In fact I tried watching this once before, about five or six years ago, and there was far too much f...

Having just read Antony Beevors D-Day, which I found enthralling but slightly stuffy and more than a little controversial for the sake of it, I moved straight on to Andrew Roberts 'The Storm of War'. This is a full account of the second war from start to finish. This book is packed with little nugge...

Wasn’t sure whether to post this is the ‘What are you watching tonight?’ thread or the ‘What is your guilty secret?’ thread! I’ve just been watching ‘Looking for Eric’ and I thought it was fantastic. I saw a brief documentary on the making of the film a couple of days ago and C*ntona said the direct...

It was finally finished oh, about 1995, and from time to time I go back and give it a bit of a...

Gerald Thislethwaite has a lot to answer for! Thanks to him I had my first glimpse of female 'bits' and to this day the bits that I saw that day are still by far the most hirsute that I have ever clapped eyes on!
