There’s a 79% Chance That You Need Therapy

You almost certainly need therapy. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Lately life has not been easy for you. Why not let a therapist help you sort things out?

I think I need a career change. . . . . perhaps politics !

Just polished off the last dregs of a nice Rioja. I’ll pay for it in the morning but I can resist the grape!

In that case;

Lilith: Frasier, I like what you’ve done with your apartment. You have some beautiful things.
Frasier: The settlement is final, Lilith.

Lilith: I’m nearly done defrosting.
Niles, as if he knows he’s going to regret saying this: … And the turkey?
Lilith: Might I suggest you stuff it?

:D

Roz: I am ecumenical! I embrace men of all faiths!
Frasier: If only it stopped there.

Daphne: I suppose I like my gents more on the manly side. (Watching Niles fold a napkin) Was that a little swan you made?
Niles, crushing the napkin: No, it was a B-52.

class!

So Sharon, are you more “a bit physic!” Daphne, or “twice around the block” Roz? :shock: :D

I’m good thanks Pebbles, you? I note whilst I was typing I just diss’d Friends LoL

I’m sure you’re not a bad person for liking it! :D

I agree when they get right they get it right! But for every Terry & June we produce you can point at a Cosby Show or Friends. All style and little substance.

Brit Comedy traditionally is more cutting edge and is sharper. Even something as fluffy as Dinnerladies is beautifully observed and crafted, compare that with Rosanne. Rosanne was edgy in…[Read more]

Great when you get an actors voice in your head as a character, they really come alive. I love the Sharpe series and even the author says he hears Sean Bean’s voice when he writes the dialogue!

Hi AbitofMary what did you think of the film where Denzel Washington played Rhymes? I read one of the Rhymes books long ago but I thought the film was a bit weak.

thanks toybulldog, love the intensity of Moby Di/ck

Was that Cassie Black? Harry’s ex?

I would have said Blood Work, great book, lousy film ( even with the benefit of Clint Eastwood) but the Lincoln Lawyer saw a great return to form after the lows of The Narrows when he went a bit of track.

Have you every tried any of Janet Evanovich? Stephanie Plum novels are a joy on the beach, with plenty of…[Read more]

Hi Sir Actor, Man Utd 2 Gooners 1

and Arsenal drop out of the title race. . . . well almost.

I tried to read the collection of shorts based on his notebooks from when he was a crime reporter in L.A. I couldn’t get into them, but then I was coming from the Bosch novels so maybe my expectation wasn’t quite right.

I’ll gloss over today’s result **cough, cough**
:D :D

Harry is a true genius. I can’t wait for the new book in the Autumn when Micky Haller (Harry’s brother from the Lincoln Lawyer) and Harry team up.

Home-Thoughts, from Abroad

Oh, to be in England
Now that April’s there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England – now!

And after April, when May follows,
And the whitethroat…[Read more]

“and He piled upon the whales white hump, the sum of the rage of his ancestors from Adam down; and if his chest had been a mortar he would have burst his hot hearts shell upon it”

to paraphrase Herman Melville!

Another great book is The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini. An extraordinary tale of friendship and betrayal “for you a thousand times over”
