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

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
