I really do hope his weight loss is due to healthy eating, though to me he now looks anything but that. <br /><br />Yes, I see that the eastern side especially will suffer the worst of the weather over the next two or three days, though it's nitheringly cold here right now. Every time I look at the BBC ten-day forecast the day of recovery keeps seeming to be pushed back and back (currently Sat for these parts at least).

Going out to see a film would be madness. I think Tim Spall looks ill but the papers seem to think he looks younger because he has lost so much weight, and it is because of healthy eating. Personally I thought he looked better as he was.

In certain areas I am rather harder to please than some, so don't put too much store by my views.<br />Btw: What's happened to Spall? The only times I've seen someone become as physically diminished as he has is when they've been, like me, diagnosed with diabetes, so I'm guessing that could be what's happened to him. I'm lucky in (so far) not having undergone any weight loss. I like him too - as well as his son, Rafe, whom I'd rate as quite a hottie!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-8883782417071455752018-02-27T13:59:07.366-08:002018-02-27T13:59:07.366-08:00I was going to see this today but couldn't go ...I was going to see this today but couldn't go because of the snow. I am hoping to see it tomorrow but it is snowing again now. I wasn't going to read your review but in the end I did because of not getting to the film I am a bit surprised. I hope I get to see it. I still want to go. I like Tim Spall.

However, if you don't mind such things (and I do envy those who aren't bothered), then go for it . <br /> <br />I've had a soft spot for Imelda S. since she first came to my notice in the original London production of 'Into the Woods' 21 years ago, which I saw twice, when she had the relatively modest role of 'Baker's wife'. I saw that production twice. Since then she's really stretched herself on both stage and screen to a reputation she fully deserves. <br />I too saw her (on TV) playing Gypsy R.L. and any doubts I had had beforehand that she may not be able to rise fully to the challenge she quickly dispelled.<br />In this particular film she gets to depict a range of emotions so in that respect at least I can guarantee that it won't disappoint you.
