I binged Ripley over the weekend. I really enjoyed it, but you’re right! The dialogue between the main characters was expressionless & totally void of emotion! It could have been so much better. If Ripley rocked up to me on Marj on that Italian beech & my Norman Batesometer would have gone off straight away! I mean ffs, he had proper Ted Bundy vibes! I kept watching to see if Marjorie had figured it all out & was playing him. But No! The gormless cow bought everything he said! I loved the cinematography though & the Italian actors. It was so near a masterpiece. No need for Stings daughter to be playing the part of Freddie either. I guess BernaysFlix has a secret handshake deal with the DEI mafia. Gotta tick this equity & inclusivity box’s I guess. Something we’re going to have to get used to, I guess. Loved your They Live skit btw. All the best for the new show, Russ x😗
Freddie in Ripley is actually Sting’s daughter, who is non binary, quite bizarre that you’re just meant to accept it’s a ‘man’ playing the part of a man when it’s so clearly not, totally ruined the character🤷🏻♀️
I’m going to get the Patricia Highsmith books now! I’ve just watched The Talented Mr Ripley and Jude Laws portrayal of Dicky is so much better and charismatic. Same with Damon as Tom. He wasn’t half as creepy and “On Top” & could think on feet. I forgot what a great movie it was! x
1.(4.09). Needed to say more about this, your genius lies in your walks, observations as you mosey round town. We hate what London's become, we thank you for doing the leggings work for us .
2. (9.35). Never mix up a states governants with it's people. The REAL Chinese over there are repressed more than anybody here could imagine. Pray for them and their Christians, their Fulan Gong devotees. They may well be our future. So learn from them.
3.(12.43) Actually NO! Your trailer is brilliant ,but nowhere near as clear as I'd like. There's an obvious thread, but a decidedly clever one underneath. Do tell! My friends are divided.
4.(17.47). Yes, the class crap annoys. Murray is NOT Sam Harris. Harris rode the atheist bucking bronco with Archdunce Dawkins ,for this six pieces of silver way back. He has had his reward, especially when he said that he didn't care if Hunter Biden had baby body parts under his floor. As long as Trump had the election stolen from him,that was fine.
Murrays theology is of a different dimension of ethic than Harris and bloody Hitch..You surely heard Dawkins on LBC last Easter Sunday. HE' S your enemy. Not Murray,who's doing very nicely on the Path. Posho or not. God wants righteousness, not judging by background and accents. That's what neo Marxists do! Remember?
5.(21.40) No they did not! It was Christianity that surrendered it's place in the culture,gave it away to the state and to the likes of Dawkins and Shapps, Blair and Cameron. You don't get a moral government if the people are as venal as the clowns they elected and rewarded. Nobody's fault but ours dear!
Sorry to go on. Waiting for the binmen...cat on lap and hubbys doing me a cuppa
Besides ,it's Meaningful Wednesday innit?
All my love, you're a genius with a big heart. There's no such thing as mental illness, just people without a godly purpose....discuss!🤔
So glad your back and rocking the jegging! Dehumanise is exactly right. Even those pics of those in the eclipse glasses looked ridiculous. Looking forward to the new podcast. Chuffed on at 8am for my dog walk and 20min drive to work. Couldn't get into Ripley (gave up after Episode 1) Fancy having all that beautiful scenery and then filming in black and white. Why do I think that it is on purpose?! Make us forget we ever had blue skies?
You're spot on about charity.Those girls are typical of the self righteous, clueless people running or working for charities. It's only about their street cred whilst making a quick buck for themselves!Well done for just treating the 'homeless' men as worthy humans
Also enjoying Ripley for the same reasons. Havent come across Freddie yet. Trust them to ruin it. - apparently the Amalfi coast is now swamped with Tik Tokers , FS. Nowhere is sacred. Love all your new graphics and channel .
So brilliant Abi 🤩🤗
I am down with Shingles which is like a horror show - cant tolerate the ‘anti virals’ even if I wasnt very sceptical of course but considered it from desperation .

Great pod Abi x
Is Dakota Fanning a weekend hobby? What is a Dakota and does it benefit from being fanned?
