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

      Anyone found small purple earring?

      By Enable · Posted

      Lost morning of 5th November between Archdale Road  and Denmark Hill station via Lordship Lane.

      All go on Lordship Lane..

      By thfc2001 · Posted

      Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose.
