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.

Yes @desperate-dan all my own work, I’ve got a feel for these things.

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.

Has anyone watched the bbc documentary about Michelle mone. The up cupping entrepreneur to when it went tit’s up. It’s worth a view.

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.

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…

Is anyone else being plagued by adverts on the Nest ?

Watching Dept Q on Netflix just now as I remember the original Danish series being very good.Seems like the storyline is similar but set in Edinburgh rather than Copenhagen and the humour is hi-viz.Centres round a very rude and arrogant English cop(don’t suppose you ever came across one of those @hunnybunny?) living in Scotland.Only 1/2 hour into…[Read more]

Can’t say I have @desperate-dan though the name did trigger off a long forgotten childhood memory.You might find this hard to believe but I was quite cheeky as a nipper.Anyway there was an older boy who used to visit our neighbourhood called Dougie Taws and I used to shout “Doug the Thug!” whenever I saw him(from a distance of course).However one…[Read more]

My Canadian Wordle chum Trader Kate sent me a link to a song by Canadian 1980s band Doug and the Slugs. Ever come across them @brianN? For band names, they are right up there, not so sure about the music.
