Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I can't recall a TV equivalent of the music room/cinema/book threads, so I thought I'd clear some bandwith for TV moments


2 to start


I know Gervais annoys people as much as he entertains others but for me, this was the TV highlight of the Christmas schedules - in fact, of the year


Celeb Culture


And, as I've relentlessly banged on about it, the first ever scene in The Wire


Snot Boogy


nothing comes of the scene but it sets the stall out for the show - the up and downside of the American Dream...good guys and bad guys not in diametrically opposed positions...

obviously people have to be careful with spoiler - I very nearly did the finale to LoM as soon as you mentioned it!


flawed tho it was (the reset button was hit every week on any lessons learned in the last episode for example) I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. But no, I wouldn't want the real world to regress back to the Gene Hunt's of the world - as an Irishman I'd be f***ed for a start


And the sequel - Ashes to Ashes - worries me. But I'll give it a go


And yes you are officially next up for Series 1 boxset of t'Wire


But no more posting without adding some TV gold - I miss this series very very much - this is the news!


Day Today


(why haven't news producers gleaned ANYTHING from this???)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
