Really... Hmmm, may have to cancel said order...


I just found out that Stringer (Idris Elba) was in THIS series that I rather enjoyed in the late 90s (97/98 maybe)... It rode the wave of Jack Davenport's fame from This Life, but don't think it really took off. Shame.


Please ignore the music in the background of the vid on youtube!

haha:

Sitting opposite West in a scruffy office above a Soho pub, listening to him chat affably about his love of Chekhov and Tolstoy, it's difficult to comprehend that this is the guy you're used to seeing mooch into the DA's office in downtown Baltimore, drawling his catchphrase "What the fuck did I do?"

so, anyone watch it last night on FX?


I recorded it - partly to skip ads, but I'll also try and build up a backlog of episodes before I start. So, no spoilers please


I saw a picture in a review this morning of one of the news guys and saw it was Clark Johnson - one of the main characters in the direct predecessor to the Wire - Homicide Life in the Street. Think he directed a few of the early Wire episodes as well


And for a show on a tiny satellite channel, boy did it generate some columns in the papers at the weekend!

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
