Every time there's a Soul Mole it's ace and I wish it were more often, before remembering that if it were it wouldn't be such a guaranteed-to-get-everyone-out Event, and shutting up. So, that. Pity that, between T-Mobile types and licensing, we didn't get more use out of the balcony, but while I was out there I did see the thoroughly Islington sight of certain members of the parish downing the last of their travelling booze - and then recycling the bottles. Bit more ventilation and some pints and I could really love that venue; meanwhile, it's still pretty good.

Peep Show may have had a patchy fourth series but oh my, it came right in the finale. One of their best episodes ever, I think. Wishing neither to spoiler anyone, nor just end up quoting the whole thing, I shall restrain myself to saying that I don't think I've seen quite such arc-based storytelling in a sitcom since Spaced; the use of little elements from the prior episodes was nicely done even where those episodes themselves hadn't been great.

That aside, am still puzzled as to why the tracklisting on my Gang Starr best-of bears no relation to the actual order of the tracks, but otherwise content. Oh, and it's Nashville-on-Thames at the Buffalo Bar tomorrow - complete with Darren from Hefner in the live bluegrass act!

I wasn't so keen on the ending to Peep Show. I mean, I enjoyed it, and I laughed (painfully), but it went a bit wacky sitcom. What I like about it usually is that it's so normal, low-key and plausible, while still being utterly horrifying and dark.

Nothing this bad could happen in reality.

I agree with your general point, and the failing of some of this series' earlier episodes was implausibility (the prostitution bit, or the cancer announcement). But the finale...I've been to some very bad family weddings. For all that it spiralled into lunacy, I could believe that.

Even aside from your husband's likely reaction, it's really not the best club for it, given it's run by The Law!

Well, one lawman and one member of the international press corps.

I still find it hard to process that that icon isn't you!

でもね、こんなにいっぱいお店出しちゃっていいのだろうか?
東京でさえ、一日1点か2点がやっとだと思うから、福岡とか名古屋はそのうちなくなると思う。アンテナしょっぷという意味もあるかもしれないけど。銀座ができるからもうすぐ8店舗目。これ、すごいよね。

サービスの水準を維持するのってかなり困難になると思う。

うちの近所の伊勢丹の1Fに大きなコーチの売り場ができたけど、たしかに、これって地下で食料品を買いにくるついでに買うブランドかも。
それにしても、あそこの店員さんたち、みんな、同じ人がおしゃれして新宿の伊勢丹でもっと高い商品を買いに行っていることしっている。その人たちが、食品を買いにくるついでに、ちょっと立ち寄ったついでに、おしゃれで気の利いたものを売るのが戦略。こいういう情報を店員に徹底している伊勢丹はすごいと思う。

I don't know, do I? That's what 'foreign' means!

Although given the clientele...

Did it used to be about quarterly? If it didn't, it should have been.
