Not sure where you can steam it now, possibly on YouTube though? Ken Burns has made some great documentary series. There was a one on Ernest Hemingway and another one on Muhammad Ali that were excellent. I’m only really into late 50s / early 60s Jazz (and even then only a little bit) but I even thought his series in the history of Jazz was well worth watching. There other ones like a series about Prohibition and the American civil war which were pretty epic. What really sets that Vietnam War one apart though is all the contemporary footage available due to the unprecedented access (not seen before or since) that journalists and filmmakers had. Absolutely superb is 100% spot on. Aye that's the one, saw his civil war one as well and I think it was him who did a shorter one about buffalo and them being almost wiped out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny what sticks. Jennifer Rush was no. 1 on my 16th birthday…. I fuckin detest that fuckin song edit: I’ve never flicked to kick in my life. Think I missed out there somehow me and my brother had a lot of Lego and meccano though… Edited May 10 by PaddockLad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why I had no interest in DT at school which I wished I had of shown more interest for being an adult. My patience with stuff like that was nil, same with art. If it didn't look right straight away I'd go in a huff with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Interviewer: Do you see yourself as having any weaknesses? HMHM: [Shakes head] Oh yes! Cause like I'm a bit of a perfectionist, actually. Yes, I am. See, for me it's got to be the best or is nothing at all. Like, things get a bit dodgy I just cannot be bothered. But here I've got good vibes about this interview thing today, mate. Seems to me that it's going pretty well, eh? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, I love the village wedding scene where the villagers start singing to help hide Peck and co from being discovered from the reform originals, almost makes me want to order a greek village meze in tribute. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 53506 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Mo is good. It's on Netflix, and it's a semi autobiographical sitcom about a Palestinian bloke who's been living in Houston since he was a kid but is still a refugee. Funny, but serious stuff happening as well.

catmag 543 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The Ballad of Wallis Island. Very British, eccentric, gorgeous scenery, funny and melancholic. Tim Key at his awkward best. Loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he actually is Irish I’ve just seen the first episode and it isn’t too bad actually. It’s a Kerry accent which is very thick and indecipherable at the best of times.

Craig 7889 Posted Tuesday at 22:26 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:26 Started watched Dept. Q on Netflix this evening. Got two episodes in and have so many questions… this will be being binged tomorrow, it’s fucking brilliant!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 46965 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago As much as I’m a “ Come the Revolution, get them up against the wall “ type of republican when it comes the royals, my Mrs will watch any old shite about them, which Channel 5 seems to be fond of. Had our tea, kids have fucked off to their various rooms , I’d tidied up the kitchen and came to sit down with Mrs. F and maybe watch a movie. Nope She’s fully , eyes glazed, deep in to a thing - Gatcombe Park , A Royal Residence. It should’ve been called Gatcombe Park, a Royal Rimjob. Various simpering cunts hoop-licking Princess Anne and her progeny in to oblivion, the worst of which was their “concern” that she “struggled” to keep the estate running.… Get fucked with a big stick. She’s the King’s fucking sister who’s toed the royal line all her life, she wouldn’t know “struggle” if it walked up her with a massive sign saying “I’m Struggling Financially” and sparked her the fuck out. I had to decamp to the kitchen. Happy fucking Saturday night lads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have left the room like you but preferred to shout bullshit every time one of those talking head quims came on. She managed the estate did she?

Monkeys Fist 46965 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I honestly think it should be classed as porn, since they’re openly licking her hoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
