All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!

The 14" is a treat....

Watching the near field ( 1 meter ) series in the foreground on the 55" while the dynamic desktop is showing rain failing on the screen in the background. Very nice having the power to handle the various high def streams

Hard work for tasty sea food 5 Seasons and I'm enjoying tho the accents can be a challenge
Liking these reality shows - nice way to spend quiet evenings - partner dog sitting at dottor-in-laws
Good production values too.

I suddenly realised Epstein was Gatsby, unacknowledged by a fading generation obsessed with age

Wow - really good…the main chracter is a real cop relating his life including undercover and some tales are hair raising
certainly one of the best true crime series I’ve seen.

Lots of derring-do - engaging as I binged it big time tho not yet done.

Big production, dark hero, bloody, some naked ladies and a VERY diversity accommodating cast. :pop:

Just finished Robin Hood and very enjoyable..there bloody well better be another season. They are winding this up into much larger tale ...think of the beginning of The Vikings and what it turned into.
Hope for this one to do as well.

The production values for the sound were outstanding. Worth the listen on a high end system.
