Tbh I’ve heard the recent BBC Dickens adaptations, Sick Expectations, Whack Times, and Our Mutual Bruh, are propah skibidi rizz. |

Inzhagi is entertaining. All suit and fury. A bit like Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It. |

Saw a scrap on the Horra Road across from the Co-Op only the other day. Some geezer is whacking another with a strip of what looked like wooden flooring in the late afternoon sunshine until they were eventually separated by others. This was taking place in front of what seemed to be a shop front renovation. The whacker was a young fit bloke. The whacked had a few years on him with a pot belly and a bag of shopping in one hand. The older bloke was very vocal - shouting at the young bloke in Hindi or Urdu - people were managing to separate them but the young bloke broke through and gave the mouthy older bloke a few clouts. He held on to his shopping but it shut him up. What gave it a sense of peril was it was all taking place near an impromptu trestle-table with a circular saw clamped to it. In the Tarantino version someone woukd have lost a few fingers or a perhaps an ear. I was nearby queueing at a cash point. When the fella at the ATM had finished I asked the old lady in front of me if she was in the queue.“ No darling” she replied, “I’m just watching the entertainment”. |

Was just planning to nip down to the club shop to spend my £30 + loyalty cash before the end of May deadline then read this …
That’s one less thing to worry about I suppose. |

I keep reading that legally we can’t employ a coach while Marti is still at the club (albeit on gardening leave). Can’t the club get round that semantically by employing someone and just giving them a new title, ‘chief assistant of turf operations’ or some such. |

I’m pretty sure the first screening was delayed for weeks if not months by a technicians’s strike. I remember seeing big posters promoting it on the Euston Road (presumably outside the Euston Films studios) and thinking that looks interesting, waiting ages for it to be shown and not being disappointed. A fantastic show; brilliant writing, brilliant characters, and the icing on the cake was the many QPR references. For me one of the great trinity of early eighties British TV with Boys From The Blackstuff and Au Wiedersehen Pet.
It’s interesting that Leon Griffith the writer was a Northener and though most definitely West London-centric it was largely inspired by the characters he met drinking around the pubs and private clubs of North London.
My favourite Minder trivia is Waterman, a Ch*ls** fan, lobbying and lobbying in pre-production for Terry’s character to be a Ch*ls** fan too. Eventually he was told definitively, possibly by Griffith, that Terry McCann would not be a Ch*ls** fan as this would severely impact on any sympathy the audience would have for him. |

On this day in 1830 Franz Liszt was released from ten days in prison for stealing a bag of marzipan from a Vienesse Marzipan warehouse. On his release he composed his first symphony Eine Kleine Light-Fingered |

My Mum’s from Dungarvan. I’d spend every summer holiday there - the whole 6 weeks - I got well into hurling and loved playing the game. Every now and then a cousin would introduce me to or point out an older lad in the town saying this is so and so he plays for the county. They generally never had any front teeth. I’m still over once or twice a year. My (other) hometown as the song nearly goes. |
