Did Lester fancy that kid?


Their father seemed to think he did.

I'd love to feign ignorance here and all of that jazz but how the heck are you?

I ditched because I got a "Mod warning" and I don't deal with them. I make money from my words and I'm not having someone who doesn't understand them try to remove them from me - particularly in the way they tried.

Still on the Isle or back on the mainland?

Gotcha!

My issue was someone wearing their mod colours and trying to be jovial about something (Between Spanners and me which I think neither of us have ever really been anything more that hot air about) and me telling them to mind their own business and that's when it came.

Had they, under whichever guise they are as members, said the same thing it would have been taken as lightly as I'm sure it was intended. But the gestapo uniform is what got my goat, well that and their unbridled ambition to show authority - FUCK RIGHT OFF YOU MUNT!!

So yeah, over that now, thought I'd give it another try. Not seeing as many marching through General Discussion as there were before (And THANK FOR FOR FUCKING ADVERTS!!) and so I'm guessing Jim wishes to retain members as oppose to exclude them as it is in his business interests as is having exciting people like you and me on board whilst he's only got around 7k members just now.

Personally I don't give a trot, I've so many points of this world I can come visit from at the click of a button and a wealth of emails accumulated over the years that it is simply a matter of whether it is worth visiting or not.

Speaking of which, I saw that Wilson guy you were talking about before. I went to post on The Predator board and saw Houdini and stopped (For ruse reasons) but then I saw the other person who'd done it all before and that threw me. I don't even think Spanners could do that (Well, to be fair I know he couldn't) but unless it's an old ally pissing about that's a pretty obscure pick of mine.

Anyway, sorry for the wall of test. Lucifier is worth catching if you like a comical cop procedural number with a guy and a girl, The Crown is astonishing and Mr Mercedes is right up your street. All 3 recommended and I'm pretty sure at least two will be granted pass ;)

If you've any recommendations let me know :)

The Predator is a new movie from writer/director Shane Black which has its own boards. That is where I was talking about.

I was always Houdini - as best I know anways

Lucifer is a crime procedural like Castle, but based on a character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics - it's complicated but certainly worthy of watching for light entertainment with a darker undertone. It's no Preacher though!

I enjoyed the first Stranger Things enough but not enough to follow it to its second series, I don't see why a story can't be a story anymore. Maybe I'm just not down with the committees enough Dazed but I think the kids will tire of this arcing story stuff soon enough when they realise that movies do that and are great for it but less is more in something you want for comfort watching. If you miss an episode you lose the course of the plot - that's not what people used to want, and I'm sure many would like to just pick up a show mid-season and enjoy it without needing to know the exposition that for everyone to that point.

Quality writing - but heck, what do I know?

Mr. Mercedes suffers from this too, not a spoiler just letting you know there'll have to be a second season.

YouTube or similar will be the best way to tell a contained story in the future but I'm not sure who will fund that.
