five favourite books - an impossible task
Having read applebeing's and amandajane's choices, I thought I'd have a go at setting down my five favs. Then I realised it was a lot harder than would at first appear - so here is my first go. I expect that, if I were to do this tomorrow, I'd probably choose five different works! But then, isn't that the beauty of books? Whatever your mood, there ( Read more... ) -
the perils of modern living...what would you choose?
I saw an interview with RA way back, I think before series 1 aired, where he said that he could only have survived in the Middle Ages as a Lord. This week, some enterprising vandals started a fire at the substation that supplies electricity to our area, plunging us into our very own middle ages. Forced to amuse ourselves, we started thinking about ( Read more... ) -
Why is Guy so Sharpe?
A really trivial question. I've been thinking about this, because I've been taking Bobbin Hood as a show far too seriously of late. So, answers on a postcard, please! References particularly to Episode 3-10

The Villain and the Ugly Stick - some small spoilers for season 3
I am an unashamed Guy apologist - there, I've said it and I DON'T CARE!!! However, having nothing more pressing to do and needing to indulge my obsession, I started to wonder why...? That kind of led to the question - would I still love Guy if he were a troll?

RIP RH - or what went wrong with series 3. Some spoilers
Just a few words about series 3. It contains spoilers - not many, but enough, so be warned! I was wondering what went wrong and it was either writing this, or doing the clearing up after a party we had yesterday... no contest.
( so, when did the rot set in? ) -
DON’T SHOOT ME! I HAD TO DO IT! AND IT’S LONG!! SPOILERS FOR SERIES 3!
I originally posted this on 1st July, but then messed up the cut and did all manner of thick things, so I pulled it, sorted it out and - here it is again! It's very long - sorry - but I'm too dumb to be able to split it into sections. It's mainly a character study of Guy, but with a bit of Izzy chucked in for good measure.
( what I think makes Guy tick - sort of... ) -
RIP Guy - I'll miss you.
So, it's RIP, Sir Guy. No more screencaps of stunning gorgeousness for us to appreciate, no more complex, tortured man for us to ache for. The end of a character who Richard Armitage managed to create despite the best efforts of the dismal shower TPTB had the temerity to call writers.
Not that this episode was that bad - I only glanced at the final ( Read more... ) -
all is not as it seems - massive spoilers
OK, I succumbed and watched THAT scene on YT. I couldn't do it last night, 'cos I wanted to sleep, but viewed this morning with the sun shining and birds tweeting to take the edge off.
IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN WE HAD BEEN LED TO BELIEVE!!! I've only watched Guy's final moments, none of what went before and certainly not the Bobbin death, but I ( Read more... ) -
Regretting peeping at screencaps - BIG episode 13 spoiler
I'll be glad when tomorrow's over and the dirty has been done. I'll watch, but only for RA's final performance as Guy. I took a peek at the screencaps for episode 13 and they didn't make me feel better - just more sad at the way they've done away with Guy. His body just gets left in the tunnel prior to the Castle blowing up, while Bobbin goes off ( Read more... ) -
it might be next year, but laughs will come
Sod it, I thought - I could have been run over a bus by then but have booked up to see Jimmy Carr in February next year. I missed his last tour, so thought I'd be organised. In severe need of cheering up and though it's a long time to wait, it's lifted my spirits ( a bit).
Still hate the Beeb, though!
