Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
Wrote to Clive James a couple of weeks ago. Got a response from his PA today saying that he appreciated my letter but due to his ill-health is no longer well enough to respond personally. Doesn't sound good :( :( What did you write about? I have similar concerns that I'm never going to get the Bria...

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Very disappointed by the Turner film. I know we like to congratulate ourselves when we make something that isn't a predictable Hollywood effort, but this one wasn't for me. I found it boring but perhaps it was more subtle than I was in the mood for...

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Finally watched 12 Years a Slave tonight. Wow. The moral ugliness all the more hard-hitting in the context of the visual beauty of the film. Powerful without being mawkish. What an extraordinary achievement. Have seen a couple of dreadful films at the cinema recently... paper thin Gone Girl and Effi...

Re: Mavies
Pratley played as well as Mavies on Saturday. Wht is everyone so besotted with Mavies anyway?? The difference when he came on against Fulham was enormous. He looks like the only one we have who wants to be on the ball and whose first instinct is to be positive. Whether you've historically rated him...

They weren't for him... I'm just saying that the slow-speaking, pseudo-profound Scouse poet seems to be a distinct genre whether it's voiceovers for football montages, panel discussions, or whatever.

I don't have much to add. It was unbelievable how little protection having BOTH Ream and Spearing lying deep and centrally offered the back four. I don't see the point of Spearing at all.

Re: The Ryder Cup
I find it very hard to get excited about the Ryder Cup. I don't find that my partisan juices flow along continental lines and I'm afraid I would sooner go for beers with Patrick Reed than Martin Kaymer.
