  1. What is your set up? Couple of years ago, I was in a hi-fi shop in Stratford-upon-Avon, and they were playing Rumours on vinyl. It sounded amazing. I did a quick tot up of the turntable, amp and speakers they were using. Just under £13,000. 😞
  2. You prefer 3 to the first two. I'm the other way round. Where are you actually up to? Or have you now finished all of it?
  3. It's all opinions I know, but 3 is way below 1 and 2. 😀. I'm on 4, and even though that's improved on 3, still not much enthusiasm to crack on and watch the next episode.
  4. Looking for help with this. Been with Virgin for ages. Want to switch to sky. Now, I thought I'd be contacting sky, organize package etc, then they'd come and install dish, Q box etc, and somehow switch the broadband to them. But......all the deals they seem to have are something called sky stream . Delivered next day, plug and play etc. That means I'd still be on virgin broadband? Is the sky Q box obsolete these days?? Does the stream puck thing work ok? Has anyone switched BOTH broadband and TV from virgin to sky recently, and if so, how do you actually go about it? I'm out of contract with virgin if that's of any relevance.
  5. Brentford v Liverpool. That Conor Bradley has really made that number 84 shirt his own this season.
  6. I've watched the first three episodes of second season of Kin I've no issues with dialogue, having lived in Ireland for 20 years Bren has certainly livened it up 😀
  7. I'm about half way through season 4 of Love/Hate. Thanks to @Bob The Badger for the recommendation! Think I already said this, but.... absolutely loved seasons one and two. Couldn't fault it. Really didn't like season three. A few reasons. I hated the storyline with Siobhan. Wish the writing just hadn't gone that way. Hated what happens with Tommy. Hated the fact that they even brought 'the Ra' into the story, and none of those characters worked for me. Didn't like the way the show just seemed to forget about their private life. For example, I'm pretty sure in the first two episodes of season 3, Nidge doesn't go home. He doesn't call home. Trish doesn't even get mentioned. If you joined the show at that point, you wouldn't know he had a family. Anyway.......season four has improved on three, but I'm not sure any of it from here, is going to match 1 and 2.
  8. I only joined it just as OT started 🙃
  9. That's interesting. I'm part way through season 3, and think it's a huge drop in quality from 1 and 2. It's like it's written by a different team or something. I'm not at the stage where I'd bail out of it. I just think it's a big drop off .
  10. Second season of Kin on BBC iPlayer on 13th February I think. For the few of us who haven't already seen it
  11. I enjoyed Kin, but I've only seen the first season. It tried too hard to be mean and moody sort of thing. The conversations were slow, with all those pauses. I've never met anyone who speaks like that. I'm half way through season two of Love/Hate, and for me, it's way better than Kin. More natural, better pacing, better characters etc.
  12. I've just finished Kin last night. Well, the first season anyway. What service are you watching Love/Hate on?
  13. I've not had any kind of disc player for well over 15 years. I've never seen a blu ray disc, never mind a UHD one. Given how cheap the second hand discs are in charity shops etc, I'm half tempted to buy a UHD player , and build up a collection again 🤔
  14. Or , if you've got something that still plays discs, you could probably find a box set for next to nothing in a CEX type shop.
  15. They haven't won at home since October. Imagine this forum if that was our form.
  16. Great Francis Lee goal for the Derby connection. Plus, BBG was often like this.
  17. If the two clubs have just been charged with this, then how long before anything is decided on, punishment wise? Are we talking weeks, months, or years??
  18. It was discussed this afternoon on R 5 .
  19. All the people saying they only really have prime for the free next day delivery..... As someone who has probably bought two items in total from Amazon, what on earth is it that you're ordering so often, and why is it so important to have it delivered the next day?
  20. Indeed. Current flood warning map for England.
  21. I felt exactly the same, and only got around to watching it about two weeks ago. After the first episode, I was wondering how they'd manage to get 22 of the most annoying people you could imagine, all on the same show. Didn't like episode one, but thought they'd probably wasted most of that explaining who they were, so gave episode 2 a go. After that, loved it 😀, and its really not the sort of thing I like. I like the way they tweak the rules as it goes on. I couldn't care less about the silly tasks they do each day. If I watch the next series, I'll probably just fast forward all that!
  22. Yes, entertainment. I've no problem with shows or films that are like the finale episodes of Slow Horses. They are what they are, and done well, it's great entertainment. I'd just prefer this show, not to go in that direction. It just seems out of sync with the other episodes.
  23. Re Slow Horses. I've watched all 3 series. I like the idea of it, and I like the overall feel of it, but ... .. . For me, it's totally ruined by the finale of each season. This descends into something that looks like a cross between a Bruce Willis film , or The A team. It's out of character with the rest of the show. The shoot out in the latest one, was so ridiculous, it didn't just ruin the last episode. They actually started that in the previous one !They must have run out of ideas or script. I also think the story lines are ridiculous, and the acting is not great either. Apart from Oldman of course, who is brilliant. The only thing that makes it watchable for me. Even though , left to my own devices, I probably wouldn't have bothered after the first series ( Mrs likes it). I'll watch series 4 no doubt. But pretty confident they'll ruin the end of that too.
