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

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      Londis isnt a take away or fast food outlet. Its simply another convenience store.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By MariaSE22 · Posted

      Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly.

      Where to take a 9 year old during summer holiday.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks

      Who to call to dispose of a dead fox please?

      By Peckhampam · Posted

      When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
