Its the arse end of nowhere

The Chair Company is profoundly funny and Profoundly silly. Tim Robinson has created a very simple premise for HBO and made it genius. Top comedy.

Landman is in itself daft as a brush but as entertainment goes it is bloke's TV in a nutshell. Billy Bob Thornton is very funny in this and definitely carries the show but my quest to get Gay week going seems to come to a crushing halt every time i see his character's daughter. Actress. Michelle Randolph. Good lord. I guess I am just as shallow as the rest of Mankind. Must try harder.... Anyway, wifey likes the show too so clearly it is made for the masses so i don't know what I am talking about. Shameless entertainment.

Chicago: Easily Entertained.

She's very attractive, but Ali Larter is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace our screens.

My favourite ever documentary series

I am a huge history buff and I was late to the party with this one but it has absolutely captivated me. As shit as things are now, it turns out we shouldn't have lived past 1983, so maybe I shouldn't stress so much. I believe that some of you mongs may have mentioned this pearl but I missed it. Soz.

I think this is massive evidence that growing up with the internet would have been the worst idea ever. If us kids has known we would be basket cases like the current generation.

Brilliant, and scary as fuck. It's an utter miracle we are still here.... Give it time..

Chicago: Enjoying each breath.

I keep meaning to get around to The Man Who Saved the World which is the documentary about Stanislav Petrov. So I assume he’s (or at least his actions are) mentioned in that series.

I remember living in West Germany and spending most of the early 80s in abject fear of nuclear annihilation. Didn’t help when I was getting something out of the cellar and my Dad remarked “this is where we’ll go when the Russians invade.”
BFBS was stopped from showing Threads at the last minute. Which I was really glad of as, even years later, it shat me up massively.

Anyway, technically we’re even more at risk now. Sleep tight.

I’ve found Netflix documentary series to be a bit hit and miss but I might give this a go. I enjoyed Deutschland 83, if this is your bag.

Each episode charts the time between the end of the second world war and now. It really is tremendous and yes I share your skepticism of Netflix Documentaries but this is right on the money. They do indeed include Stanislav Petrov in episode 5 or 6. It is extremely eye opening.

Alien. You seem to be as well traveled as me. Although you ended up in Florida you poor sod. No wonder you have a bad back.

Anyway, this is so good I think it should be shown in schools but what the hell do I know...

Chicago: Buying sandbags..
