If you haven’t seen it already and can go without violence Mad Men was the peak of my lock down viewing. A very long allegory of America. Not all of it strictly top quality but most of it spot on.
Seen it and enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. Interesting having worked in an agency in the 2010s to compare what had changed and what hadn't. Some of the personality types were exactly the same and just so perfect.
I see Jump The Shark, aka Killing Eve, is back for another series of style over substance. Is it the last series? Good.
they should have stopped after the first series which was really enjoyable wife loves it so i will watch it
My mrs loves it too - I find it quite enjoyable in a escapist kinda way. It's not meant to be serious
Manchester Arena bombing: Saffie Roussos's parents on hearing the truth https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60579079 One of the hardest things I’ve ever read. Pushing 56 and I’m sobbing my eyes out. I can’t even imagine how one processes such things and keeps going for the sake of others around you. I recently read an article about a woman who’d lost her soulmate husband about a year ago and wanted to die to be with him. Her healing process started with the realisation that it wasn’t about wanting to die too, but about wanting the pain to go away. I also recently read a book about coping with mental health issues (anxiety and depression) and was amazed at the new clarity it brought: people with depression don’t choose death, they want the pain to go away.
My son does Wordle sometimes too. It was his birthday on Saturday and his mega hungover effort on Sunday shows both the depths to which booze can drag you and the inspiration it can provide. 100% genuine. He was so surprised he took the screenshot.
Any Irvine Welsh fans out there? Just finished watching the Britbox adaptation of Crime - really good. Dougray Scott plays the junkie, alcoholic cop with a troubled past brilliantly. Subject matter is pretty dark, about a serial *****phile child killer in Edinburgh, Mr Confectioner. Great performances all round, very gritty but well worth the watch - six hour long episodes, so not too much of a drag.
Really? Do you have the answer to this, because I’d definitely go for doors. My car has four wheels and four doors, my house has lots of doors and no wheels. Just for me doors are 16 - 4 up.
No wheels on any of your furniture, or garden stuff? My house is full of my grandkids' toys. Wheels everywhere.
You're welcome. It's a daft question, and there's no quantifiable answer. I went doors, then he started getting all antsy saying it had to be wheels. I wasn't in the mood for his pish, so told him where to go.
