Will the BBC win its £16m Bollywood bet? New Sunday night drama A Suitable Boy is one of the corporation's most expensive ever - and the first to have a cast entirely made up of people of colour

A spirited young girl, a forbidden love and a coming-of-age tale that will have you on the edge of your sofa (plus a rather dashing male lead or two) — it has all the elements of a familiar Sunday night drama.

My property abuts directly on to 322. I’m going to loose 1/3 of my back yard. They say late 2021 before it gets to me. I’m sure whatever they offer as compensation will suck and I already have a lawyer lined up. I get that it has to be done and have no problem with that, just want to be compensated fairly.

I notice as time goes by, the more something is pimped and pushed the lousier it turns out to be. Hype adds nothing to the product, and letdown is the usual result. Oy!

If given a chance to work I will. But the filthy lying cheating Indian Cheap Labor Express won’t be going away. So I will sit on forums bitching about no jobs as there are no jobs even tangential to my field available to Americans.

I maybe middle-aged, but don’t force me into a minimum wage Walmart greeters job yet.
