And you should probably lay off the buckie - its the type of stuff to make you take a rock to your car again :-)

From Wikipedia

Quote:

The beverage has entered the popular lexicon with nicknames such as "Wreck the Hoose Juice", "Commotion Lotion", "Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel","Mrs. Brown", "Buckie Baracas", "Coatbridge Table Wine", and a bottle of "what the hell are you looking at?" It has also earned the unofficial slogan, "Buckfast: gets you fucked fast". The drink's prominence within the "Buckfast/Buckie Triangle" – an area east of Glasgow between Airdrie, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld – has raised concern. In addition, the glass bottle has been blamed for contributing to litter and providing drunkards with a weapon

It was fun though, so I shall plough on with it tonight whilst getting fucked up on Buckfast.

I had not read the comics and found parts of S1 confusing but I enjoyed it , however if you do stick through it what i've seen of S2 so far is *amazing*

We gave up part way through episode 3 of the first season. It was comic book violence and stuff, but just a bit rubbs.

Don't listen to this Hearthly. Preacher is the best thing on TV!

Is blood drive available from civilian channels? A quick look on just watch reveals I can buy it from Microsoft, which is as likely as me buying a blow job at Alton Towers.

Is barley wine the new trendy?

Speaking as someone who's actually tasted it before I would say yes; you absolutely should not drink it.

I've had some excellent barley wines. Buckfast is not an excellent barley wine.

Or, indeed, a barley wine of any kind.

This new "Archer" TV show is pretty awesome! I've just watched the first series. Frankly I'm surprised that no one here has mentioned it before - it seems like that sort of thing people here would enjoy.

Also: Possibly the highest score in the Craster scale.

MrsA not terribly impressed with Blood Drive because fuckhead

Finally got round to watching Arrested Development. It's... really very funny.

I still don't get the usage of the Ron Howard narrator voice by the Bezzies though.

MrsA not terribly impressed with Blood Drive because fuckhead

Marvel's The Defenders follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal - to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.

I expect I'm going to be irritated by The Defenders.

Marvel's standard plot seems to be "Team forms. Team struggles to work together as a team. Team fragments and bad things happen. Team have epiphany and learn to work together as a super happy team. Team wins"

He's also just such a wank superhero. Sometimes he can punch things really hard, but only sometimes.

Well there's no point punching stuff when there's a lot of whining to do about everything. I like how the end just set him up for a whole second season of EVEN MOAR WHINING.

Daredevil S1 was good, Daredevil S2 was arse

The first season of Preacher does have lots of good moments, but as a whole it's a mess. Second season has been fantastic throughout though.

And that aside Hearthly I think it's very much up your alley in general. At least watch until episodes 6 as the fight with the seraphim at the motel is just incredible stuff.

I got mugged once behind the police station in Perth, one of the muggers grabbed a tenner from my pocket and brandished it shouting "fuck aye! That's a bottle o Bucky!" Then one of the other neds took it off him and gave it back to me for the reason that "he's a skater and They're gid cunts" anyway this seemed to cause some kind of internal unrest within the group and long story short: I lost a tenner. I don't drink buckfast; that way madness lies.

I've just ended up listening to Spotify as loud as my headphones will go, no violence at all. There has been some tactical reorganisation of the playlist, but no heads smashed in or anything. Not sure how well I'll sleep yet but that's what benzos are for, if needs be. I guess it's a situational thing. Overall, would have Bucky again.
