Scattered Strawberry Summer

Watching the episodes I get that warm and fuzzy feeling. 

Full disclosure: the last 2 series are a bit meh, but the the rest worth bingewatching.

Watch the whole thing, it's worth it, if you like that sort of thing.

You ever see those people in school or college that are always deep in a book? It’s not so much that they love reading. It’s because when you’re on your own it’s too embarrassing to be sitting and not doing anything.

My Mad Fat Diary Series 2 finale is on today. I enjoyed series 2 just as much as series 1. How many times did I feel like shouting "Rae, don't do that, Rae that's just bloody stupid". But you know there is a bit Rae in all of us.

I wish I could find a list of best quotes from the series, plenty of hilarious and insightful lines.

The soundtrack is brilliant to, you can find episode playlists here.

My and my BF went to see Jimmy Carr live at the Congress theatre yesterday, so this is a sort of a review, which is bound to be subjective as he is my favourite comedian.

Well, first of all, I had a great time! I laughed a lot. Jimmy is mostly one-liner comedian which is great cause you get a lot of jokes in a short time. So I guess, good value for money :)) However, he's not to everyone's taste, he's jokes can be quite offensive. But I love him, he can make a joke about everything, EVERYTHING.I love that he is anything but PC.

At the end of the show, he tested our limits with increasingly offensive jokes. We still laughed and felt ashamed that we found it funny.

We had great seats, in 5th row, quite near. We  were a bit afraid he will ask us something or whatever. He does talk to audience a lot, but you know, it's funny when he's mocking others, but when it's you.. :))  If I could come up with a really good come back quick enough, I wouldn't mind it, but I know I wouldn't.
I still prefer when he's telling jokes rather than engaging with the audience as it gets boring quite soon.

He did some regional accents that he hadn't done before. However, I couldn't understand some of it. That is the reason I'm never gonna see John Bishop live - I can't understand his scouse accent, I need subtitles!

Anyway, there were a few old jokes, some, I think, were from his facebook/twitter page, yeah I follow him, he post a few jokes every day.

My BF also thoroughly enjoyed it and he said it was definitely worth £25. Pretty cheap for a first class comedian! Although, I'm surprised that he goes to places like Hastings or Eastbourne. But hey, good for me that I don't have to go another town to see him.

I'd also like to see Michael McIntyre some day. He's more family-friendly comedian , mostly focuses on observational comedy, he's very good, makes me laugh so hard. Another comedian on my wishlist is Tim Minchin, I wanted to see him last year but tickets I could afford were sold out.  Talking about comedy, I'd love to be in the audience in Miranda's filming. That would be soooooo cool.

Some quotes from the first episode:


Sherlock: Brilliant! Yes! Ah, four serial suicides and now a note. Oh, it's Christmas. 


Sherlock: Possible suicides. Four of them. There's no point sitting at home when there's finally something fun going on.
Mrs. Hudson: Look at you, all happy. It's not decent.
Sherlock: Who cares about decent? The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on! 


Sherlock: Dear God, what is it like in your tiny little brains? It must be so boring




Watson: I just met a friend of yours.
Sherlock: A friend?
Watson: An enemy.
Sherlock: Oh. Which one?
Watson: Your archenemy, according to him. Do people have archenemies?
Sherlock: Did he offer you money to spy on me?
Watson: Yes.
Sherlock: Did you take it?
Watson: No.
Sherlock: Pity, we could have split the fee. Think it through next time.




Sgt. Sally Donovan: Are these human eyes?
Sherlock: Put them back!
Sgt. Sally Donovan: They were in the microwave.
Sherlock: It's an experiment.


Sherlock: Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street. 


Watson: You were going to take that damn pill, weren't you?
Sherlock: Of course I wasn't. Biding my time. Knew you'd turn up.
Watson: No you didn't. That's how you get your kicks, isn't it? You risk your life to prove you're clever.
Sherlock: Why would I do that?
Watson: Because you're an idiot. 


Of course, it's not that funny taken out of context, so better watch it if you haven't already
