A fun thread about India brought this song to mind. The first words the reporter says are the first non-English words I learned, from My Dad when I was an infant, and they've stuck. The video is set (NOT shot) near where my Dad went to school, too As-salaam alaikum! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk0-...

I learned earlier today that it was the 30th anniversary of the signing of my favourite #ArsenalFC player ever, Dennis Bergkamp. "He's a ten but,... there's no but" To celebrate, a merger of two things that have separately brought mirth misery to my life #KDrama & #Arsenal - they made a GREAT team

One of the truly great things about being a late middle-aged #KDrama viewer is that I am far too old for crass, unsubtle PPL to influence or affect me in any way at all . . . . . . He says, starting on his 4th Kopiko of the evening

Ep 4 of #CDrama #MyLoverFriend & the smug smarmy smirking ML is pushing me closer to a drop, but first, a reminder that thanks to @daebakpodcast.bsky.social I ain't never gonna see a spud the same in #CDramas Here, a character praises TWO foods, the reply mentions only one. Guess which? 🥔

In ep 3 of #CDrama #MyLoverFriend the ML is rescuing the FL from her predatory boss? 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️ Sadly #CDramas in general only pay token lip service to gender equality. The FL might have been his "leader" in school, but now they're grown up, she needs a man to save HER, obviously. Le sigh!

1/2 Two episodes into #CDrama #MyLoverFriend, and already the patronizing attitude of the male lead is irritating. It's a standard #CDrama trope. They  are same age classmates from school, in very different careers. Since they are the same age, their working lives have been of similar duration

I just learned that today is the 45th anniversary of the greatest English-language film. Ever. When I list my favourite films of all time, this one always comes 2nd after Pyaasa (1957). Both have GREAT #music this one is just a tad more fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1M5...

My blog posts on pre-2010 #KDrama #TWDrama & #JDrama OSTs included what may be THE ne plus ultra #KDrama romcom #CoffeePrince - here's what I consider to be the #Bollywood equivalent, the best Hindi romcom of this century. By lakhs of leagues😍 #JabWeMet www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxpo...

Since, as we all know, there's no up and down in space, the SOUTHERN Hemisphere is "on the top of the world, looking down on creation, and the only explanation" is that #Aoteaora is not an awful place to live (a #Maori word for "North" = "down" & "South" = "up") www.timeout.com/news/the-isl...

If anyone wants a random list of OLD #KDrama #TWDrama and #JDrama osts WITHOUT having to read an old man's rambles about each one, here's my playlist. The blog posts do provide some context, but the songs are interesting anyway, I think youtube.com/playlist?lis...

No idea why this popped into my head nowI. have LONG preferred (Brimful of) Asha over her FAMOUS didi, and so I love that in this iconic 'duel', Lata "loses". Shamshad Begum CRIMINALLY undervalued imo. Colourisation is also criminal, but we're stuck with it now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7haD...
