Monday morning in the Gazebo - no tea, mouldy bit of lardy cake ion the fridge and dust everywhere, what's the world coming to? 
Enjoyed "Rock and Chips" last night, some good rock'n'roll songs, some funny moments and good casting generally, good performance by Nick Lyndhust of a very amiable Freddie the frog, good characterization of Trigger, Denzil, Boycey and the gang, but Del boy was not very convincing for me.

Specifically avoided that one - I fully expected poor imitations of known characters & the distinct whiff of a dead horse being mercilessly whipped.

Hmph!
Blame Alan - he reminded me about the new Pallas album.
And my dentist appointment is looming this Friday...

To an extent I'm looking forward to seeing how they've decided the Atlantis legend can be expanded upon... I wonder if they'll get Eddie Offord to do a dogs' breakfast of the production again

'The Blinding Darkness' live album is actually very good... until they say... "Are you ready for the 'Atlantis Suite'"... and then bring on Euan Lowson for the encore

One day I must get round to listening to some Pallas. Just for the experience, you know.

Me too, although apparently it was pretty good - I'll watch the repeat sometime soon. I did enjoy watching Quadrophenia on one of the ITV spin offs though.

Have to say I didn't see any poor reviews of it either - may have to give it a go on iPlayer.
Wow - such a choice!
Either a spin off from Only Fools & Horses or 'The Sentinel' part 2.
How rich my life could be

No - sorry Dean, I'm being very dim here, but I think that one went right over my head.
Damn you and your intellect to Hell

When all else fails, you can usually find an old episode of The Sweeney or Minder on ITV 4. Dave is usually a good bet for old episodes of QI and Have I Got News... - repeats are often the best thing on the box, or maybe I'm just showing my age,

Not exactly highbrow I know, but I do enjoy the frequent re-runs of 'Mock The Week', especially the ones from the last series where Frankie Boyle seemed to test bounds of acceptability on each show.
