    How does a force of nature like Jonah Lomu die at the age of 40? RIP JL.

    He'd been ill for such a long time...must have suffered, though his death was unexpected. Some people transcend their sport....he was one of those.

    Anyone been following River which finished yesterday. Superbly moving with brilliant acting. Top quality drama which will live in the memory (and you don't say that very often).

    Yes, but like you with Fargo (how good is that by the way?) we have recorded it so don't give it away! We are watching River tonight and have found it very good so far.
    We have watched or recorded the following tv series recently, most of them have copious amounts of blood which tells you something about our preferred taste in drama.
    Fargo...excellent
    River...very good
    Unforgotten....not bad
    Homeland....very good
    The Returned....haven't seen any of series 2 yet but series 1 was ok
    From Darkness...absolute dross.
    I'm hoping for more similar quality series to get us through the winter.

    I am enjoying Fargo and enjoyed Unforgotten. Have deleted the second series of The Returned....liked the first series, but decided it would probably just drift on, so decided against it. Am looking forward to the new series of The Bridge....strangely love subtitled dramas.

    Got me there, Chilco. Can't recall anything in Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau which refers to tyranny. Plenty about foreigners and keeping things pure. (Similar to La Marseillaise in that respect). I can imagine the upset if we ever had an anthem like that - crushing "rebellious Scots" causes enough offence to those who seek it.

    Perhaps "Foeman trampling the land underfoot" then, in one translation. Same sort of sentiment as the French song anyway, rather than ours bashing anyone who dares to resist our Imperial rule!

    Murray/Peers lose to the Bryant brothers in London. Had them on the rack, but Peers let Murray down at the end. The last game they will play together as well.
