True Detective. S4
A cross between The Thing and Scandi Noir. Really good.
I assume you saw what movies were on the shelf at TSALAL?
No! I'll have to re-view.

Boy Swallows Universe
Started off,even up to Ep5 of 7, really good. Brilliant even.
A couple of brothers from broken family living on the fringes ... OK kind of in the midst of ... drug culture in working class Brissy in the mid 80s, complete with cop corruption.
Funny, sad, scary, challenging, all the feels. Very 'Boy' Iike.
Apparently book upon which it was based was written by a bloke brought up in that sub-culture (parents arrested for dealing heroin etc).
Really enjoying the story and trying to work out how it will all tie back and deal with the baddies.
But it didn’t.
Whole story fell off a cliff in the final two episodes. Ep6 lost that innocence and joy of the first 5, and then Ep7 just got silly.
Won't recommend against it as the first 5 eps were enjoyable and watchable on their own. And the ending in itself was ok if it had nothing to do with the start.
OK but ultimately disappointing.

Nearly all the way through "Six Nations: Full Contact".
Quite enjoying it actually. Nice to get the behind the scenes stuff. Especially from Crowley the crusty old bastard.
The different approaches of each team, particularly the romance that the French side apply, is what I'm most interested in.

Crowley looked about 50 when he played and looked like he was running into the wind. You’d be grumpy too

I’ve just seen the first episode and I found it enjoyable too. The anecdotal theory that you have to be super arrogant to be a good fly half was borne out by Finn Russell. It also came across that the tensions between him and Toony are still simmering.

Only 8 more world rugby player of the year to get Finn, and you're right up there

Maybe up in the Norf, but the two best AB 10s of the modern era, DC and AC, weren't really super arrogant at all.

No mate, it’s worldwide, just not 100%. For every Jonny Wilkinson there is always a Carlos Spencer 😀

Carlos Spencer
You've done it again. Being really good doesn't automatically make you a piston wristed gibbon.
-
Well, I didn’t say he was a piston wristed gibbon, just implied he was an arrogant guy, as per the stereotype. But yes, a very good player, freakishly skilled. IMO, would have been a long lived AB great if he’d had less of that streak in him.

Now you really have jumped the shark, or you're imagining a world without Mehrtens and more importantly, another average player called Dan.

You know Wilkinson can come across as arrogant to those not bathed in white?
