TV Series

[COYBL25]

There's an ultra black comedy on Channel Four that's been very good :

Damned.

Set in a Social Work office. Great cast inc, Alan Davies and Jo Brand.

Some of the phone calls they take from loons are superb.

@tadao @Prevenger17 @Dylan


her indoors almost gave up during eps 3 & 4: they were quite weak admittedly, the ones with the prisoners and the one with Starbuck over-agonising her choice to pass Zak.

But from ep5 to ep10 it's been all in! The one with Leoben was strong stuff. Tonight we'll probably cane ep11-13 then that's season 1 already done.

battlestar gallactica? is this a new series? the original was brilliant and i remember watching something a few years back with an asian girl in it?

It's so easy to get embroiled in it and then a few hours gave gone.
Some of the storylines were full on inc,

Spoiler: Felix Gaeta

The way he provides info to the resistance but is subsequently tainted with being a sympathiser

and that's one of many 'difficult issues' that the sseries dealt with.

i wonder if they will cover Camel Lairds in that?

My grandad was a docker back in the day, hauling ships bare handed onto shore, imagine if anyone got asked to do things like that today!

Was he called diesel - dees al do me, desal do me dad - etc a scouse joke - salt of the earth the dockers great for Liverpool's heritage and in those days multiculturalism of the people who came in to Liverpool!
The scouse language is allegedly part mainly southern irish a bit of welsh, and scottish all mixed in, and we were known as whackers before scousers came in from the norwegian dish Liverpool people adopted!
I had a bowl of scouse for my dinner and I will have some for tea

yeah mate, odd time for a liverpool history lesson but thanks

Seriously though, amazing just how much the docks have contributed towards both birkenhead and the wirral over a fair few hundred years. Even down to things like street names, a lot are connected to captains, who are connected to the slave trade, which are only connected because of the docks.

It was a world major port provided loads of jobs in its day sadly on the wrong side of our country seen it decline!
