Fuck off with the food picks for pitys sake.

Its 5am and I'm running into the kitchen for some brown bread with butter.

[nicnicnic]

There are lads out there (nicnicnic) that if you told them they had to do that for a game they would snap your hand off.... Golf it is one hella of drug!!

Shudder at the thought but understand perception from my posts.

any other recs out there? Am through Tiger King, Ozark Se.03, McMafia & Gangs Of London. What should be next?

You seen the Fargo's, Narcos ?

Couple in general people could have missed along the way that I think worth the watch.

I keep tipping Get Shorty. I taught was great but I seem to be on my own. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5761496/

C4's Utopia is excellent but not for everyone. Must revisit actually.

I'm impressed with someone finally posting a pic of something that went arseways. We all have a tendency to try and present a slightly instagramy version of life, and I for one welcome this new dose of realism. Still want to say GFYL

If any of you meat heads or veggie heads are making some food artwork and it doesn't turn out well. Dont throw it out . I've seen nothing yet I wont eat. I treat all food equal and will not discriminate on colour or size .

Gomorrah is one of my favourite series in recent years. Italian mafia series sent in Naples.

GAB, for something less gory, think you would like Borgen if you missed it first time round.

[ArmaniJeans]

Sky One's Brassic is good fun in a Shameless or 'Love/Hate played for laughs' kind of way.
Six 45 min eps, another six on the way this week.

[shrapnel]

le bureau des legendes is brilliant also. French spy series

[TheVelvetFog]

I really enjoyed the Hannibal TV series. Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal a big reason why

[Strewelpeter]

Definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea but I loved Patriot

Show runner Steve Conrad brought got Ben Kingsley to join many of the cast are in his new series The Perpetual grace Ltd. which I'm looking forward to getting to see soon.

I see Flutter's merger with Stars Group was made official today

[DeadParrot]

Phoenix Park fucking rammed today.

knee started getting stiff yesterday, sore last night and has now swelled like a motherfucker, cant bend/straighten it or put weight on it with a troubling line of a bruise under knee on the outer side.
hardest thing is finding a position that doesn't cause pain and explaining to previously cocooned FIL why I can't take him for a walk today.
Hoping my mutant healing factor kicks in as don't fancy A&E

Never thought I'd say this about a vegetable, but these were unbelievably good. Do you get them in Ireland - they look like below?

Reminds me of an amazing restaurant in New York. On their website their slogan is "Anybody can cook meat, leave vegetables to the professionals"

And they have a refreshing attitude for somebody that just likes food to taste amazing.

Dirt Candy doesn’t care about your politics. We aren’t saying “no” to meat, but saying “yes” to vegetables. We don’t care about your health. Our food won’t make your skin glow, it won’t make you live longer, it won’t super-charge your free radicals with antioxidants. We simply want to make vegetables as delicious as possible.

If there’s an underlying philosophy to what we do, it’s that we want people to crave vegetables the way they crave fried chicken and pizza. So every day our chefs roll up their sleeves and try to do something with vegetables no one’s ever done before. We’re on a journey into the unknown. Come with us. We promise that you’ll taste things you’ve never tasted before. You may love some of it, you may hate some of it, but we promise: it’ll be unlike anything you’ve ever tried before.

[Solksjaer!]

Awful lot of guff about the better world awaiting us on the other side of this lockdown, mostly written by immensely privileged people who are even enjoying the lockdown.
Not gonna happen, wait for the money taps to get tightened and people to realise normality isn’t coming back

Also fuck the VFI and their disingenuous whinging

More guff about the bank bailout and we bounced back relatively well. Doom mongers having the usual field day.

[DeadParrot]

Rather disconcerting crunching sound if I press on my patella.
That's normal right?

[Denny Crane]

I had to go with someone to A&E recently and it was empty.

[Tar.Aldarion]

There's also those injury clinics, seem grand.

