Sweep Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Back then the fuckers used to knock nails through power lines in the street and run unearthed power into their hovels. Half of them had no floorboards because they'd burned them to ward off the cold. Rough as fuck and dressed in rags Sounds like a post Brexit Britain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyHWanderer Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Started the looming tower on amazon. Enjoyed the first episode, about the rise of al qaida and bin laded in the late 90’s and the build up to 9/11 seen from the perspective of the fbi and cia and their seemingly lack of cooperation with eachother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted August 7, 2018 Members Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Mentioned 'Our Friends In The North' a page or so ago. Most of you will have seen it but I hadn't. In the 90's if the ABC down here decided not to show it you were fucked. All sorts of options now. Anyhow, much as I enjoyed it immensely and the soundtrack is fucking ace (especially a couple of UB40 tracks below) and was slightly taken aback by the youth of Daniel Craig and Christopher Ecclestone plus a variety of 'Lock, Stock' characters, we can't fucking well get the final episode (no. 9). Frustrating as all fuck! I'll console myself with giving these another listen:- Edited August 7, 2018 by bolty58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I stumbled across it after watching a bunch of urban exploration videos The last one I watched I just watched the Walk In The Rain one, used to live right next to Bridgewater Canal and did the same walk to break up many a Sunday. It's great that you can walk up the canal all the way from Salford Quays right through the city up to the village and not really encounter any of the hustle and bustle going on in the streets above. Just a pity there's a serial killer about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Saving Poundstretcher was a good watch again.
