So you'd rather live in the sttest place to live in UK as opposed to the second sttest place. Right that's logical.

The vicar and her dog visit old peoples' homes. "He had two pink wafers off one old lady, then he put his nose right up her skirt, and she gave him a custard cream". Funniest thing she's ever said.

(PS If Scarlett Moffat looks more orange than usual in the next few weeks, then you can blame my daughter. She found out that Ms. Moffat uses the tanning products of the company for which she works in marketing, and sent her a pile of freebies. I don't think she sent her any scales.)

Wasn't that Ginger Baker on the tambourine in Elton John's backing group? Did nobody recognise him?

BTW when I first glimpsed the brown tassels on the Michael family's sofa it looked for all the world like a dog had suffered diarrhoea. It took me a second or two to focus and realise what I was looking at.

I couldn't take my eyes off the tambourine man so thanks for that. I'm embarrassed I didn't recognise him. Shame one of the best drummers in the world was relegated to that.

The guy playing tambourine is Ray Cooper, who has been in Elton'so band since the 1970's. Also long term band members are Nigel Olson on drums (wears white gloves) and Davy Johnson playing double guitar.

Re the changing food, it's all done to give a suggestion of watching on different days, when apparently it's all filmed in one go. Same as many game shows where if a contestant is knocked out in the early stages they get to come back the "next day," they are instructed to bring several outfits so that it looks as if it's the next day rather than just after lunch the same day.

Thing that amuses me about the Malones is that the dogs don't touch the food. Our Golden would be a hazard to everyone trying to wolf down jam tarts, buns, biscuits or whatever. Yes he is badly trained and it's easier just to keep stuff out of reach to stop counter surfing, anyone would think we never fed the little gannet.

Retrievers, both long-haired and Labrador, are infamous in the canine world for this - they're the natural dustbins of their species.

I had a succession of black labs, all of which were complete gannets. We once went to the local pub for a Christmas drink, leaving a buffet for 8/10 adults in the dining room with the door closed, and the dog left alone in the house. We returned to one (#1) vol-au-vent (this was the 80s) which we mutually decided he had left deliberately to convince us the buffet was still intact.

The Malones' dogs seem very well-behaved, a credit to good dog ownership. I'm a firm believer in the oft-derided maxim "there's no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners". Mind you, the dad's phone took a hammering from what appeared to be Dave's vomit/drool.

I have a whippet that could give any lab a run for its money on who would be the biggest dustbin, he is a nightmare. I thought our last whippet was bad for this but Bryn outstrips him.

His only fault bless him and no aggression/possessiveness at least!!

I don't watch Gogglebox too often but I enjoy it when I do.

Leo is a mixed bag (that is the old man's name I think) can sound cantankerous yet is a big softie at heart.

Leon mentioned that he and June had lots of hurdles in the way before they could make their marriage succeed. Made me wonder what. Do you think June isn't Jewish, and he had mighty opposition from his family?

For all his moaning he clearly thinks the world of her.

He clearly still fancies her to bits too. Lovely really isn't it.

I read the kindly provided link to the Guardian article - she was a real looker. But doesn't he look just like the young Bruce Forsyth?

Did anyone watch Gogglesprogs?

The brother and sister watching The Snowman, I think they said she was 5 and he was 10, it got to the end, when it's the next morning and the snowman had melted.

Girl asking her brother, sad face: "What's happened to the snowman?"

Brother, bluntly: "He's dead"

Vicar after watching the demise of the little Yorkie - "Still, at least they won't have to dig a very big hole". Sick woman.
