Watched upto episode 7 last night. Have surfaced for food and my EDF fix, and am off again to start on episode 8 before I get dragged out of my pit by my daughter later - I have to do family stuff!


One thing I have to say tho is - Why, Omar? Now you have a buckethead. Please grow it back!!!

Finished series 4 last night. OMG what a waste of life.


I know it's only make believe but how can anyone not want to change things after seeing this!


Their education system, political system and police are all driven by stats and test results, same as in the UK and the results of this are the same here as shown in The Wire.


SeanMG, how can you not want to be a politician and fight for change after watching the mind blowing series 4???

hmmm, yes a quick check done on Amazon: March. I may have to buy the R1 copy from the States.


Yeah - I was done with the first series in a matter of days. It's just so compelling and rarely here's a TV show with real characters, not just mouths for 2-D plot devices. I love the way in some episodes seemingly nothing happens only for events to come crashing down later on, the look into people's f-cked up personal lives and the mistakes we all make. There's almost nothing like this in other shows, except maybe as vehicles to explore this week's "issue". And it's funny ...

Keef I'm a recent convert (thanks to the EDF). It's gritty realism at its best if only for lines like this:


Proposition Joe: I heard your end would be covering my fee.

Stringer Bell: Your fee?

Proposition Joe: Yeah, I'm like a marriage counselor. Tell the man he oughta bring the bitch some flowers every once in a while. Tell the bitch she gotta suck some cock every once in a while. That sort of shit.

[Omar arrives]

Proposition Joe: Speaking of cocksuckers...

[to Omar]

Proposition Joe: I'm Proposition Joe. You fuck with me, I'll kill your whole family.


Trouble is, I'm trying to watch it with Mrs LL, so finding a gap between feeding baby LL and catching up on sleep means we're only up to episode 2, season 1:-S

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
