    I’d never read James or had any real interest in ghost stories but I’d heard his collection praised as possibly the finest ever numerous times on the net and elsewhere so 3 or 4 months ago I bought the collection and I have to say that they’re brilliant stories. There’s a documentary (or 2?) on Amazon Prime about James that I keep meaning to watch but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

      This is unbelievable.

      London's Globe Theatre - which is on the site of the Bard's original playhouse - alerts the audience before performances that suicide, drug use and fake blood feature in a production of Romeo and Juliet.

        I assume they're not really giving the Samaritans number out because they're admitting the production is so bad...

          I was just thinking about Sir Laurence Olivier playing the part of Othello.
          Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

            I wonder what the Samaritans themselves think of this?

                    Dr Diddles prescribes six months abstinence from the Daily Mail.

                    It only winds you up and makes you blow a gasket .

                    It's not good for your blood pressure.

                    Leave it alone!!!

                    No good will come of it!!!

                      Its everywhere Ms D. You get some kind of warning about so many tv shows these days. What’s next? “This episode of Songs Of Praise contains scenes that some might find upsetting.”

                            To be honest, I find Aled Jones pretty traumatising at the best of times, so SoP may carry a risk of triggering me!!

                            Sure, that stuff is ubiquitous but honestly Herlock, stepping away from the Daily Mail will greatly reduce your exposure to it!

                            Give it a shot.

                            I'm confident you'll feel much better for it....
