All on iPlayer now.....Jackie Daytona

Just finished rewatching the first series as at first watch I didn't really get the hype , but , sat and worked my way through it and I've come to the conclusion that it really is a great show.
Noticed a lot more going on this time and upgrade it to almost sopranos.
I also reread the book Homicide : A Year On The Killing Streets by David Simon. Some of the stories and characters from the book make it into The Wire and some of the Detectives from the book play parts in The Wire , definitely worth a read.

It's funny how tv can be so divisive. You'll never get to see the chimp attempting to rescue the satellite.
Maybe it's just me , but , the chimp and the drill.....I laughed at that bit like I haven't laughed in a few months.

Rescue and Restore is amazing , watching the guy sandblasting old rusty toys is very soothing for some reason.
Just One More Watch - Scottish guy in Australia who focuses mainly on affordable watches and some high specced Chinese bargains.
Also recently been watching some Bill Hader era Saturday Night Live
Vinny Vedecci , Steffon and as Lindsay Buckingham in the What Up With That sketches are all worth a look.

Just watched this and absolutely loved it.
Will need to look out for the other recommended Taika Waititi on here.
What We Do In The Shadows - film first , then TV series.

Haven't seen a thread for this ?
Season two now started and season one on iPlayer.
I'm a fan of the film and was unsure if it would be worth a watch , but , the new cast are very good.

'Just one more watch' channel on youtube did a vid on it, works quite well.
eta i like your 'AP' G-Shock, would go for the all black version.
I like the stealth one but just couldn't read the time on it at all , getting old is shite

That's fucking gorgeous.
I was lucky there , was dropping my son off at Manchester airport and went for a wander round the Trafford centre and saw this for £210.

Eighth piece added to the collection, G-Shock steel.
Thank you.
Just seen a conversion kit on Ali express to make these from the normal dw5600s , not my thing , but a cheap way to do that watch. Do like the original one though

I've been wanting to pick it up on Blu-Ray for a while, but you can get a sense of how popular it's been by the price it sells for
Incidentally...and this will only be of interest to tech geeks, so look away now...the UK Blu-Ray bizarrely only provides a 1080i picture, whereas the rest of Europe and America gets full 1080p for their Blu-Ray. I was going to splurge on Amazon's £24.99 Steelbook Edition until I discovered that it's the same.
Basically, the picture quality isn't as good on the UK release. The American Blu-Ray is region locked so, if you fancy picking it up and you're going to be in Europe sometime soon, wait and grab a copy while you're over there. And buy me a copy of their steelbook too, please - I'm good for the money
A lot of DVD and Blu-ray players have input codes to make them region free , worth googling your model.

Star Wars 9, 7/10. Decent enough but there's a kiss between two known characters which I felt is totally out of place.
Forgot about Luke and Leia winching in A New Hope did you?

That last episode was amazing. I've been absolutely blown away by how good this has been. As a fan of the graphic novel and someone who gave up with Lost after it disappeared up it's own arse, I was concerned at how this would go.
It's been almost perfect.
The perfect thing to do now is just leave it as a one off.

The series seems to have irked some 'Muricans going by the IMDb scores. They don't seem to like the fact that some white Americans are being portrayed as bad Nazis . The favourite seems to be WOKEMEN.
I'm going to have to rewatch the first episode as acc to IMDbrief there are quite a few Easter eggs I missed. Quite enjoyed it though.

The Looming Tower : Al Qaeda's Road To 9/11 by Lawrence Wright
Really interesting book about the rise of radical islamic terrorism and the philosophy behind it which tracks the birth of Al Qaeda from an idea to a well financed and trained outfit.
Also tracks the path of the people charged with stopping them , mainly the CIA and the FBI and the rivalry that stopped them sharing information which could have helped them avoid 9/11 .
If anyone has seen the TV series of the same name , this is worth a look.

Got this Kickstarter watch from Amazon warehouse deals for £25 cos the packaging was damages although it arrived complete and new with tags
not a new Kickstarter but looks like remaining stock? On their website the watch looks really good on a leather strap.

I would just put it on a nato.
Thank you.Never really in this thread but my son loves all things communist, potential birthday gift there. Where did you order this..?
Got it on eBay from a seller called Enerjystore. 100% feedback and about £30 less than the Amazon sellers. My Mrs had a welcome back to eBay voucher so got it for £42 delivered.
Check out meranom.com which is vostoks online shop...check the faces and types then look at eBay.

Does it count as a cover if the original singer is a guest? I like this version better than the original in any case.

This should be the response to these clowns and the scumbags in George Square. Smashed back into whatever hole they crawled from , either by the police or the general public .
