Bob The Badger

I read a review the other day (can't remember what the film was now, but I love reading reviews for truly dreadful films and it scored 4.something) that said something like 'I've never reviewed anything in my life, not a film, not a restaurant and not a hotel. I didn't even have an IMDb account but had to open one just to tell people how bad this is.'
I love that level of commitment.

It's a grower.
We stoped about 2 episodes in and then again at 4 or 5. It was really only my sister badgering me, and that she got me into Gomorrah, that that made me go back.
The 2nd series delves into Paris gangs and I thought it may top out there, but when it went back to a murder enquiry in the 3rd season it was just as good.
To score 8.5 on IMDb with 88 episodes is pretty impressive. Gomorrah is 8.7 and I think that small gap is about right.

Just had a quick gander at the show's IMDB page. I'll give it a go but I thought the one and only user review to date might give you a giggle!

I know there are a few on here who highly rate Gomorrah and Suburra Blood on Rome, for you guys there is a new Sky Atlantic series Blocco 181, sounds promising, going to give it a go this week.

Under the Banner of Heaven - unsettling but very good thriller based on some fairly horrific events the not too distant history of the Mormon faith. Confirmed my instinct that any form of fundamentalism is suspect.
*Contains some quite disturbing themes.

Looks like the Derbyshire flag is on it’s own at Glastonbury 2022. No sightings of a Ram flag yet.
So here’s a few from previous years to cheer you all up whilst enjoying the music.

Really depends how much they're offering doesn't it? They're only gonna do this if they think they could get him for less than a tribunal would set

Sorry if this gibberish has been shared already, but these odds are hysterical.
I know the DET are only reporting what they see, but for ducks sake, why report such nonsense?
Qatar are more likely to win the World Cup than Cooper leave Forest to take over at Derby.
And Wales are more likely to win it than Lampard leave Everton to come.
Liam Rosenior: 4/6
Sean Dyche: 4/1
Frank Lampard: 6/1
Steve Cooper: 8/1
Steve McClaren: 10/1
John Terry: 12/1

I want to hear it all unfold and see who says what because at the moment we're all offering opinions based on very few facts.
But this is my gut reaction based upon very little is this
I was one of those who never called for Rooney's head and was fine with him being given the job.
I was also impressed with how he handled himself and galvanised the club.
However, and a lot of people won't like to hear this,  most clubs of our size would have coalesced around most managers under the same circumstances..
It's just what human beings do when faced with adversity.
They come together.
Think of the Dunkirk spirit.
Think of Ukraine.
Think Boston Strong (after the marathon bombings)
Think of We Are Derby.
The whole We are thing adopted the world over by sports clubs started with Marshall University after they lost over half of their (American) football team in a plane crash in the early 70s.
We Are Marshall became the mantra that created a tight knit community born out of adversity.
The point I'm making is from a human psychology standpoint, all Rooney had to do was to turn up and commit to the cause to create that unity.
I'm very disappointed that he's gone and I feel especially bad for the person who said 'I have a great idea, let's offer Wayne Rooney the freedom of the city', but I'm disappointed because of the players I believed he could attract.
As well also, as I did like the football the team was trying to play.
But, from what little I know, I do think him walking out now undermines the *loyalty* he's shown the club.
Staying with the club when he was under a whopper of a contract for a relatively short period of time is hardly the stuff of legend.
Real loyalty would have meant him saying 'Right, we have new owners, we can start to bring in my players, we have games to plan for and I love this club and the fans, so let's get cracking'
Instead Rooney said 'let's get packing'
Gut reaction.
Duck him.
Long term opinion.
No idea yet.

I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if it has been mentioned.
But, if public opinion had been listened to, Sir Alf before the 66 World Cup would have been sacked, as would Bobby Robson and El Tel before their tournament (s).
Ramsay got lucky with the injury to a great striker in Greaves, and then stuck to his guns
Robson got lucky twice in 86. With the injury to Brian Robson and then the sending off of Ray Wilkins forcing him to play Lineker and Beardsley together. 
And Venables wasn't even planning on taking Gascoigne until right at the last minute.
I've no clue if Southgate is the right man, but changing him now would be ridiculous.

Am I the only person who cannot see Rosenior's name and not think of this guy?
A dream team of him and CJ maybe?

I have just the man!
He's a bit dead, but other than that...

But does connection and feeling actually have value? Or does it only have value because we say it has value? And is connection and feeling derived only from the brushstrokes and texture? Show me a picture on my screen of the original Fighting Temeraire and a picture of a print and I (or anybody) won't be able to tell the difference.
With some people's lives being almost entirely online, the bumps and brush strokes that mark an original painting are now the same as a digital certificate that says this is the original "Disaster Girl" or whatever.
These things only have value there, but as we increasingly live in cyberspace, creating virtual signs of wealth and status seems inevitible and trading real world money for this virtual stock seems logical.
If you believe in all that crap anyway.
I'm still fighting against a cashless society and queuing up at the bank rather than using the ATM so I won't be along for the ride.

You have just described the whole world financial system.