Theres never been a better time to go to AnE, reports of empty departments all over the country since corona started

[DeadParrot]

Can't leave FIL on his own and can't drive and missus in isolation.
Perfect storm of fuckedness.
Give me a day or so and I think i'll be going to the laya clinic

Hes not your DA is he .? Get out there and sort the knee out . I had a cartlidge op years ago. Similar symptoms. In and out of Clane hospital in a day . OP was done in the morning. . Unfortunately AnE wont be able to do much imo

[Rahenyrhythm]

I know a few in here have mentioned it, but I would also like to endorse Gangs Of London as a hell of a show. The entire series feels like a great set up for several more.

Absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed it, would love to see more.

[Solksjaer!]

Thoughts ? Other than LMAO.

I think Leo and Harris played a blinder for the first few weeks of this but they started to wreck my head in the last 10 days.

Think it is the way the click bait News headlines are coming in... a couple of days ago one came in and was reporting cirrca "Harris says No Holidays for you now this year!!"

when you read into the piece it was actually Harris saying a lot of countries are going to curtail travel for pleasure until we get this under control

the other one was about a week ago, and it read like "Don't be a bold boy now or you'll get another month of being grounded in your house " Says Leo & Harris

Click bait head lines can suck a nut

The lady of the chateau came down with a bunch of keys today and goes 'I was thinking you might like to use my car'. An exceedingly generous offer, despite us not being able to drive. I think we're part of the family now!

You've changed Hitch. What did she look like?

Gangs of London.

SPOILER

Elliot = Cyrname.
Elliot came on about 2 stone since taking that punch to the solar plexus at the funeral pub scene near the start which he appeared to baulk at. He looked limited and unremarkable after taking that punch but turned it all around to be the one hell of a chaser.

[pgodkin]

lol no not at all, just they were annoying me a bit and i came to the above conclusion, the more I read the more I think both are doing as they are told by people who know more about it than them... which I like!

Anyone who says a politician decided to leave pubs closed till phase 4 or each phase to last 3 weeks is mental in my opinion

[Tar.Aldarion]

Damn this was a great read / watch.
Will take like an hour or something, dunno.

Cut the enlarged lawn for the first time this evening with somewhat mixed results. The newly-grown sides look like the Centre Court at Wimbledon, all lush and bright. The old middle is more Central Criminal Court.

Can see Reseeding v2 in my September list of jobs.

[Lao Lao]

HR sent an email around earlier saying they were thinking of doing a Zoom quiz one night this week for all the managers so we can have a few drinks and a bit of craic.

Somebody shoot me, like, right in the face from close range so there is no doubt about it.

Why not overseed it now?

[LuckyLloyd]

Have you watched the American Factory documentary? fascinating stuff when a Chinese company decides to buy an old GM factory and reopen and modernise it to create glass for the automotive sector. well worth a watch.

What a film!

[rounders123]

Cart Narcs is great craic. Watched nearly all of them now

So good isnt it, watched them all in 2 sittings. Cant wait for more. The verbal articulation is the best thing.

[Raoul Duke III]

Why not overseed it now?

Because it is now a trampoline area, hockey pitch, soccer pitch, camping ground and general zone of all-out destruction.

Put in all weather surface like rubber matting or do it on the cheap with bark chips. Lawns will cost more in the long run and waste months of time.

That sounds horrible on both counts!

On the plus side, I discovered a big crop of wild garlic.

Les miserables

Watched this last night. it's still with me today. French film which follows a small police team in a French Cité. These neighborhoods are always on the cusp of blowing up. Anything can light the powder keg, and there are always forces working to keep the fragile equilibrium, to avoid more riots. thought it was brilliant.

8.5 maybe even a 9 /10.

I'm feeling a little let down by Gangs of London cosnidering all the positive feedback it's got here. These type of TV shows are 100% up my street and was expecting something amazing!

The first few episodes weren't bad, but the end of Episode 4, and whole of Episode 5 were juts a pile of wank imo. Ep 6 was a little better, and that's where i am up to now.

It seems a little disjointed and all over the place.

Doesn't appear to be the popular opinion though.

Interwebby is a grand ol place at times. Working from home and listening to world radio stations . Sunny weather and some varied tunes blasting in my earphones .
