Didn't you know that gods don't exist?

So it doesn't matter who plays it as they are playing something that is
non-existent anyway. No problem methinks.

Agreed about the Summer of 2008, what a load of pretence that was.

I'm of the same opinion, Nick, but the post was in the context of fictional
characters and who played them, was it not? Anyway, on that basis why make a
comment about Summer of 2008 which itself was practically fictituous in the
context of what we hope a summer will be!!! ;-)

(what a way to go off-topic!)

True. I was only trying to be tongue-in-cheek and all that malarkey but
electronic communication etc can be difficult to get the humour/irony etc
across without being misunderstood/misinterpreted. I suppose that's why they
invented emoticons, but I never got used to those.

Aye, off topic!!

The end.

11 dry consecutive days here. No grass or air frost as yet though last night
came close with a grass min of 2.2°C.

....all change weatherwise this coming Saturday night / Sunday! I have a
wedding to go to on Saturday and I reckon the couple are very lucky given
what's coming...

The first notable Autumn storm cometh...

I have no problem with Morgan Freeman playing God as he is a fine
actor and God althougfh a fictional character has no known race.
However 19th century London...........come on that's totally non
representitive of a period drama, I see that the black actress martha
jones has been cast in the new BBC production of Little Dorrit. Now as
historical context and accuracy now not being importatnt on certain
occassions, maybe the BBC will take this opporunity to introduce a
homosexual moblie phone saleman into this wonderful Dickens period
peice.

Do you mean David Williams? Little Britain is crap and only exists
because of BBC ****s wanting the world to be thus-but it ain't .
Little Britain will be forgotten totally as time goes by. Why did that
****** change his name fro Williams to Walliams -what an arsehole.

Oh Mien Gott how the sheep- are lead to the slaughter

I happen to agree with you about Little Britain. It's a pity because
Walliams is actually rather a good straight actor. He was required to
change his name because the actors' union Equity demands you have an
unique stage name, and there was already a David Williams.

Oh Mien Gott how the sheep- are lead to the slaughter


You'd be more effective, Lawrence, with a polyglot spillangranmachucker.
