Yeah sorry. Didn't feel like going through 300 plus pages but maybe next time eh?

My wife is leaving me because of my obsession with The Monkees. At first I thought she was joking. Then I saw her face.

The original is ok but nothing worth shouting about. Definitely didn't warrant a remake.

An excerpt from my favourite: And she turned to the children at her sideAnd said, “Take the good and the bad times in your stride”And, “Abseil for no one.” Then she diedSeems old age killed my teenage bride

New series of Silicon Valley is knocking it out the park again. Superb stuff.

Honestly chap, it's **** ace. I take back any initial misgivings I had. It really is a solid 9 out of 10.

Yep similar here. It's my birthday weekend so I've got the next four days off. Few beers tonight then me and the good lady wife are off down to Bristol for a couple of days. Back on Sunday for Infinity War and more beer and a nice family lunch out. Then do the square root of **** all on Monday to recharge the batteries. Bliss.

Played a few more hours last night. Yeah, this is superb. Wasn't sure after the first couple of hours but it's top banana.

Yep I stand by what I've said before. Series 2 and 3 of BCS are better than series 1 and 2 of Breaking Bad. I think it'll only get better too.

I regularly do about 4 or 5 extra hours a week but I get paid for it so it doesn't bother me one iota. Although when I've had jobs in the past where no overtime is paid I'd still do a little bit here and there if it was desperately needed and helped out fellow workers. As long as it wasnt taking the piss i didn't mind. Years ago (nearly 20) I worked for a certain well known advertising agency and was clocking up nearly 60 hours a week without overtime pay (contracted 37.5 hrs) because in those days, in the industry it was considered 'the thing to do' so i naively went along with it. Safe to say it's moved on a long way since then, at least in my experience. Horrendous piss take when I look back.

Blimey, you got through that quick chap. How many hours would you say the main story takes (approx) ?

Strong opening episode for Westworld season 2.

Working correctly for me now

I think the ambiguity in the book was more 'he did a lot of ot but which bits did he actually do and what was real' whereas the film was more 'no, it was all a dream, and none of it was real'. Like you though I haven't read it for years.

It definitely wasn't in his head. I think the book explains it much better from what I recall and is far less ambiguous. **Edit** Director Mary Harron admitted that she buggered up the emphasis of the ending... Full article here

Cleared cache and cookies and still getting the same issue.

I'm a few hours in and it's beginning to click with me now after an indifferent start. Production values are off the scale and I like the interplay between Kratos and his son. The combat is a little clunky initially but I'm getting into the swing of it a bit more. I don't think it's as good as the reviews are suggesting but that might come with time.

One of my favourite hip hop albums. He's a special talent is Doom.

I find that amazing.

Nice to hear. Mine arrives in the morning.

A bit of 'War'. Good choice

Yeah, Primary school kids tend to have their parents with them (we always took our pair when they were that young) but you still get motorists who act like arseholes around schools which the lollipop folks tend to help with. We've seen some very close calls with speeding down the years. Once the kids reach secondary school and don't want ma or pa accompanying them, then I was always greatful knowing there was at least someone in place to slow down the dickheads. Can't say as I've seen any of them away from schools though. As you say that does seem a bit pointless unless it's a particularly bad accident black spot.

Schools mostly isn't it? Some very busy roads around the schools near where i live, so they (the lollipop men and women) are really worthwhile and greatly appreciated.

Another vote for The Terror. First two episodes have been excellent. A beautifully uneasy watch.

It looks that way.
