Just finished series 2 of The Mayor of Kingstown. It's not quite as explosive as the first series, but it's pretty damn good all the same and it seems very much a tee-up for a third and final season which I have a hunch, will be an absolute belter. Sadly, Renner remains in physical rehab and will be for the foreseeable, but the show's producer is making all the right noises so there's hope that once the Renner is up and able, production will begin straight away. I hope so, as this is one of my favourite things on TV. Taylor Sheridan can seemingly do no wrong right now.

On that note, his second Yellowstone spin-off, 1923 is also excellent. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren take the leads and it fairly rattles along. Again, this was renewed before series 1 even finished and I'd give it a firm recommendation for anyone who enjoyed Yellowstone or the brilliant 1883 prequel.

Currently about 6 episodes in to 1923. I find these things captivating and the casting has been excellent in all three branches of the 'franchise' (if that's the right word!)

It’s a Sin on Netflix, drama set in the 80s with a group of gay friends as AIDS hit…harrowing and compelling…

In my top 5 dramas/mini-series of the last 5 years. Outstanding.

 

 

Watched it when it was aired on Ch4 a couple of years ago. Totally rocked me. Outstanding piece of work. Quite coincidentally, was watching an episode of Gogglebox the other night on E4, quite old episode, and it showed them watching the final episode and got me thinking about it. The young welsh lad who was taken advantage of by the Arsenal lad sticks in my mind as quite cruel.

NATIONAL TREASURE!

RIP.

Up there with David Attenborough in an elite group, that used to include Bobby Robson and Fred Dibnah, as national treasures.

Said to my dad earlier, a legend of the game without being in the game.

got tickets for Paul Weller at Cannock Chase in June. Only couple of miles from my gaff.

up there with Saunders, McMinn and Poom as my legends for the Rams.

The Banshees of Inisherin

Dark comedy about a guy (Colin Farrell) who's best mate suddenly stops speaking to him (Brendan Gleeson).

A strange film, although funny, is quite depressing with superb acting from both of them.

8/10

I watched this last night. The blurb doesn't do it justice. The concept sounds awful if trying to tell someone about it.

I found it brilliant.

Amusing and Saddening in equal measure. Colin Farrell and the young actor playing Dominic (Barry Keoghan) are absolutely superb and Gleeson maintains his high quality.

I recommend it.

Mark Wright/10

(It's on Disney+)

Is it on TV?

As much as Martin has a historical affinity with the club and fans, he wouldn’t add anything to the current squad and trying to infuse him into our team and style of play would be a huge negative - so thanks, but no thanks ??

really?

remember when HE was 1st choice striker in 2014/15 and got injured and we played Russell (or Bent) up front on his own and we ended up dropping to 8th in the league on the last day?

I would suggest he adds "DEPTH" to the squad. Whether Warne wants him or not is a different conversation.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard anything about Uncle Mel? 

How is his health? Is he still active in (other) business? Is he in exile?

All said and done, his cleverness backfired, but he certainly isn't in my opinion a bad human.

Bogle, Clarke, Tomori, Mount, Russell, Hughes, Keane, Butland, Vydra, Wilson and Leon Osman.

beginning to think we missed a trick by not getting him as soon as Rooney walked away.

Things to try, check to see if it works after each step.

1) Close all Safari tabs, force close the app in multi tasking, reopening.

2) Hard reboot phone, up volume, down volume, hold power button until Apple logo appears.

3) Clear Safari cache in settings.

Use iPhone and iPad myself, no issues at all, if the above does not work, thinking you may have turned on some accessibility setting maybe that's triggered needed to double press?

sorry David, not a double click, just a touch/click, then nothing, then another touch and fine. Can be a delay in between the two taps.

are you on an android on that chrome thingybob?

nope, total Apple sucker. iPhone and iPad.

Has anyone noticed on a touchscreen phone or tablet that you have to touch the link twice?

I love Tim Burgess, had the pleasure of meeting him hundreds of times and almost considering him a friend. Kind of lost touch when I binned off Twitter, but I regard him as one of the kindest but most switched on people I've ever met.

You can't have been paying much attention to Shef Utd in the last few years then... Top scorer in their final season in the Prem (20/21) and voted Player of the Season the year they initially got promoted (18/19), and remained a firm fan favourite throughout his tenure with them.

I always thought it was sympathy votes. Like "oh... bless him, he tries hard"

Personally I think Warne has a bit more about him as a motivator than Sgt Major Ostrich.

I think, should it happen, Martin could and should thrive under Warne and Warne's clear ability to motivate and inspire.

I never ever ever ever thought I'd see David McGoldrick being a star player in any team at any level. If Warne got the same peak level out of Martin, if could be amazing at this level.

I'll always think fondly of Lampard for the Leeds away 2nd leg.

Maybe it was Jody Morris all the while being the brains.

We have a decent small theatre but hardly any decent bands or comedians play in Derby. 

We need a 2-3000 seater venue. You can have offer stuff happening in the same building. Then people come into Derby fir that and spend money at bars and restaurants.

You need an attraction for other things to feed off though.

 

the Velodrome was supposed to be an option for this kinda stuff too.

not read all responses, but surely doing Middle Eastern Studies would point to an English speaking role in the Middle East?

Envoy? Assistant in the Embassy?

Think of the Ferrero Rocher!

My girlfriend had an awesome little boy called Ralph. He’s had some issues though. Had a knee replacement as a puppy. It’s made him very timid. He also scratches eyes quite a lot and we can’t work out the reason. 

This choked me. Feels properly personal and not a scripted response.

Great football man. Player, manager and pundit. RIP

where do you live @Wolfie ?
