I have brief moments and fancy a trip back bud, unfortunately social media is far easier to navigate to so generally where I’m found, must admit there’s a haulage company floating around called OLOF and think of you every time I see them how you doing? Still lighting the touch paper and stepping back?

You know me too well mate, I certainly am:bandit:
I've seen that haulage company flying about, one of the other lads pointed it out on here a while back.
I'm all well and good thanks, be even better when all this bollox is finished.
Good to see you pop back on here mate, hope everything is ok and you are well.:emoticon-0167-beer:<ok>

Just finished the second season of Slow Horses on Apple TV

Great acting specially by Gary Oldman and the storyline is good too, both series one and two, well worth a watch

Yes I did watch Squid games, one that you have to keep watching then you still can’t make up your mind whether you enjoyed it or not, very strange one

My wife almost turned it off after the first episode but he persevered and I think it was the best show of 2021.

Alice Borderlands is a mind **** of a show. Trying to guess what the dark truth behind everything

I do find I get distracted on shows or films that are dubbed, squid games, I wanted to watch with subtitles and the wife insisted dubbed. When the voices don’t match the actors it spoils it a little.

Saying that, I was just looking through a FB group I belong to where you can by USA movie codes. Someone asked who uses subtitles on films and series. I was amazed at how many do and the main reason being the dialogue being so bad.

As I’ve got older I know my hearing isn’t what it once was, I’m forever turning up the volume to catch the dialogue and down again when the noise of the action scenes vibrate the room

Any series or film I watch on Amazon Prime, I always use subtitles for, probably because I usually watch those shows in the study and I'm relying upon the TV speakers in there. On the occasions when I watch on the main TV which has a £60 soundbar connected, then have no need for subtitles

My dad is practically deaf so he has the TV on really loud then when I moved in with my wife I struggled to hear her TV cos she has supersonic hearing so she has the TV really quiet.

I was watching Derry Girls yesterday with my daughter, we did consider putting on the subtitles.

I had too, first series wasn't too bad but for some reason, seasons 2 and 3 were really difficult to understand.
I also have to use them on some American films, the soundtrack is loud but a lot of the speech is so quiet and they mumble so much, a few people I know, have said the same. Especially these dark noir films, or whatever they're called.
