Fortunately, if you know the sequence you can skip across after one of those changes. It's the same for 3 out of 4 roads at the junction.

Who also don’t give a fuck about cars parked all over our footpaths despite the clear risk to pedestrians and the damage to footpaths that we then have to pay for out of council tax.

Does he know liking movies is a matter of subjective, and very varied opinion not a statement of undisputable fact from him.

He seems to me to review things according to their own merits - he's not sniffy about kids' movies for example unlike some critics. I go see him at his monthly live shows at the BFI and he seems very willing to accept there are other opinions than his own.

On the subject of the DJ Mayo, why is he always talking semi-off mike, We know you are in a studio, we know there are others there, it is an affectation, it says to me his show, or so called show, is just a habit. No thought. Like er, um BBC Breakfast.
McGoohan Dec 2017 4:08pm, 12 Dec 2017 32,275 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan Are other cut out shapes more acceptable? Perhaps more importantly is there a threshold of size of cut-out that invalidates the mince-pieyness?
