I've been downloading Generation Kill - a seven part mini-series about a small company of marines during the recent Iraq conflict. It's by David Simon and Ed Burns of The Wire. Made by Brits and shot in South Africa. It is interesting. I thought there would be more action but I think it is designed to show the Catch-22-esq reality of ground troops - guns don't work, they get lost, missions change, incompetent people order strikes on the wrong targets, etc.

It's an HBO series and the production values are great, the script is lively and after watching one I have actively gone searching for more. However I don't think it has the same level of excitement and drama as the Wire. It's worth seeking out though. I am five episodes in with two to watch.

      Hello,  I am a journalist for the Sunday Times investigating VW car badge's being stolen for a news story. I saw this thread and would love to speak to any of those who posted who had this happen to them. It doesn't have to be a VW, I'm also interested in covering other car owners/makes hit by this crime. My contact details are below - please get in touch if you can help or if you have heard about someone who has fallen victim to this locally  give them my details and let them know I would like to speak to them.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      Wow, thank you—both for this and for all the DMs I’ve received. A few people have figured out who this is and shared that they’ve had issues with her too, albeit in different situations. Many have said there’s something that just feels off in their interactions with her—very inauthentic, possibly even suggestive of a personality disorder. Knowing that others have had similar experiences makes it feel a lot less personal, and honestly, it’s helping me cope.
