I knew it wasn't just me.

Cheers.

If those memory stick thingies were so important, would you really send your team of crack troops into action (where they may well get caught) with them on a piece of string round their necks?

No, would you balls.....

Just watched second episode of Quarry. It looks promising.

Funniest thing I saw over the holidays was Peter Pan Goes Wrong.

Agree on Sherlock. I didn't even get through it without falling asleep. I'll stick to Come Dine With Me from now on.

Just read the reviews in The Graun and it appears we're not alone.

I think "universally panned" would be a bit strong but there's plenty of malcontent amongst the comments.

It irritated me right from the gingernuts scene.

Print this off and when you're feeling the urge, get it out of your pocket and think back to calmer times, mate:

And weirdly, exactly the same height as the Burnden Stand.

That's a lot of hands.....

Waited 12 months for this and it turned out a bit rubbish.

Up its own arse, full of plot holes and self-involved, navel-gazing bollocks which not only didn't add to the plot, but actually made it a confusing pile of incoherent tripe.

Not impressed.

Still better than most crap on the box but it's trying too hard to be clever at this point.

Not sure if I posted this on here before or the old 606 but here goes again...

An absolutely fantastic 36 minutes if you have the time.

Anyone watch The Accused tonight on ch5? An amazing documentary, worth catching if you didn't see it. I won't give a spoiler, but you HAVE to watch the end.

I didn't see it,and probably won't now,as I already know the result of the trial.

Like the new avatar Manda. Very Happy

I haven't seen it but let me take a wild guess: idiot mother defends brutal boyfriend despite overwhelming evidence that he battered her baby found guilty.

I finally grew the nuts and sacked off SKY a couple of months ago and have taken on Netflix to keep the missus happy. She's not though, so I waded through and found some programmes of the type she likes. Some are old (House of Cards/Homeland) and some newer (Nobel, Juana Ines, The Medici) but I have to say that the quality is generally good. Throw in the best of Freesat and the occasional film and it just about keeps her amused enough to hold back on the whingeing. I know I'll have to get SKY again at some point (unless I can persuade the missus to get a naughty Kodi) but in the meantime I'm saving a grand a year so happy days.

not sure i could cope with no sky, think i mentioned before but i got a great deal with them (well my brother in law did to be honest) so i get the sports and all the boxsets now for a very reasonable price.

Just started watching Oz which i've been wanting to see for years and it's great so far

It's one of my all-time favorite shows, Norpig. There are some absolutely brilliant characters in there. I actually used to prioritise it over The Sopranos back when it first aired.

Seasons 1-4 were amazing but I think it wend downhill a bit in 5 and 6. Still worth watching the lot though.
