***ADULT THEMES AND LOTS OF BLEEPED SWEARS***As you'll hear in this episode, Flick has had very little sleep... very little, which means that she's not holding back with the language.Most for the more direct 'fruity' language has been bleeped, but there's also a lot of conversation about adult themes. We review my choice for Listen To which is the splendid "Uncle Mort's North Country" by Peter Tinniswood and Flick's choice for Look At the classic chick-flick "How to be Single".And then it gets a bit tense.Don't worry, we may make it up one day.TTFNJohn

A Small Union by Peter Tinniswood.mp3 

The “proper sexism” of the mid-1980s and earlier in Northern Working Men’s Clubs remembered by comedy critic Kate Copstick while John Fleming fiddles with his nuts. Copstick reminiscences about her days as a pantomime dame, touring the northern clubs and being pelted with sweets by 2,000 children. There is talk of BBC TV currently ‘desecrating' old sitcoms but not Peter Tinniswood’s “It Takes a Worried Man”. Plus women behind the throne in British TV sitcoms. Sexual social segregation. Sheena Easton’s ex-husband. The powerful women of old-time Music Hall and Vaudeville. And the lost honesty of old-style comedy audiences. Copstick’s quote of the week: “There is nothing wrong with a single-sex club.” http://www.grouchyclub.co.uk (Photograph by Stephen O’Donnell) You can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883 John Fleming posts occasional blogs at: http://blog.thejohnfleming.com
