Sheep2 I watched the first episode. It reminded me of Blake's 7, but not in a good way. Which is weird because Blake's Seven had decent writing and terrible effects, while Intergalactic had decent effects and terrible writing. It's the me setting. A bunch of criminals escaping and hijacking a ship. I don't think the so called 'writer' had watched Blake's Seven or at least had not understood it. Too many of the cast have (fake) cockney accents as well. I'm pretty certain that when we go in to space properly feral South Londoners won't be invited to join the party. If that is not the case we should abandon rocket science immediately. I thought the same thing about the special effects and writing. The similarity was more to do with the 'plot' . The main protagonist framed for a crime, the escape and hijacking of the ship... I will watch a few more episodes to see how it pans out. |

It's not that the actors aren't from / do not live in London. It's more that they all talk like salt of the earth scum, but are mostly pretty posh. Plus I find the feral Lon'on glo'al stop most unpleasant on the ear. I do not enjoy listening to people who sound like they were born in Croydon and learned to talk by watching Eastenders. That put me off the Expanse a bit, seeing Jared Price doing an awful South African accent. |

Bin has been emptied. It celebrated by catching a gust of wind and making a bold break for freedom. In the subsequent chase and retrieval, I have discovered that my 'work slippers' are not waterproof.

Watched a Fortnite streamer while I munched some falafels and salad for lunch. She was using the bow and arrow and firing into the ground to let her jump higher/further. Never seen that before. I'm sure Sheep2 does it to get into bushes quicker. |

I do not. I find the bow somewhat difficult to use.
I have killed people with a bow, but it is not my weapon of choice.

Connery's Irish accent in The Untouchables is untouchable.

Pork pie, Cheddar cheese chunks, grapes, piccalilli, salted crisps, bread and butter.
Odd, but very tasty.

It's Lahndan, mate.
I say this as a man born in Lambeth, and no, I have not mastered 'the walk'.

After singing the Lambeth walk?
I.e.
🎶Doing the Lambeth walk... Oi!

Quick game of PUBG at lunch. I arrived at a compound mid-game and whilst looting I head someone else approach on a motorbike. I creeped over to where they stopped and was about to open fire when they surprised me and ran the opposite way. So I waited patiently near the motorbike as I expected them to need it again soon and sure enough they came running back over again when I unleashed my M4 spray. Oh yeah, I fuckin' gunned him down! I had a red dot and vert grip on that bad boy. Fuck yeah.
I got killed about 10 minutes later as I misplaced the motor bike and got gunned down running to the next circle.

Hi,
Games: none
TV: The (American) Office, dont know how many Ive watched, feels like hundreds, really enjoyiong it, stayed up til 3am binging it last night, first time Ive had lol moments from anything on tv for ages.
MOVIES: 'Chaos walking', Spiderman and Rey team up to escape the baddies on an alien planet. all the mens thoughts are broadcast somehow visually and audibly outside their craniums. But Ladies thoughts are still privately inside their heads. It could have been worse. 5/10
'Godzilla vs King Kong' Waaay better than I thought it would be. Pretty satisfying cgi hand to hand monster combat. No storyline really to distract you from the big monsters. 7/10
'Without Remorse' Quite an ironic title, was terrible, huge regrets and shameful feelings after spending 2h of my life watching it. 3/10
Rain blog: Still raining and just had 10 mins of freezing hailstones, I am booked into the beergarden at 5.

I used to live in Lambeth.
Is the Lambeth Walk sort of bow-legged, with the hands clutching two imaginary braces at the top of the chest?
That's what I used to do.
