Zooming through series 5. Enjoying it A LOT, but for the first time, I'm finding part of it to hollywood and unbelievable (the McNulty thing). Still great though, except another of my all time favourites has been killed off! Doubt he'll be the last. Episodes 8 and 9 tonight I think. Oh, and I want a cool name too :-(
Well That's The Wire finished for me. Last series good as ever, but far from my favourite (3 and 4 get that prize). To be honest I thought it could have done with at least another hour to tie it all up, it just felt a bit rushed at the end. That said, it's still the absolute nuts, and a couple of really good bonus featurettes too.

urgh. That's it. One more feature length 90 minute final episode to go and it's all over. Now what do we do for an evening's DVD box set viewing. It was bad enough watching countless episodes of Friends as we waited for Season 5 DVD to be released but now what. And before you ask, yes we done the Sopranos. Whatchu gonna do ?


I have to say it's quite the oddest thing, watching a character with your name (Michael Lee). It's even odder bearing in mind most of the characters don't have full names ie Bug, Dukie, Cheese, Namond etc. And of course not forgetting the fact that I have little to no resemblance to Bodymore's Michael Lee in either physique or career choice.


And my final thought for the night - from Episode 1, Season 1, we've had the subtitles on. Otherwise you gotta spend all your goddam bitch-ass motherfuckin time rewinding and rewinding. How about you ?

The character Cheese is actually called Cheese Wagstaff, father of.... No spoilers for those still on S1...apparantly this was going to be explored further down the line but it was never gotten around to.


I watched S1-3 with my lady, who is French, and who therefore needed the subs or it was game over. It did help me massively to understand what was being said.


I then watched S4 + 5 alone for whatever reason, sans subs, and found that I had to work a little harder to get everything, but I enjoyed it more as I was focusing more on what was going on and not on the script at the bottom of the screen.

E2A: Ive still not seen the last 2 episodes of S5

season 2 is sooo different to the others but is possibly my favourite. The story it tells is one even less explored than the normal urban decay. Without giving stuff away my only gripe is that very few of the characters re-appear in later series.


But a dockers breakfast! Has to be seen to be believed!!

The Wire Season 2 has been right at the top of my "must have NOW" list with lovefilm.com forever and I finally received disc 1 on Saturday morning. I was giddy with excitement. Unfortunately I had to hurry off to the West End to the Saturday afternoon matinee of Hairspray with my Brighton friends (how very gay my Saturday was). Anyway, Good Morning Baltimore y'all

Many hours later I was tucked up in bed (slightly pissed) watching disc 1 on my laptop. A whole different take on Baltimore, I think you'll agree. Gosh I'd almost forgotten how hot McNulty is. So long since I saw Season 1 that I'm sort of finding my feet a little. It's all good.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
