I know I'm like a Keogh lover on this one in that I think I am the only one who sees it. Anyway, in addition to my previous rants and aware that there is something a bit wrong with getting so obsessed on this I just wanted to highlight just how poor Line of Duty writing is this season.
- So you are a senior policeman, living in a shoddy hotel. Someone gives you £50k in cash in a brown envelope marked 'Personal' (in itself - more corny than a tin of corned beef). What would you do with that money? Well, if you are the senior policeman apparently you just leave it out on your bedside table for days and hope that the minimum wage maid doesn't take a peek. Really?
- You are a senior policeman investigating an undercover criminal gang who have killed at least two police officers. You know that there is a senior corrupt police official working with them but you have no clue how. Without any knowledge at all what do you do? Turn up at their hideout and pretend to be that officer. Really?
- You are a crack surveillance unit monitoring a criminal gang in their hideout, one that can set up in the office opposite at the drop of a hat. Just recently you let your prime suspect escape in a car park because you didn't know there was an additional exit. What do you do? Well, without spoiling it too much, the bad guys escaped via the back door. Really?
- You are looking for a suspect in an assault of the wife of a police officer, the officer is from Northern Ireland with history in policing there. She says the accoster had a strong Northern Irish accent. So you pin all your hopes on the fact that someone lived in Belfast till they were ten and make him your only suspect based on that. Really?
As Jimmy Cricket would have said (also in an Irish accent that would have made him AC-12s prime suspect), there's more, but let's leave it at that.
In general, so poor....

I think I've seen more line of duty through watching Gogglebox than directly......?

Oh they have, they all went after Hilton, then Hargreaves now Hastings. It was like something in the earlier series where they all went after someone because he had a golf tee planted on him and they were looking for someone called The Caddy. It's just a bit naive - a lot of the sets look like they were banged together on a three day lease as well. Sorry, I'm not completely down on it (even if I doing a good impression of sounding like) but I totally agree with your point that the Beeb have hyped the boots off what was an OK series to try to make it look like Citizen Kane.

Bet the bloody Ambassador sent it you, the schweinhunt pigdog!

Already had it, you're out....

love the descriptive verse !! false leg pink !!
took me right back to the glorious 70s !!!

They were, in glorous false leg pink.
Archie Gemmill used to pop into Jordan and Fitch in Littleover village and park his outside, only problem was it was a blue one with his name on the side that he got as part of signing for Brum. I remember Gerry Daly (strangely with Billy Hughes in the passenger seat) just about getting his bricked in as he drove it to the Baseball Ground after he'd signed for Coventry. That one was sky blue of course.

Remember that Reading team, they won their first thirteen games with Trevor Senior banging them in for fun. Of course, we also got promoted that season - I had a peek at the league table and both Cardiff and Wolves got relegated to the old Division Four that season. Just shows how it comes and goes in football.

Bloody alphabet committee have done it again - they know that they will make a bit more money if they hang the carrot for a while. Plus the WBC know that Fury will win the rematch and that risks them losing control of those American pay per views.
I guess it's been like this since Jack Johnson chased Tommy Burns all the way around the world for his shot but it just feels like we've totally lost the spirit of lineal champions.
Wilder should fight Whyte next, try and get him clattered early and use that as a message to his audience that he is better than AJ.

Please talk to someone about how you are feeling.

Yup, a solid six out of ten and felt like he had taken everything else he had ever done (particularly that film Ghost Town) and put it in a blender. The practical joke clips were strange - if my idea of showing affection was to throw a glass of cold water over my wife while she was asleep I don't think I would have to worry about her making to the grave before me. It just felt rather rushed and frayed around the edges - the bit with the sex worket / prostitute seemed like they just thought 'wouldn't it be funny to pay a hooker to do the washing up' and then the whole storyline got built around that premise. Similarly, 'wouldn't it be funny if your postman was called Pat?'. It's a series of one line jokes padded out into a bearable waste of time but little more than that.

If we assume that there are 7.5 million children in the UK (60 million population, average life expectancy 80 and anyone between 5-15 considered a child) then the number of 2,500 is not even worth thinking about. But, for those, some do know - I've never been there (all man, all beef, all meat and two veg) but I do read examples where people are utterly tortured by feeling trapped in the wrong body. I guess the statistic to consider is for what I understand are 'detransitioners' - those who take the change and then regret it, normally because they realise they are cis-gender (effectively truly stuck in the middle). Those who truly got it wrong is incredibly rare - I guess a large part of that comes from the fact that if you are motivated enough to have your rooster* cut off you probably took some time to think about it.
* - other sexual organs are available

Businessmen on planes, particularly short haul, who race to passport control like their life depends on it. So utterly important to society, they need to barge past anything living or otherwise for fear that the world might miss thirty seconds of their brilliance.
Honorary mention to the bloke at Birmingham last week - he simply say on a bench at passport control, logged into the free wi-fi and caught up on whatever he needed to do while he waited for the queue to die down. Lateral thinking - respect to that.

Someone once explained it to me as the internet equivalent of laughing at your own jokes

Nobody, and I mean nobody, wrote stories of unrequited love like Pete Shelley. His three minutes anthems are like lines through my life. Saw them as recently as last summer, they were still as truly brilliant as ever. You'll be missed.

Feel for Carl as I'm not sure where he goes from here. He's got serious heart but Warrington was a force of nature tonight and a more than worthy winner. Another cracking fight in a vintage year for British boxing.
