One for the teenagers

If you're drilling into plasterboard the best thing you can buy is a stud finder (which should keep the punmeisters amused for at least two pages). If you don't you're at risk of the whole thing ending up on the floor. If you're drilling into Victorian brick you need about three hours, five drills and about six cans of Lucozade to keep you going.

The second time was with wacky baccy so maybe that helped!

You did Dune 2 twice? Tell me you had a season ticket for the 2007/8 season without telling me you had a season ticket for the 2007/8 season.

It's interesting to see someone else mention this. I've seen Lee many times through the years, but his last show was the weakest material I've seen him perform since his very early days. Truculent is an excellent descriptor and I was left with a similar impression, but you can never be certain whether it's intentional since the character "Stewart Lee" is truculent by design. Is he still using the "this side of the room doesn't get it" schtick to increase audience engagement? I have to admit I'm getting pretty tired of that now. He's worked it into every show for nearly 2 decades and that seems an odd crutch for someone I always admired for his innovation. Maybe I should take a brake from his stuff for a few years, or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy (like Stew).

Frankie Boyle: it was good, strangely I liked it less the more time has passed and I've had a bit of time to mull it over. Lot of his content I had seen before on other shows, he was full of cold apparently but it felt a little dialled in.
Stewart Lee: usually love him but he was in a particulalry truculent mood and lost the room a bit (his whole thing was that it was a spillover gig, sold out the first night so put a second one on, and all the people in the audience were people who weren't really that bothered to make sure they got a ticket). Still a cracking night out but maybe not the best night I've seen him deliver
Jonathan Pie: There's a lot of energy in it, I wasn't really looking forward to being ranted at for one hour about much I kind of know to be true. There was a bit of that, preaching to a choir given the audience. But he had some great content, even if the last twenty felt like he was just stretching it out a bit.

Oh my God. There is no way you could have Vargas winning that fight comfortably as one judge did. 
Let's be generous and give him the first 6 rounds. Find him a couple more. 
He lost 6 in a row and two knock-downs. But a judge had him winning. 
This sport really f**** me off. 

This is it, dial back a few years and Wilder had just blasted Brezeale out in the first round, while AJ had taken seven. Having taken place in the Garden all the talk was symetriccal for AJs fight a few weeks later when he took on Andy Ruiz. I'm still convinced that Ruiz didn't beat Joshua, Wilder did by getting in his head. I am sure Joey Dawejcko (the sparring partner who apparently flattened AJ in the camp) might have something to say about that but either way AJ is prone to chasing a fight.
Big risk this one, you are absolutely right to point out that Ngannou is a beast and there is nothing but money to be gained from this match up for Joshua. I do still think he will win it, but there will be a few scary moments along the way.

Asteroid City: I love the quirkiness of Wes Anderson films and find the first fifteen minutes utterly uplifting. But then it just seems to be more of the same and I just find myself losing concentration and just wanting them to get on will telling the story. Abdul Camara / 10
Fremont: Film about an Afghan translator now living in California. Filmed in black and white and billed as a comedy. I watched it on a plane and was still tempted to walk out. OK, it wasn't quite that bad, it's just bang average. Paul Trolloppe / 10
Dream Scenario: My absolute pet hate of a film concept, a good idea that they just don't know how to close out. Nicolas Cage is a non-descript lecturer who everybody starts having dreams about. He's actually not that bad, the whole thing is supposed to be an allegory for cancel culture but it just ends up being a story they just don't know how to end so it just fades away, leaving you realise you've wasted two hours of your life.

Well done, I thought you were going to start talking about the bit with the werewolf ripping out both their throats - that would have spoiled it for everyone.

This is a good read, collection of short stories from new Irish authors. When I say 'new' it was released in 1996 but still a lovely read of small slices of Irish life.

I think you meant to say you know Tszyu? 🙂 He's his son but they now live in Australia apparently. Hatton beating his dad is one of the most underrated performances by a British boxer I can remember (up there with Khan vs Maidana). Immensely impressive victory but kind of left behind in the Las Vegas element of Hatton's story. Can't imagine their two kids fighting like Benn and Eubank - Campbell wouldn't last 30 seconds.

2028 for the concluding part of the trilogy, apparently! I watched the first one thinking it was a standalone film, not the first instalment of something that required a 7 year investment 😂
