Oh brilliant ! This is really funny and clever.
Have you ever seen an old 1972 Woody Allen film called 'Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)' ? There's a scene in there which is along the same sort of...

Posted on Fri, 10 Apr 2026
Well if we're all being honest, can I say I am seventy one years old and I wasn't shocked or offended at all.
I really don't think we can say 'great humour has never offended'. What about the music halls ? Think Marie Lloyd singing "She...

I've read quite a few of the Rougon-Macquart series, although not all 20 ! My favourites are Germinal and Au Bonheur des Dames (which the BBC tv series The Paradise was based on).
