giggirl - you are in here at your peril! Or you don't mind spoilers I guess...


Keef - The scene I mean is when Brother M's flunky is looking for Omar and visits a gay bar - something he is incredibly bothered by. Anyway dramatic scene follows, with flunky leaving as he is watched by the regular customers - including an alone, on the pull Rawls in a not-very-festching sweater

Aaah, one of the great quotes of the show


Brother Mouzone: You're the perfect bait. They will view you as conflicted, you're homophobia is so visceral.

Lamar: See that. I haven't even walked in the place yet and you're already calling me a cocksucker.

I'm here!


Ahhh, The Wire. I'm currently reading David Simon's Homicide and some of the characters are obviously the basis for future Wire characters.


I'm not sure where to begin on here though.


Favourite character? Spiros.

Favourite scene? Tough one, but probably in Series 5 where the opening events show Michael being chased through a deserted warehouse and you think he's going to get killed, he ends up shooting Snoop and the whole thing turns out to be a training exercise. Gripping stuff.

Keef beat me to it.


Ooh, am reading homicide too, it feels weirdly like watching (err in word form) a documentary about the making of the wire.

But it's very cool!!

Back to characters.

Does Herc have any good points? There are times I really want to kill him, but he's earnest I guess, just stupid, and he does actually catalyse Marlow's downfall.

    • There has been a number of achievements, but drowned out due to: Bloody awful comms from the government Some daft decisions and initiatives, then either digging themselves into a hole and/or turning For example the well off should not get winter fuel allowance, benefit needs to be reformed and rich farmers should not get tax breaks, but we now how all that went  Employers national insurance - money has to be raised from somewhere but that is the difficult question The image from the right wing press has now stuck, propagated by traditional and social media. And then some appalling acts of self harm. We of course all know better, but I do wonder about the competence of those advising him.
    • Left on wall outside 27 landells Rd ( end near Lordship Lane and library )
    • When did this whole “elect a govt and then change leaders as we see fit “ notion take hold ? it didn’t help the Tories and it won’t help Labour  (and why do people think they can change leaders, call new elections on a whim, but NEVER EVER talk about changing Brexit)  I dont think starmer is doing a good job. But he was elected. And the volatile electorate wanting short term fixes are part of the reason behind his ultra-cautiousness  Complaining about govt and suggesting change of direction seem fine to me. Demanding a change of leader not so much  that being said, if there was some Labour implosion and someone like Burgon was in some mad scenario made leader, then I think the electorate should be entitled to a general election. Just as it should have happened when Johnson was replaced 
    • Personally, I would like to see labour do something positive for the country, unfortunately under Starmer and Reeves the opposite is true. Change of leadership.is now required, not a general election at this stage but if Starmer and Reeves stay in post then the May local elections will give Reform more power.  Now is the time for change and damage limitation , not after May when large number of reform local councillors will be voted in as a protest against this Government.
