Not anymore, since I've retired I've never felt the need. I treated myself to a Tag Heuer Aquaracer analogue when I left the RAF in 2008 and wore that until 2019 when I finished. A battery replacement required the watch to be sent off to Tag to service and replace. That was £150 every 5 years or so. I couldn't be arsed doing that anymore either so it's sat in a draw ever since. I've never wanted a smart watch - a phone is enough for me.

We only managed the penultimate episode last night of 3BP as the missus was nodding off. Turns out there is a Chinese version of 3 Body Problem from last year too which I'll watch (30x 1 hour episodes though opposed to the Netflix 8 episodes - wow). I'll reads the 3 books too - if I really like a TV show based on a book I'll always go and dig out the book to read - my wife doesn't understand that at all as she thinks it's daft to read something you know what's going to happen. Me, I just like the detail a book gives that a TV show/movie can rarely provide.

Playing some new vinyl today. The 2018 remix PF press is quite spectacular:

I've just watched episode 5 of 3 Body Problem. Just wow - brilliant. If you do start watching it just accept the first 4 episodes as scene setters, even if they seem a bit weird and silly. It will make sense later on. This episodes also has one of the best scenes/effects I've ever seen, just stunning.

Started on 3 Body Problem last night. Based on a Chinese sci-fi story it's a slow build and lots of odd things going on between present day London and 1960/70s China. An interesting take on a well trodden theme. I'm really liking it so far.

Time for more Zombies (my wife's choice btw). The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live - this tells the story of Rick and Michonne. Like the Daryl Dixon spin-off this is leagues above the last series of TWD and FTWD. 

Quote from: Fishy on April 03, 2024, 08:27:46 AMYeah Discipline and Beat are pretty good Three of a perfect pair is fairly heavy going I seem to remember..

Odd that I like Three of a Perfect Pair of the best of the three.
