BONFIRE NIGHT
We won’t be having people round, we’re gonna have a small bonfire and about three fireworks and that’ll do us. We can’t stand fireworks at the best of times; all you do is get neck ache, what’s the point? They sold out of mushy peas at Goose Fair so I hope that doesn’t happen at Bonfire Night. It was barbaric.

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH BREXIT?
We don’t know. No idea what’s going on. We saw on the news that there was this posh building, but other than that, we know nothing. It’ll all come out in the wash, won’t it? Nothing to worry about.

NEW STAR WARS AND BLADE RUNNER FILMS
Don’t care. It’s a load of mish mash and it’s about time Star Wars was in the museum of films. They’re all old now, even Ewan McGregor’s getting on. Blade Runner is another one we’re not interested in; there’re far better films. The Heat of the Night, that’s much better than any of the Star Wars films, not that we’ve ever seen them. Kind Hearts and Coronets is one of the best films ever, it’s a classic. Alec Guinness is in that one, too. He’s a mass murderer, in a nice sort of way. What we’d rather talk about is the Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight. It’s thirty acres and it’s the best garlic ever.

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
