TV Series

If Clarkson’s involved the perspective you get will be from a very acute / rightwing bordering fascist / racist / antiEurope angle.

The bloke’s a twat, don’t be fooled by his nonsense. I live in a rural community, many of my closest neighbours are farmers & retired farmers and the red tape issues they’ve suffered in recent years are caused by Brexit and the consequent slashing of the subsidies that they need to farm profitably and without causing wholesale damage to the environment.

PS. If you really want to rely on Clarkson for you view of the world then I recommend that you get to understand his mindset by reading and believing Mein Kampf.

My in-laws are farmers, all their community voted brexit they hated all the red tape and restrictions that went with it!

Haha you should do stand up kinky.

I bet these invented in-laws of yours loved the sudden disappearance of all the environmental farming subsidies that the EU provided to them as well eh?

The farmers here in Shropshire are so happy about it that they’re laughing all the way to the bank - to take out bank loans at ridiculous interest rates to try to stay afloat.

Joking aside, I can understand that some farmers were fooled into believing the lies about ‘good times ahead with Brexit‘ but I don’t think that there are many farmers stupid enough to be happy with the outcome of subsidies disappearing, our largest export market being made so difficult to trade with that it isn’t cost effective, the collapse of our economy and the interest rates consequentially going through the roof.

PS. I know that you’re on the wind up and I don’t believe your bollox about farmers (or anyone else in business) thinking that ‘red tape’ has reduced with our loss of European membership.
Are you so dim as to not understand that the whole point of the single market was the ability to trade across many borders without any restrictions whatsoever?
We can’t even export to northern Ireland with restrictions nowadays - don’t you ever read the papers?
The huge lorry queues on the approaches to our ports and the new lorry park where Kent used to be is tribute to the massive amount of ‘red tape’ that we inflicted upon ourselves by voting to leave the single market.
 
Just started watching a series called Lockwood and Co.
Never heard of it, just found it whilst searching.
It's set in a sort of alternative world and is a bit of a cross between Ghost busters and Supernatural.
 
Late to the party but just started watching Reacher with the guy who looks like BJ Blaskowicz from Wolfenstein

enjoying it so far
 
Watching a Korean show on netflix called the glory about a women who was brutally tortured as a kid by a bunch of rich kids at school and offered no protection from adults who has plotted to get revenge on them as adults. Very good so far and part 2 is on its way in March. deserves a lot more attention than its getting (unless I completely missed it all) much better than most of the trash that tops the netflix most watched list.
 
Just finished 1883 and must say I thought it was excellent. A western series seen through the eyes of an 18 year old girl. If there was one thing I would have to say about it is, it’s 1883, the writers have done thorough research on the subject with many historical references however, why did they allow all the characters to have Hollywood teeth? You would imagine in 1883, their teeth wouldn’t have been in the greatest condition. I know from Peter Jackson’s digitalisation of WWI, They Shall Not Grow Old, that showed the soldiers teeth were in poor condition. I thought it was so noticeable in 1883 and maybe put guards over the actors own teeth or whatever they do to show their teeth are poor, it didn’t detract anything from the series though and I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this. Think it's worth having the original audio and English subtitles option too. It seemed dead shit dubbed.

Mentioned about the ‘teeth’ in a previous post, I found it quite funny, but still, brilliant tv.
Not too keen on the ‘1923’ though, I’ve found it cliche’d to fuck when it comes to depicting the yanks and the English, them, all action, cool, tough guy heroes, us, chinless, snivelling, clueless cowards, oh, with bad teeth ;-), poor and lazy from Sheridan because everything else he’s written in this saga has been brilliant.
