How the fuck does "Ripper Street" only turn up once, ONCE mind you, on the search here? How has this not got more love? It's one of the bestest TV serieses ever. EVER.

I am so disappointed in you.

It's decent, but best ever?
Did you ever see Copper? Quite similar in era and tone but set in New York.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Not the, but one of.

We gave up on Copper after half an episode. Hell on Wheels was a much better late 19th Century American drama thingy.

And it's not been cancelled, unlike copper.

I've just finished the first season of Fargo. Now that is some good TV. Oh yeah? Yeah.

Took some cough medicine at half seven this morning. Woke up 2 hours later. That stuff is potent!

Are you sure it wasn't Grandpa's special cough medicine?

I wouldn't really consider 'Lydia the Tattooed Lady' the 'forgotten' Marx Brothers' song. It's one of the few highlights of the otherwise mediocore 'At the Circus', along with the exchanges between Groucho and Margaret Dumont.

After all...

That was on a Muppets album I had as a kid. I've listened to it recently and it really is a brilliant album!

I've never seen the Muppet version: thanks for that.

That is the same situation I was in before I moved. Technically I was just inside the Nottingham City Council border, so was meant to use their recycling centre, which was about 10 miles away. Despite the Hucknall one run by Ashfield District Council being round the corner.

I just used to go to the Hucknall one anyway - no one ever checked my address.

Something very wrong, clearly. Um. .

And I am very ill at present. Ill Enough to already be in bed. Actually, why am I justifying myself to you of all people? Where were you at the ticket to ride world championships. People came from literally miles away.

I travelled at very least one mile.

I might start my own nursery. Seems to a low overhead way of printing cash.

MrsPaz is seriously considering becoming a childminder. I think the £800 monthly childcare bill has something to do with it.

She can come work for me. I am looking for a warehouse. I think we pay above 600.

Perhaps keep a look out for a cattery or kennels that's gone bust.

I know a few childminders and they barely break even. I'd only recommend doing it if you can afford to live on your income alone.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:01

You could take in a load of charming, lovable cockney street urchins, teach them a few life skills, and be a kind of father figure for them. Never have to buy MrsA jewellery again, either.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Feb 10, 2015 12:14

We pay just under £800 a month too.

I don't like to think about it.

Fuck me, I just wrote a new topic on Rogue Legacy, started typing for thirty minutes and then my computer turned itself off. You'll never know what I think about that then.

Where's the 'things I have learnt' thread? I've just found out the difference between a pelican and a puffin crossing.

I probably shouldn't be so pleased with the purchase of another tweed jacket as I am. Will premiere it in Leicester I suppose.

Just upgraded my HTC Windows 8 Phone to 8.1.....

it now chirps when I put the phone on my passport... how bizzare.

It's detecting the RFID tag in your passport.

You can read the data from the passport out onto your phone, it includes the actual picture which is quite cool.

Well on Android there's a load of apps that do it, like this one:

You might find a Windows Mobile equivalent in the marketplace.
