I did use to clean the windows  of a fish factory inside and out.That was traumatic.

Sorry about the fish factory reference that was a red herring.That said you lot really are clueless so would you like one?Unless our glowing reviews of Dept Q have persuaded others to give it a go this is probably just for you Dan.There is a clue within it’s episodes that’s all I’m saying.

Hey does anyone remember a cheesy 70’s Brit Cop show…[Read more]

Used my senior bus pass for the first time today. Even had a senior moment using it upside down so it didn’t work. Maniac bus driver, a bit white knuckle. If they don’t care about the 20mph speed limit, why should any of us?

What happens in a fish factory? Is there something we should know? Can it lead to long term trauma in cleaning windows?

You fired her?  You didn’t want to share the screen wiper with her because that’s the best bit of the job.

Yes, characters are all brilliant, superb acting, tight  script, good pacing. I needed something after the absolute s***e that was most of Dr Who.  BBC story was headlined “Ncuti Gatwas renegerates as Billie Piper”. Then the first line of th…[Read more]

She enjoyed the process much more than I do @hunnybunny (low bar I must admit)and worked in a fish factory for a year so that’s not it.

Sure Joe Root will be thrilled with your match synopsis Bunny.Think The Guardian are looking for a cricket correspondent.

Yes @desperate-dan Dept Q proving to be a gem in Netflix crown.Worked out who was behind…[Read more]

Getting a bit nervous @hunnybunny, Wordle streak is at 990.

Up to the beginning of episode 5 of DeptQ @brianN. Best thing I’ve seen for years. Watch out for the running car parking gag, cracks me up every time.

On the flip side, up to episode 22 of House and it’s STILL bloody Season 1.

Miss June, on the North Wales coast. Ruined quarry buildings in the background.

Is that your joke @ixan57? If so it’s a very good one.

But I am overdosing on Scottish accents at the moment with Dept Q. Into episode 3 and it’s top class. A great running gag about the lead cop’s very bad car parking. But it is very dark.

My Canadian contact sent links for two very successful Canadian bands she was pretty sure I wouldn’t have heard of. One was the mighty Doug and the Slugs, the other was April Wine (a bad a name as the other band’s is good). She prompted me to send an equivalent band/song back so I sent this. A band I saw live back in 1980 but seem to have been…[Read more]

I thought it might be the historical case unfolding. But it was done so well it was easy to miss. Some brilliant dark humour.

Yes surprise timey wimey ending.Think I’m all in.Matthew is Goode isn’t he?

Great line you’d appreciate @ixan57.Kid on bus tells the cop he found his grandad dead…”It was the Tennent’s and crisps that got him.”

Not reached the end yet Dan.

Adverts yes, particularly bad recently. Can’t remember a single one though.

Ha ha @brianN I am about 30 mins ahead of you in Dept Q. Agree very promising. Keep thinking it’s Ben Wishaw, no bad thing. Shocking end to episode 1…
