Just been to see “The Favourite” at the flicks. Note to the ladies of this parish and those of a sensitive disposition: I have never heard the naughty c word (that we aren’t allowed to say on here) used quite so liberally in any film, let alone a historical one.
Other than that it is a great film in the way that only the Brits can do. Puts Hollywood crap to shame. Olivia Coleman is really good.

That will save me from being offended by such language. Glad you enjoyed. |

well I think if there are lots of c words I'll avoid because I find offensive language detracts from enjoying any programme/film.

Here's a C word: Counting.
I thought to count how long our next big trip will be this Summer and it comes out as 292 miles (467km) and will indeed be our longest trip so far. From the Staffs & Worcs to Leicester, Oxford, Reading and Devizes.
Last Summer we did 236 miles (378km) from Sowerby Bridge to Leeds, Skipton, Burnley, Preston Brook and Penkridge (plus a bit more as we went to Skipton & back from Gargrave).
Summer 2017 we did 270 miles (432km) from Swanley Bridge Marina (Nantwich) to Preston Brook, Burnley, Skipton, Leeds, Goole, back to Knottingley and onto Selby, and from Selby to Sowerby Bridge.
Next Summer's journey will take 22 - 24 driving days (at 7 hours/day) which will leave us with 36 spare days. A week of this for blacking the boat, and a week for walking the Pennine Way, and 4 days for cycling from Market Harborough to Grantham.

I do like Coleman as an actor/actress.NOT a dig at you but it really does irk me that these days Actresses get referred to as Actors - in the name of gender equality or whatever... the world - and by that I mean the media , has just gone a bit bonkers really...I mean why does referring to anything in the feminine sense, insinuate it's subordinate in nature? - it doesn't... There are words such as matriarch or mater familias which are strong words - specifically to identify female of strength/power/control etc ... as you were.... |

You'll have to let us know about 'Stan and Ollie'.
I fancy seeing that, as I hold them in great affection since a lad.
My slight concern is that the film makers may do a 'hatchet job' on them, which I wouldn't wish to see.

I chose the term as I wasn’t sure which people here preferred. Actresses it is then. |
