Quote from: dom on August 29, 2023, 01:56:52 PMWhat was her defence?   Must admit I presumed she was guilty as sin!

Think her main defence was .. it wasn't me

Ok I'm not won over to the idea that she might be innocent just yet

Took a while to make my 4th guess 5- 10 mins, but once I came up with a word I was convinced it was right. Was surprised when the final tile didn't turn green! At least I got it on the next guess this time!

Finished Painkiller - In hindsight I think Dopesick covered the story better but Painkiller was excellent as well.  What a fecking awful family the Sacklers were/are.  How they are not all in prison amazes me.

Unfortunate but got there in the end

Flying through Painkiller. This has already been done very recently with Michael Keaton in Dopesick, but I can't get enough of this story. Worst excesses of corporate greed.

Poor play by not including the letters I had - twice!

Watched Marriage a BBC four parter from last year with Sean Bean and Nicola Walker. Watched all episodes over a couple of nights. Understated yet thought provoking

Quote from: Slim on August 23, 2023, 07:46:44 PMWell I didn't think he'd last long, but taking out six other passengers and three crew - that's unfortunate.

I think a number of other Wagner members were in the plane too - bit of a blunt tool though and the crew point still stands

On episode 3 of season 3 of Only Murders in the Building.

Funny and entertaining.

Martin Short is brilliant. Meryl Streep too

Agreed ,. Shout out for We Hold On tho..

Yes, good tune

I'll put that on now - can't remember it at all!

I can, don't go near it! One exception to that rule - Far Cry

Anytime. Happy to oblige!

Just read this piece written by Orwell.  He had planned to use it as a preface to Animal Farm but didn't in the end.  It was a response to the continual rejection he was getting by publishers for the seminal piece.  What a brilliant mind!  Fiercely independent and desperate for the truth.

It really resonates with the current day too.
