Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I'll still be on during work but that's about it.

 

Wrong. I still have first place in my sights. Nice try though.

 

Oh my goodness, don't tell me you are commenting on every post just to win Beefy..?

Come on FLT, you're bloody 44, man. Leave that sort of thing to the kiddies here.

 

The Costa Concordia is being freed at this moment. Thought you might like to see a few minutes LIVE footage:

Note the old waterline on the ship.

 

will you write me or send a postcard?

 

I hid in here, because it was less gloomy than everywhere else the last week or so. Hadn't realized how bad I've been in here this week....I'll go find the oldies corner

 

Only two more Breaking Bad episodes left

Spoilers for last night:

[nsfw]Nice little touch of symmetry - Remember in the pilot episode where Walt's trousers flew off the RV and landed in the desert? Those same trousers made a cameo last night:

Shooting at American Naval Base...4 dead, 10 injured.

 

Law enforcement sources say one of the Navy Yard shooters is dead.

 

Still haven't started Breaking Bad. I suppose the advantage of that is that when I do start watching it, I won't have to put up with the painful wait between seasons. What I've learnt from Game of Thrones is that a season break can reduce a man to tears.

 

Or worse still, to read the books.

 

Don't worry when Breaking Bad is over we have the Better Call Saul spin off......

 

There are some really stupid ideas about how to deal with diving. The sin bin, for example.

 

Here's the video of the parachutist who had to make an emergency landing on Salisbury's pitch in the middle of Salisbury v Chester FC:

Turkey shoot down a Syrian Helicopter that was in Turkish airspace.

 

[NSFW]The last scene had me close to tears, I was really getting pissed off at walt until I realised mid tirade what he was actually doing.[/NSFW]

 

[NSFW] I love how vince gilligan makes you try to hate walt, but then throws a scene or two like that in to show a bit of humanity [/NSFW]

 

Resisting the urge not to see these Breaking Bad spoilers - I'm only on Season 2!

 

Well, it is quite artsy I think and there are music related degrees iirc. I think it's speciality is kind of the humanities: psychology, sociology, etc. Also, KT Tunstall went there. Apparently she hated it.

 

[nsfw]Yeah, I'm still Team Jesse but it's hard not to secretly root for Walt. The justification of "right, well, he does loads of terrible things, but it's alright cause he kind of makes things a little tiny bit better for everyone else" doesn't sit too well.[/nsfw]
