Oh, the bitter irony.
Higher than normal then 
Luckily Mrs C_S is away this weekend and Young Adult#2 is down in the south wing somewhereā¦
Are you staying at Slowlane Mansions?
No, Cobham Towers. It may not be as salubrious as Slowlane Mansions but weāve plenty of room for the staff to swing a cat or two.

You want WHAT!
A friend was asking
You canāt spend groats any more Phil.
Criminal Record Apple + hooked us on Episode 1
It then bumbled along. It could have lost us as it tried to fill 8 episodes.
We knew something was not right and finally in Ep 7 it all comes out but still leaves a cliff hanger as we move to the finale
It has been good Peter Capaldi is superb. One week to know if it was great or too long

Masters of the Air Episode 5 is pretty grim but gripping. Nothing could give you a true depiction of the reality but well done, even touched on the morality of blanket bombing, albeit fleetingly.

So far, weāre up to episode 5 of Monsieur Spade, last one should be available from tomorrow. Really excellent series, and theyāre already hinting at a second. Itās difficult to track down in the UK, but itās available from the US link that Phil has, as long as you use a VPN. Itās definitely worth the effort of tracking it down. Great storyline, great acting and beautifully filmed, the birdās been enjoying it as much as I have. Recommended.

Am also reading the book of the same name - what has been taken for the series is just a small part.
Must have been horrifying to be in one of the crews.

The same but very different - I enjoy the John Nichol books (The Tornado Pilot shot down in Iraq)
His books were bascially built up from interviews with survivors - Lancaster told the RAF version and again- horrific what they went through.
The was a chap who lived here in North Baddesley who was a Lancaster pilot and ex-OS man too. He passed away about 3 years ago, aged 97. Lucky to have made it out of his early 20s.

āSand Jobā - Top Gear/ Grand Tour thing on Prime
Ok - a couple of laugh out loud moments but not a classic - lots of Mauritanian flags so @Map-of-Mauritania would be happy.
Clarkson deffo too old now. The others catching up.
Funny that there was a car ad at the start that you had to watch but it ended with something along the lines of āā¦so you can watch ad freeā
Happy to have ads on Prime if thatās the norm. They just need to actually improve their content which has become shockingly poor of late.

That was their last show.
And they gave it car love & cinematography along eith the scriptef gags and shit.
I found Mauritania facinating and that Islamic library & village being eaten informative
I laughed in places
A fitting farewell
As they said.
What the fuck else could they do with cats at their age.
Isnāt there a class action being taken against them in the States? For selling a āpremiumā advert-free product, then moving the financial goalposts?
