mockney piers Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Fair enough Keef, my apologies. It's just having personally suffered from a wire spoiler on here that you dropped, I took a decision I regret, but I did feel a sense of urgency on that one. On reflection I should have replaced the offending word word with *spoiler deleted* ;-)Just to be clear I almost never edit posts (barring the odd fix on a broken picture image) and will generally have a quiet word with someone once a month or so. The forum is brilliantly self-policing so we all take a less is more stance.And under instruction I never lounge unless the I am informed the admin is away.

Keef Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you're talking about the spoiler I think you are talking about (involving Greggs), then funnily enough, I didn't know I was spoiling. You assumed from something that I said that I was suggesting a plot line, and that plot line actually came true, but I'd not watched it yet! Weird huh?Anyway, when drunk in the EDT once, you told me all about Bubbles, so we're square! ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/17/#findComment-148660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 We've just started season 4 - thank you, dear Keef - and OMG how good is it?!Loving it. Loving Bunk in particular, not really sure why.

Jah Lush Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Bunk is the nuts. Probably my favourite character. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/17/#findComment-152540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Bunk is great. H eand 2 or 3 other Wire actors popped up in the film "Ray" (about Ray Charles) that I watched the other night.I think 3 & 4 were my 2 fave series, really liked the way 4 kind of starts again after the big finale to 3.

bon3yard Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 So I noticed flicking through The Guide today. Not having Satellite may be a hinderance however. Is this series available on DVD or ought? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/17/#findComment-157985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggers Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I got series One of The Wire from Father Christmas and have just started watching it at the rate of two episodes a night. Four to go. I am loving the way my perception of character is constantly changing. Would love to take someone up on their offer of a loan of series two in the next week or two.......

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Huggers - that last post was weeks ago - you must be on to series 2 by now... And those last 4 episodes in series 1.. emotional or what?

Keef Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I am ashamed to say I caught 10 minutes of the new 90210 last night, and I'm sure one of the main characters is Michael from The Wire! He's come up in the world! ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/17/#findComment-161980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggers Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Oh Sean I havent got series 2 yet, and yes those last episodes were sweat drippingly emotional. We've got to finish watching 3 lovefilms dvds before we can join the queue for series 2. See, I can' even string a sentence together anymore. Happy to lend someone series 1, can anyone lend us series 2? Don't think we can hold...out ....much...longer. pleeeease. We're going through terrible cold nut roast.

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 my series 2 is already "out there" but if you still haven't got it by that time I'll get it around to you. Have I told you it gets better and better? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1290-the-wire/page/17/#findComment-162049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Have I told you it gets better and better?Until the last series, where, whilst still good, it rather lets itself down, and dies like a fart in a concert hall.My series 2 is also out there (Jah, if you speak to Steveo can you ask him for it back, as I think he's well and truly finished with it).

Jah Lush Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 That's good news for people who have this obscure channel but not so good for people who don't. My advice is to get the boxset which is a much better way of watching this fanfuckingtastic series.
