I recorded this series of three and have just finished watching the last. Excellent!! All I can say is better late than never! Does anyone know if there are going to be any more?
I know some here don't support it - and this thread is not intended to create the annual discussion on that - but those that do might like to check out the Poppy Shop and perhaps give the appeal a...
Something a bit different to talk about. Last night's offering from 4thought TV. The presenter mentions controlled experiments that suggest it is a reality – personally I don’t know of any...
At the end of each section of Homeland, before the adverts come on, and at the beginning of the next section, a picture of a sleeping girl is shown. It doesn't look like Carrie, or Brodie's wife or...
We rang the appropriate government offices to tell them a family member had recently died, and the first question they asked was ‘Is she there with you now?’ ‘No, she’s dead...
