Sean and Keef, did either of you ever see Lonesome Dove?


Really, really good cowboy drama shown over a few episodes. I'm not particularly into wild westy type stuff as such, but this was so well put together and well acted (Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Chris Cooper, Anjelica Huston..). I really recommend it if you haven't, they show it every so often on TV.

you will be a busy boy Keef


we watched the penultimate episode last night - contender for best episode ever. And now all that remains is the 2 hour finale tonight


I'm devestated - not about a programme finishing - but by the lessons learnt from the whole thing. It's amazing how so many of the debates that have happend on this forum have echoes in the show and how the answers are clarly nowhere near as simplistic as those espoused.

4 is wicked! Wasn't sure where it would go after 3, but it may well be my favourite series. Can't bring myself to do the whole sopranos thing again, love it, but there's just too much of it! We've been rewatching I Claudius, which is hilarious having watched Rome quite recently. By happy coincidence though, it does basically take up the tale right where Rome leaves it.

The Wire is a pretty big commitment of time, but Spaced is just 2 short series and is an absolute must see, packed full of cultural references (mostly zombie films and star wars to be fair) and some great great comedy quotes.

It's by the Sean of the Dead / Hot Fuzz people.

Mrs *Bob* is the one who (after much arm-twisting) agrees to watch I film I love (which she's never seen) and then about twenty minutes in says "oh.. I have seen this one".


I fear that trying to schedule-in several series of 'The Wire' might be the end of us.


We have Spaced on DVD somewhere (lazy Christmas present from someone or other) so will no doubt try tick that box when we get around to it etc

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
