Forgetting Sarah Marshall

So remember Russell Brand, a member of my grandfalloon and celebrity siting there of? Well, it turns out he's made a movie in the US, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He plays Sarah's recovery boy a British rocker and has a new fake video. I wonder if any one in the US will get the joke?

Its a funny think British humour - plus he's wearing normal clothes and the birdnest hair seems to be under control.

I wonder if he will remain in my grandfalloon and if I'll still keep siting him in the BA lounge and Hampstead. Funny the public people you recognise.

Smithy Beats out Nessa for a BAFTA

Oh - its BAFTA time (well it was when I started this post) and Gavin and Stacy, the show I wrote about a couple of weeks ago swept the awards. While Smithy got the award, Nessa is my favorite character. The actors who play Smithy and Nessa are the writers of the show - so I'm please to see they are getting some recognition.

I think its great that Nessa has that giant Welsh dragon tattoo she has on her arm. That and the fact that she's reading the Satanic Verses and couldn't talk about it because she couldn't afford "another fatwa." I love hearing those Welsh accents and who knew that Barry Island could be so funny?

Do you know about Gavin and Stacey?

Its a comedy on BBC3, second season started here five weeks ago. I believe you can watch them online at BBC's iPlayer here.

I've had a miserable cold for days only falling into staying home when the cough got so bad others begged me to stay home - lots of time on my hand and a friend suggested I watch it, because I'm bored, and I'm terrible and grouchy when I'm bored. Anyway my friend was right it did make me happy to watch it - now if this cough would just go away...

Way too much television in the last couple of days.

Mad Men Mad Men Mad Men

Oh I really love Sunday evenings because that is when BBC is showing Mad Men. Tonight's episode ended up with our hero in a village bar listening to a folk song about the River Zion, meanwhile Mr. Sterling head of the ad agency is having it off with the head secretary at the agency. They leave the hotel separately but end up standing on the street just near each other while they are both rying to get a cab while the folk song is still in the background.

omg the symbolism is like getting hit over the head with a beautifully crafted photograph.

All brings to mind MFNY who used to work at an ad agency and looks a bit like the wife in the story - right, Nancy?!
