Really... Hmmm, may have to cancel said order...


I just found out that Stringer (Idris Elba) was in THIS series that I rather enjoyed in the late 90s (97/98 maybe)... It rode the wave of Jack Davenport's fame from This Life, but don't think it really took off. Shame.


Please ignore the music in the background of the vid on youtube!

haha:

Sitting opposite West in a scruffy office above a Soho pub, listening to him chat affably about his love of Chekhov and Tolstoy, it's difficult to comprehend that this is the guy you're used to seeing mooch into the DA's office in downtown Baltimore, drawling his catchphrase "What the fuck did I do?"

so, anyone watch it last night on FX?


I recorded it - partly to skip ads, but I'll also try and build up a backlog of episodes before I start. So, no spoilers please


I saw a picture in a review this morning of one of the news guys and saw it was Clark Johnson - one of the main characters in the direct predecessor to the Wire - Homicide Life in the Street. Think he directed a few of the early Wire episodes as well


And for a show on a tiny satellite channel, boy did it generate some columns in the papers at the weekend!

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.

      We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]

      I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
