We don't have a neutral word for it. We've decided that the actual word ('shit') is profane, that 'faeces' is uptight, and that 'pooh' is childish. It's a no-win. But there's still fuck-all excuse for 'poop', or for dropping the H from 'pooh'.

Yep. This, and "Allo Allo", and "Open All Hours"... so mind-numbingly tedious for so long, it's forgotten just how funny and CLEVER they were when they started.

You see, "whore" is pronounced "haw"... Though I can see how a West Country accent might make it more like an American saying "horror". So I guess it all depends on whether you pronounce the C in "tractor"...

I do struggle a little with rhotacism, as it happens. But I don't see the relevance here? Do you pronounce it "Horrorton"? :-)

Okay, I'll bite. HTF else is it possible to pronounce it? It's possibly the most accent-proof proper noun ever... um... nouned!

Because it was the first time I'd noticed, I'm not sure if this simply honoured, or actually inaugurated the tradition that no WW2 drama may - under any circumstances - use the correct Spitfires.

This is how I feel about G.K. Chesterton. A man so dedicated to being wrong about absolutely everything, that he actually converted TO catholicism. But he wrote lullabies in prose form.

That first album is magnificent. Sadly it suffered the common 80s fate of having a massive hit with pretty much its weakest and/or least representative track.

Called "Typhoon" but depicting an Eagle, and a carrier on which an Eagle couldn't land... So C64 it hurts! Is the sea brown? 😉 (I think I know what the artist has watched on telly the night before...)

With Schiff's character getting eaten after saving the day; and Postlethwaite realizing he gets eaten in act 3, so giving up and walking away first; this movie is a masterclass in we-know-what-you-want-and-fuck-you plotting.

I was going to dispute this. But it turns out that Maximiliano Bump was an unused substitute for Chile in 1962.

Tragic, desperate, pathetic, humourless, it is all of these things. But you can't really call any of that a "smear". Hold fire though, they'll doubtless be calling him an anti-Semitic Trotskyist paedophile by the weekend...

I've said before that it's possibly the only games console which you can date with absolute precision based on looks alone. It's the most 1987 thing you could ever see. :-)
