    I'm sure the 7th is out now and the last one this weekend so that should work well, I'll start about 5pm with stack of food and a stack of beer and get the lot done by about 2am.

    Haven't checked for a while so I'll have to see how many new episodes are available, but sounds like you have a pretty decent, relaxing night planned <ok>

    The kids will do their best to spoil my plans but I'm sure I'll manage it. Have you seen The Counselor? I'm looking for opinions on it, it's been slated but I love Cormack Mcarthy and the last two films made from his books have been brilliant.

    Anyone seen The Following?

    It's out on sky demand box sets, so might give it a go.



    True detective is brilliant <ok>

    Ya, season 2 is on now. Luv didn't like it but I quite like it, doesn't hold a flame to True Detective and Boardwalk but I think it is still pretty good.

    It sucks big time, too long something silly like 20 episodes, the main bad guy is simply boring and without spoiling it season 2 just get even more stupid story wise.

    Just checked on IMDB and it's only got a 5.5 rating, or something along those lines. Having said that, the cast looks good and I remember the trailer looking okay, so I'll put it on my 'to watch' list. ;)

    Not seen The Following, Sky. Let me know what you make of it. <ok>

    Will do mate. I downloaded the first series last night on Sky. Worth a go as Kevin Bacon is the lead actor <ok>

    Sounds pretty decent too

    I might not watch it for a while though as I wanna see True Detective first and I'm also doing a re-run of The Wire (only 2 seasons left to watch).

    This is probably my 5th run through of The Wire, timeless stuff that is as good every time <ok>

    Either that or I'm obsessed!

    Their new album is pretty good. They are amazing live in an insane kind of way.

    Agree they're basically carnage live. Been slowly back cataloguing them, good stuff except one EP which takes a bit of getting up to. But still better than watching United at the moment. &#55357;&#56834;

    There's some strange stuff there for sure, if you Google John Dwyer you'll find solo stuff and other bands he's in. The Hospitals are worth a listen.

    Watched Rush last night, I didn't fancy it but the rating was good and I'm glad I watched it very good film.

    Tonight i will watch The Counselor as it's based on a book by one of my fav authors Cormack Mcarthy (The Road, No Country for Old Men) it has an IMDB rating of 5.5 and has been slated.

  18. I was choosing between Rush and Delivery Man, went for the latter because it was half hour shorter and the mrs (not married) had plans. She not ****ing doing anything now <grr>

    Wrong choice, that Delivery Man looks ****. I'm not a F1 fan but that Rush is very good an amazing story, hard to believe it was real.

  20. It had a 6.4 rating on IMDB (not the greatest but far from the worst) so gave it a go.

    Looking forward to watching Rush. Also got Captain Phillips, Gravity, Prisoners and Thor - Dark World to watch too
