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

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
