Wolfie

If Carlsberg (🤢) did Saturdays? 

Exeter 2-1 Bolton

I have just finished every series of Shetland. Good storylines and acting.
Got a Nordic Noir feel to it at times. The last 2 series storylines suggest it may br near its endgame though.
 

The reviews of One Day are following a pattern. I must be more in touch with my feminine side than I thought 😊

Thanks, I'm really overdue a re-watch of it. For me, some of Mel Brooks' films fall a bit flat but this one is a classic.

It's not quite as divided in the book as it is in the film or series. The book is a stonking read btw, sort of a book you plough through by the pool on holiday. 
Just finished Alice & Jack and enjoyed it a lot. The same point is present there though, hard to see how such a strong bond built between them when they spend the first two thirds of the series finding reasons to hate each other. Ulitmately, it feels like they took every rom com and threw them into a blender - you find yourself going "ah, that's from The Notebook, that's from The Holiday, that's from One Day" but it's a jolly watch for a few hours.

Well done, I thought you were going to start talking about the bit with the werewolf ripping out both their throats - that would have spoiled it for everyone.

Now you see I think that’s why it works. For me, it was a bit Brontë-like, with the conventionally attractive guy who’s had loads of lookalike girlfriends being seduced by the witty, more grounded lady. 
I won’t say more so as not to spoil it for anyone but I really liked it and thought the performances were great.
 

4 episodes left of One Day and me & Mrs Wolfie are enjoying it. We'll probably finish it tonight.
...that is to say that I'm enjoying it now I've mostly managed to suspend my disbelief that the two of them would have ever got together right at the beginning, they're just so different in every possible way you can think of.
I can't remember if that was the case in the book (read it donkeys years ago) and haven't seen the film.
 

Re Blazing Saddles, if anyone wants to watch it, it's in iPlayer for another week or two.

Blazing Saddles.
Released 50 years ago this month, this film is, in my opinion, one of the best comedy films of all time. A Mel Brooks masterpiece. Every time it shoots, it scores.

He is actually turning into Santa isn't he!?

This is descending into politics, but the suggestion was that the SNP were far more interested in causing issues for Labour than getting their motion through - ask yourself which party is the greatest threat to SNP seats at the next election? - and then ask yourself why Starmer was so set on obstructiong their plan (whether that involved applying pressure to the Speaker or not)? The slaughter in Palestine was very much secondary to the domestic politics of the opposition parties on the day.....

Happy clapper and the usual people liking your post. Wake up and smell the coffee all of you

I enjoyed it too when it first came out. Think it got a bit of an unfair rap from the critics.

Charlton? 19th in the league and 21 points off the playoffs. That Charlton?

Sometime in life you have to take the opportunities that come your way. If I was Dajaune I'd be trying to get back to Derby and get in the matchday squad.
When he was sent out on loan we had an in form Collins and the prospect of signing another striker before the end of the Jan window, which would've left him with less opportunity and just some minutes in the u21s. However, things have panned out differently, Collins out for a while, our other strikers all injured, we've just signed Gayle up as emergency cover, but there's space for a plan B striker in the squad.
Yes Barks and Sibley might do a job there, but they aren't specialist strikers. Having Gayle as the main threat and Dajaune as his back-up (also learning some tips from the former PL striker) is much more beneficial to us and him, in my opinion.
