Sports personality of the year is utter shite. It is something that would have been ok in the 50s but, decades later, it is fucking embarrassing to watch a cringe fest. It needs to be shot, burnt and then buried somewhere. Just sayin, like. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me think, what would a well intentioned and accurate but somewhat curmudgeonly master of brevity say here. The sort that inhabits say, Norfolk... Ah yes. Then don't watch it. I didn't ;), the idea that some already richer than some third world country individual needs another award for doing not very much more than they already do is indeed cringeworthy.
