I felt Adolescence was one episode too long. I'd have cut 40 minutes from the boy/psychologist episode which was poorly directed. And there wasn't enough Stephen Graham, who lit up the screen in every scene he featured in. From dark British drama to annoying but compelling American reality...

Actually this was one of the things that I thought was weird about my Nan calling her kitchen the scullery. In her teens and twenties she'd been a scullery maid. She ought to have known the difference.

L You are Geoffrey Chaucer and I claim my five pounds 😀 (You're right 'n 'all. It's an excellent word).

My Nan used to call the kitchen of her two bed Victorian terrace "the scullery" which I always thought was weird.

Two from my childhood. "It's by there" "Putsy" meaning easy as in "jumping across the reen is putsy" Actually I don't think I've heard "reen" since the 1970s.

"Big Boys" on CH4. Beautiful, funny, dark, relatable. The writer is gay, and this is broadly biographical, so it's the sort of thing Russel T Davies might've done, if that helps your decision-making either way.

Our bedtime excitement these days extends only as far as attempting Saturday's Daily Mail crossword. £1.60 a week. I don't even read the bleedin' thing.

Lots of suggestions already that I bloody adore. So I'm flailing around for those not mentioned. "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen. "Book of Brilliant Things" by Simple Minds. (And, because it's the best song I ever heard on the back seat of a Morris Marina...) "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led...

It sounds like he snapped, yes. A bad day at the office, for sure. Mortifying. Edit: as there are a number of parties involved. Perhaps he's considered a danger to them as well as to himself.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w14w8xz2jo.amp Presumably we can't discuss matters still being investigated by the police? Pity. It sounds like a cracker that would've had Grange Hill's censors foaming at the mouth.

Stereophonics, like Yes, and early Johnny Rotten for me are filed under - great music, crap vocals. Frustrating but I just can't abide them. I don't mind Geddy Lee, like. Or latter day Rotten. Odd, I know 😀

Jesus.

To be honest they don't sound very gay. My queer friends are always bloody singing and dancing.

I'm going to watch an episode of Traitors and then I'm going to eat pizza. Mrs Bear will be right by my side. But no hanky panky cos her hip has given up the ghost. Sad face.

My first wife's family were from Gorton. Scary place. If he's speaking to constituents like that then he needs his bumps feeling.

Wasn't it called "Daisy Jones & The Six"? Netflix, I think. Edit: the Fleetwood Mac one, I meant.

The Senior Bowl?

On a similar slant. I was at a football match yesterday and there was a lady advertising a new drink. Forgot the name. It was basically whisky with cinnamon. "That sounds awful" I said. "It is", she said. I reckon the public's appetite for shyte drinks is at an all-time peak.

Someone said that it's the Super Bowl tonight. I'd have known this once, but old age has kicked in. Because I'll be in bed by the time the game starts I'm watching a replay of a 2022 wild card match between Cincinnati and the Raiders. The Raiders were in the playoffs in 2022? Sheesh, I have...

I used to frequent a Waitrose in Worcester. It had a wine bar and a cocktail bar. Never saw any bother. 🤣
