Sean you are a bad person, because of you my credit card has just taken a flogging!!!


I shall soon be the proud owner of Wire series 1,2 and 4 (I already have 3) and the bloody soundtrack!!!!!!! I only went on there to see how much series 4 cost.


Last time I went on there to by a book (as discussed somewhere else), and ended up spending about ?250. I even cut up the credit card, but Amazon has the details stored, it's just too easy and I have exactly NO self control!

Tonight I shall most likely be watching the last 2 episodes of series 4... I can't believe I now have to wait God knows how long for series 5!!!!!


It really is bloody good, and with all that happened in series 3, I wondered if it would get a bit crap, but I love series 4, the whole education thing has been great, if rather depressing!

First time I've noticed this thread. Love The Wire, love it...I managed to pick up a fairly good copy of series 4 months ago and scoffed it all in a weekend. I need more.

I spotted Idris Elba in Ridley Scotts American Gangster the other day too, that guy deserves all the acting jobs he can get his hands on.

For those of you new to The Wire and wondering what all the fuss is about check out the estimable Charlie Brookers review of the show a www.youtube.co.uk/charliebrooker/the wire

Don't know the actors name, but Stringer Bell turned up in that First female detective agency thing on BBC a couple of weeks ago. Also, I didn't realise that Stringer is actually a Hackney boy! Apparently when people approach him and he opens his mouth they feel cheated until he puts on the Stringer accent! On a similar thread, I was watching the bonus features on Series 4, and McNaulty has got a proper posh boy English accent! Can't believe he went to Eaton. Series 4 bloody brilliant by the way, except the death of one of my favourite characters near the end!

Myself and Mr cEDric are waiting to watch Season 5, having decided with great difficulty to resist the temptation to watch a poor quality download. At the weekend, a friend inadvertently let slip a MAJOR spoiler about the 5th season, which she has now watched. We had done so so well avoiding spoilers and we're now cursing our decision to wait. So be careful folks!

i'll happily start you off on Series 2, but it was a faulty box set - two copies of disc 3 (I think it was 3) but at least it would get you going while you were waiting for keef's

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
