I got the impression Despatches were trying to balance the books after the hatchet job they did on Ken. It was all rehashes of press releases put out by the Labour, Lib Dem and Green parties on the London Assembly. Hardly indepth political journalism.
five minutes in heaven - shows on bbc2 sunday night 2100hrs. its a drama, set in my home town of lurgan and based on real events regarding the shooting of a young catholic by loyalists. stars liam neeson and east dulwich,s favourite thesp james nesbitt. it has won several awards and should be worth looking out for.
Ladygooner, whenever I watch the Wire I have to turn the sound right up - there have been a couple of scenes that I understood not one word of, even on thrice repeating - but believe me it gets really good, it does, it gets sooooo good. Give it one more try - with the sound turned up REALLY LOUD

Quite so - but having it loud helps you at least work out what they're saying, even if you have no clue what it means.


Ahhhhhh, the Wire...

From season one, probably already shown on BBC


ok, the language is slang-heavy, but this scene where some drug-dealers discussing their problems, switches to an analogy with chess is just brilliant - times x 10 when you follow the different arcs of the 3 characters in subsequent episdodes

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
