Nah, the good lady wife, both my sisters and a few female friends all absolutely love him. The missus bought me Murder Ballads in the mid nineties as I’d mentioned to her that I loved Where the Wild Roses Grow. One listen to O’Malley’s Bar and the rest as they say is history. I knew I’d married her for a reason

It's been pretty much perfection. I didn't even mind them making quite a large change in the second episode.

I've given up after that last episode. It's a pity, but I'll just adopt my S.Darko approach and pretend it doesn't exist.

Glad I got my tickets when I did as I believe their entire UK tour sold out in a matter of days.

I think it's safe to say that I'll never, ever play this game.

Off to see Half Man Half Biscuit (again) tonight at one of my favourite venues (The Robin 2). Also got Amyl and the Sniffers, Sacred Reich, Dinosaur Pile Up and Torche lined up for the next month or so. Strong end to the year indeed.

This fella isn't too bad either...

Yeah I recommended this earlier in the thread. It's terrific

I'm impressed that she managed to get on the pitch.

You need to widen your range.

My journey home is going to be fun tonight... (I work at Fort Dunlop)

Agree but the first ep of the new season still made me laugh. I was particularly fond of the Dinesh/Gilfoyle AI section

That's the first part of my double bill tonight. Terrific movie. Then something I've never seen but I'm looking forward to immensely: I'll have a think mate - there are soooooooo many though

I hear it's this guys favourite time of the year...

I've only put 3-4 hours into this so far but it's already GOTY material. The world building, story and characters are all beautifully done.

This looks incredibly promising...

I'm not too keen on first listen to be honest. It's a little too much on the glitchy side for my taste but I'll give it a few more goes before I make my mind up. The best track so far is the one with Shabazz Palaces.

Crippled Black Phoenix - Great Escape

Battles - Juice B Crypts

Now that would have been an interesting casting choice...

Have to say after the decent opening episode I found myself losing interest in this weeks. A few things for me: 1. I'm not engaged by any of the characters as I don't find any of them particularly likeable. 2. The references to anything related to the original Watchmen are painfully shoehorned in. 3. Jeremy Irons just doesn't come across well as Ozmandias. Apart from having a look of him, his characteristics are completely at odds with the Veidt from the graphic novel. The less said about that recreation of the Dr.Manhatten origin the better. So yeah. Not a great episode and I do wonder if it's ever going to really be that good.
