Which reminds me, Foo Fighters are releasing a show where they travel around America recording songs in different studios along the way for their latest album. Think it's called Sonic Highway or similar.


Not sure whether I'm looking forward to it or not. Could be interesting and they seem nice enough guys, but...

Nothing INTENTIONALLY good anyway - the Metallica one was gold from start to finish tho'


Should be said I also have a genuine soft spot for the Flaming Lips doc - "Fearless Freaks" - not sure that's band-produced

Do you mean the old "year and a half in the life of Metallica" one where they recorded the black album then went on tour (including cool behind the scenes footage from the Freddy Mercury tribute concert)?


That was/is wicked.


Not seen the later ones where they're all angry and pissed off.

HBO making it, which gives me some hope it's be good.

Has any one caught Enlightened at all, a strange little Laura Dern vehicle by HBO. About a big pharma/chem exec who has a breakdown then turns a new leaf after a rather new age treatment retreat, but her new priniples don't help much when you can't escape yourself or your life.


I'm actually really enjoying it, almost british style bleak comedy done with californian (nebraskan? I dunno) glow.

If you want to be totally baffled & enthralled at the same time, I suggest you watch one of the most ingenious films I've ever seen.


The Prestige - Sunday night 10.00pm BBC2


Be warned though, if you blink, you'll lose track of the plot. Plus you really have to watch it twice in order to figure out what you've just seen so hope it is either repeated or available on iplayer.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
