This is one of those less known British comedy films. Fortunately, I stumbled upon it on Apple’s movie trailers’ page, and decided to throw it in my queue on Netflix. It turns out to be quite enjoyable. It is not one of those comedies that you find yourself rolling on the ground, instead its comical effect only results in smiles and at most few giggles.

In addition, I am still in the process of cleaning up some old and redundant entries. I hope you enjoy the new theme, while I iron out a list of unfinished design details.

Reading some Spanish players’ interviews defending this photo really made me losing respect to these players; furthermore, if they truly believe in what they said, I seriously have to question their intelligence.
