presumably you want talk about it, rather than compile a list of names mightyroar?


Series 2 is the bovril series. It was such a shift away from series one, some people never got it. It took me longer. But it might be one of the best on reflection.


The Greek scared me

Frank was a great character

McNulty annoyed the hell out of Rawls was genius

Ziggy was a prick, but a misunderstood one I think. Greek wasn't scary, his number 1 is!


I thought it was a great series, looking at a different group in society, but keeping up with the "street".


Series 3 is fab, and I know a couple of people who have said they'd stop at the end of 3 because they felt they had enough closure. I'm very glad I watched series 4, as it is my favourite, and I can't wait to wrap it all up with series 5!!!

What I find really bizarre about season 2 is that when it aired on BET (Black Entertainment Television), the network felt it necessary to edit out most of the waterside / dockers / Valchek / white people storylines, apparently because their core audience (black viewers) would not be interested in it enough to watch. How patronising to their viewers is that?

I love it, of course. ziggy a fool but he had his moments. quite gloriously tragic at the end. also liked his cock on screen moment early on in the series.


i think the greek looks like he's wearing a disguise of some sort. it's a combination or his nose and moustache.

i kept thinking it would go all sci fi or something and he'd have a face off moment and underneath it would be stringer bell being even more evil.


also, the greek's sidekick, man who acts with his hat and his fags, kind of looks like he's about to break into modern dance....like in the kids from fame when suddenly someone does a pirouette aross the street. whenever he sits on a park bench- which is quite often, i imagine he's going to leap up and use it as some sort of dance accessory (the bench) and kind of flip his fat cap down his arm in dancer stylee.


Loved it when Mcnulty put on his fake (ho ho) british accent to go to the brothel. in stitches. Also loved his crap sailing knots.


O and bunk being so drunk in the morning he was dry retching into the bin. Fab


Also loved the episode when both the police had to tell their partners they were back on the job and it was kind of like they were having dinner as a foursome, but actually they were just both in trouble with their ladeez.


cant wait for the next season, should be on it's way to me as I speak.

Never watched any Deadwood, but series 1 is on it's way via Lovefilm, so will probably plough through all of that before Wire 5 arrives.


Going back to Horsebox's comment, how did what they did show make any sense, it's all tied in! It's as if they think their target audience only want to see black people popping caps in each other's asses! :-S I disservice to their own audience methinks.

how many times have you guys all watched it? I love the Wire. I love it love it love it (although I'm not sure how much more I can take after series 4: I'm emotionally battered). but I don't think I can quote scenes in this way. is this like the way boys know the entire script to Withnail and I and the producers of rare 60s b-sides and, you know, the offside rule?

    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
