I have a problem ladies. When I'm out and about in the sunshine how do you walk past a woman from behind? I've noticed that guys in their 40s & 50s are treated as a threat and women constantly looking over their shoulder or...

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 30 Jul

Firestorms! That's the headline in Europe, tinder dry and forest and scrub fires raging in France and Spain, major cities under threat. But the fire storms are a new phenomenon in Europe. The fires are so big the smoke is...

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 27 Jul

So a bit of controversy here. The BBC had covered this multisport event since 1956 on terrestrial TV ( not streaming or satellite) but this year their bid for the contract fell short and it slipped behind a paywall. I love...

Bloated World Cup is fun all the same.

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 28 Jun

Still 32 teams left in the 2026 World Cup after two full weeks of group matches, the same amount that started it in the 1998 World Cup. FIFA have been greedy of late as the more teams in the main event the more TV and gate money...

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 13 May

Anarchy in the United Kingdom parliament once again as the Labour party try to take out their leader. Keir Starmer is pretty dull, as are his policies, and the country hasn't been inspired by him, resulting in a shellacking in the...

My top ten comedies #5 -Only Fools and Horses

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 10 May

This one is absolutely loved in England and many peoples favourites here. It was lucky to achieve that as the first season didn't really get much traction with viewers and nearly never continued. In the 1980s times were tough and...

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 6 May

Britain's best sitcoms were in the 1970s because they could be quite risky and a little bit offensive. Some took their views on things like sexuality, race and women a bit too dark but others got it bang on, Rising Damp one of...

Top 10 comedy shows #8 DADS ARMY

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5371) • Northampton, England 23 Apr

Dads Army is a very British situation comedy and may not transfer well to foreign audiences , especially with subtitles but to us it's the perfect 1970s sitcom. It's a little bit offensive in places as everything was in the 1970s...
