I always fancied checking out the same way as Nietzsche.

Someone will find me hugging a horse one day, the suffering of human existence having proved too much for me, and cart me off to be looked after for the rest of me time.

 

Indeed.

Laugh a minute is Rodin.

Gates of Hell takes some beating.

He was good at the sculpting lark, him, mind.

 

Always thought Adorno's career ending experience was more appealing! See what you've started here, Chazz.

 

Yes, but could he paint a ceiling?

 

Chazz's philosophy is " I drink, therefore I am."

 

It was certainly less drawn out.

 

I drink, therefore it’s not my round

 

He could.

But given a choice I'd generally get Michaelangelo on that particular job.

 

Bugger for the bottle, that's what you are.

 

I *an* therefore I am.

Delightful?

A load of tosh. Maybe a load of Bosch.

I would give it a strong recommendation Cas

 

Have you seen Amsterdam Vice on Channel 4? Also available to binge watch on Walter Presents on All4. Set in the 1980s it is a prequel to a series that became the largest selling series in Dutch publishing history. Looks promising.

 

No but was milling over what to watch next so will do that .
I did Deuschland 83 a couple of years ago and was pondering doing 86 and 89 .
83 was good have you seen any ?

 

Watched 83 but not the other two.

 

Saw the first two episodes last night, really good.

 

Just been to get some drinks in ready to settle down to watch it.

 

Enjoy, drinks and the telly

 

Think I.,ll give it a skeg later

 

Just watched first two and starting on third. Very good. The way it is shot, rather dark and looking like old film makes it look like Amsterdam of 40 years ago.
