Blog Light
Aug. 5th, 2016 08:51 pmIt has been a lovely sunny day with just a few moments of it being overcast. I went to the library this morning to use their WiFi but it was down for some technical reason, and hence my idea was scuppered - the commons room WiFi was playing up with LJ and it still is even now.Dreamwidth is unaffected and although u could use the one at Wetherspoons i cannot afford to buy a pint per session i am there.
So today has been a blog light day for me.

Richard Lewis "The Encyclopaedia of Cult Children's TV" ( Allison & Busby)
Whilst comprehensive in the amount of material represented and the fascinating factoids, the author seems overly fond of portraying himself in a mildly acerbic and cynical manner, whilst attempting to convey some sort of pseudo erudite humour. Failure all round sire.
A shame as it had all the makings of a positively interesting read. Instead it came over as rather half-arsed and not really enthusiastic about his subject. I was very disappointed.
