This week an Italian waiter called Hamish upsold Jack on a whisky that he poured over ice-cream (he was having a tough day). And Jack claims a different whiskey as his own.

Meanwhile Graham goes to a friend’s coronation.

Nothing cerebral on the watch list this week - World cup football has been occupying our minds and viewing times but Graham still had time to watch a loooong list of films and TV courtesy of nine hours on a plane (flying to the aforementioned coronation) - however Jack limits him to discussing just one – and it's the Smoking Gun remake. Jack’s contribution is a dud and does not recommend an 8 episode series of a so-called thriller.

And back to the world cup - Jack was spotted in the audience of a TV show – Cup Fever - and loved that experience.

We have been listening Lorde and a podcast on an Australian electronic music sampler, which leads to the listing of several other unexpected Australian inventions.

And we are still slow-reading our novels, with a recommendation from Graham.

Now, back to some more scurryfungeing before the next visitor.
