RE: Wot I am watching now - MrBater - 07-17-2025
Just finished series 2 of Fubar, utterly enjoyable and great fun. Arnie is brilliant in it

Mad Men is on the list for when we've finished that.
Mad Men is very good. Takes a bit to get into it but the characters are so good.
Trying to watch 1923 currently, it's growing on me but ( up to episode4 so far), I'm struggling with the brutality of the Indian school.
Yep, as with all those long-form dramas that seems to be the way. Had it recommended to me by someone who put it up there with the Sopranos and The Wire, so I can't really put it off after that.

I have just been informed that Mrs OF has booked us a table at the pub in July
Some people are complaining that prices have jumped, £24 for a steak pie and veg. Clarkson replied it's the price of beef, I looked it up and he's right it's probably 35% up on last year. Others said it was a really good meal and well worth it, I await your review
Tbh I expected his prices to be higher given the pubs location and 'fame'.
Just back from Clarkson's "The Farmer's Dog" pub. A beautiful evening to drive through the Cotswolds to Burford. The pub was busy but not overcrowded. The food was good, not cheap, but good quality and the staff serving were excellent. The restaurant setting on the outside decking with fantastic views is classically English. Can't say I am mad about his Hawkstone lager which is a bit gassy, but overall a great way to spend a beautiful summer evening. The pub provides 150 jobs for local people and all of the food is from local farmers.
For those of you whose hatred of Clarkson's exaggerated petrolhead character, prevents you from watching Clarkson's Farm, get over yourself for an hour and take a look. You might be surprised. You'll learn a lot about how tough it is to be a farmer.

Sounds great, I hope I can make it in late summer. I'm glad you had a good experience.

Except he's not really a farmer. Well only for the TV series. He openly stated he bought the farm as a tax loophole and doesn't like any attempt to close that.

watching him covered in afterbirth from spending all night in a lambing shed seems a good tax dodge to me. I must speak to my accountant about it.

That's a wrap on House. 177 episodes. All in all, extremely good. Lawrie is fantastic. Not one I'd recommend as a binge, as the basic premise of each episode is pretty formulaic, but well worth anyone's time if you just watch a couple of episodes a week.
They also ended it well, which can be rare in these long running shows.
RE: Wot I am watching now - richbaggie - 07-30-2025
Just finished Ballard. If you like Bosch, it's a must. Maggie Q superbly cast as Renee Ballard. A fair few faces from the Bosch series pop up. I love all the Micheal Connelly books and Amazon Prime do him proud with their adaptations. I think Ballard my fave one yet.
