Eyes like piss-holes in the snow

With time out for Ab-Fab and Have I Got News For You, both of which were exceptionally disappointing, I have just written up a chunk of plot for NWO: Rome ahead of tomorrow's meeting of the plot team.

As of now, I am officially drained.

I have to drag myself out of my pit early and make my way up to Euston and then entrain for Brummagem which likely means two-and-a-half fekkin hours again instead of 90 minutes. I might try the Chilterns line out of Marylebone up to Birmingham Snow Hill instead. At least that is a pretty route and even if theoretically slower than Virgin West Coast, it may well get there sooner, what with all the engineering works on the West Coast route...

We'll see.

I do hope that pax_draconis has plenty of coffee available...

Is that yet more new Ab-Fab, or just the old new Ab-Fab from maybe a couple of years ago? (Which I agree was disappointing; I'm not sure I bothered to see all of the second batch, even).

No, this is a new series.

Jennifer Saunders was persuaded (or decided?) to write some new episodes and the entire cast signed up for it. Unfortunately somewhere down the line Eddi and Patsy seemed to have turned nasty rather than funny, and the attempts at humour seem to be based largely on people laughing at the pair of them being quite evil toward (mainly) Saffy.

It's a shame, because it used to be a genuinely funny show.

Yeah, I watched it and it was a bit cruel and not particularly funny.

A sad decline of a show...

Ho hum..

Chiltern line! Very good. We did it both ways today - and is very cheap...
