Sat down to watch the Liverpool game earlier only for my colour blindness to make it seem as if all twenty outfield players were in the same strip and were taking part in some bizarre run towards and away from the ball dance ritual. Kind of spoils the enjoyment.

Inkman, I was shocked when i found out a few years ago that referee's don't get tested for colour blindness

that explains my losing football bets then.

Gritty thriller. Small town sherriff, Susan Sarandon, fights her way through an alcohol and Vicadin fuelled fog to unravel the mystery of a spate of gruesome killings.

Drab and dreary scenery and cinematography is rarely this engaging. Good to Very Good .. 7.5/10

[The Creeping Spleen]

Brit Cops: War On Crime, on Pick TV.

Steptoe & Son, Drama channel (the freeview Drama channel on Ch 20, not the satellite namessake). Tonight`s ep: My Dad Is A Tory. Father & Son, Labour and Tory voters, having a go at each other. 50 odd years old that ep. Nothing ever changes. And nothing ever will. We had that chance for a new beginning last week. And pissed it down a stank...

[The Creeping Spleen]

Watched the first two episodes of "Plebs" series 2 last night on ITV2.

[Dexter St. Clair]

Ripper Street which is be repeated on Drama. The episode where a bunch of whining members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood moan on about the latest betrayal, swear oaths and complain about the town cryer's bias.

[Doorstop]

Rather thinly veiled, but still cleverly done.

Definitely not a wasted hour and a half.

Ruchazie Rat,
You're dead right about the Referendum. We blew it. We still haven't woken up. ...A few weeks before the voting, I was interested to see that Billy Connolly when asked what he favoured, just said quietly: "The Scots will get what they deserve" and he didn't commit himself to saying which way he wanted it to go. At the time I had a feeling he might be dead against independence. But since the result, he been speaking up about us getting Tory governments when we don't vote for them.

Don`t be too fooled by The Big Man. A coupla autumns ago, he got interviewed with Saturday Herald`s magazine. He talked down Scottish independence, saying it was absurd for such a small wee nation. This is the guy who, in 1990, got stitched up by the Sunday Mail for routing his money through an offshore Isle Of man tax haven. He rubs noses with London luvvies, politicos, slags off the SNP, does big leggie on UK/London comedy tours, as opposed to smaller shorter tours like he used to back up in "wee small nation" Scotland back in his 70`s heyday. He flies in Hollywood hasbeens like Steve Martin and Robin Williams, etc for the Highland Games on HIS OWN Scottish country estate.

He`s happy to play up The Big Scot abroad to fill his coffers. He just doesn`t fancy living here. That`s all. At least Rod Stewart`s honest!

[The Creeping Spleen]

New Tricks, series 11, ep. 7, "In Vino Veritas" on BBC1 last night.

Plebs, series 2, ep. 3, "The Baby" on ITV 2 ditto.

And an episode of The Real NCIS on Pick this afternoon.
