I am as well as well can be. I hope that you are looking after yourself and those close to you.

Yo keedy how are you doing tonight.

Once upon a time in Iraq is so grim.

It is. It's almost as though the Americans and ourselves asked at each stage "What is the dumbest thing we could do right now to make this situation worse?" and then went ahead and did it.

The amount of wrong decisions they made on every was incredible.

Once upon a time in Iraq is so grim.

Worth a watch this, thought it was really good and really sad. Binged watched the 5 episodes on I-Player.

America foreign policy leaves a lot to be desired. They got this badly wrong, not just the WMD but they just had no idea about Iraq itself.

The bit with the America Colonel who seems a very decent guy and went their with the right mindset of helping the people.
However war shows that even good people can lose it and do regrettable things.

what’s interesting also is that the majority of the Iraqis spoken to would rather have Saddam back.

Saddam himself said to his interrogators that they had no idea what they have done by removing him from power. The country will destroy itself and become a hot bed for terrorism much worse than before the war. The Americans of course completely ignored him as they knew best.

history shows us that Saddam was right.

Just finished all five episodes of once upon a time Iraq, I’ve seen just about every iraq documentary going and this is comfortably the best and most impactful one I’ve watched.

Watched first 2 episodes of Hanna. After spending a considerable amount of time cleaning up my own vomit afterwards, vowed to never watch another again. Going to finally watch succession

 

[Jimishorts]

Just watched the first two episodes of Spy on Netflix seems pretty good so far.

The only slightly off putting thing was always seeing Sacha Baron Cohen and thinking of Borat.

Especially when he runs.

Of course they do.

Alistair Cooke he of 'Letter from America' fame nailed them in one of his first broadcasts in about 1946.

Gist; American foreign policy is based on the false belief that deep down all the world really wants to be like them.
And they can't understand when the rest of the world tells them they don't...they just want to be left alone.

Not much has changed.

Anyone got a hangover series they always watch when rough? Mine’s Arrested Development.

Started and finished this over lockdown. Loved it, although seasons 1-3 were better than 4 & 5.

Onto Schitt's Creek now.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I've started watching The English Game. It's written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and charts the crossover of football from a 'gentleman's game' to a game for the working man, including the first crowd fight during a game between local rivals Blackburn and Darwen. It's typical Fellowes and concentrates on Old Etonians, Darwen and Blackburn, and also throws in the usual toff with a soft heart played by Charlotte Hope who played Myranda in Game of Thrones. Made a change to see her with her clothes on.

Prior to that I watched all three series of The Sinner with the excellent Bill Pullman

Let me know what you think when you finish it.

Finished it.
Series 1 and 2 are the best, then series 3 then 4 I wasn't so keen on, good series though and like you said previously very sad!

 

[topcrickets]

I'm watching jailbreak recently, it looks so good

 

[tommytowne]

Please dont smirk, but took a deep breath and set aside a few hours to watch the first three episodes of Breaking Bad after being prompted by many to get into it and I'll get hooked.
I will stay with it if only because I have already developed a strange fascination with Walter's wife. She is incredibly seductive especially when she gave him a five knuckle shuffle in first episode.
