In the Black Horse in tonight's episode - in 1974.I'm working my way through Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads - virtually a documentary about life in mid-70s England, outside the Home Counties.
You flash bastard!Interestingly I was freelancing at sea that year for £16.00 per day. Believe it or not, that was mega-money at the time. Downside was it was a Liberian registered ship that was ... shall we say ... a bit iffy in terms of safety. Did 8 months on her but I'm still here ....

Have you read the final book, book number 9, that just came out a week or two ago? I'm halfway through that currently, good stuff.Watched the first episode of what they're saying will be the last series of 'The Expanse' on Amazon Prime. I read all the books after watching the first series. (I did the same with Game of Thrones some years ago now, the later series of that actually went beyond the books but with the approval of George RR Martin.) 'The Expanse' is really quite good for TV SciFi and is more about the storylines and the characters than the effects ... (which are quite good.)
I can't binge it as they're releasing one episode at a time. If I croak just before last episode, there's going to be some serious shit going down just outside the Pearly Gates.
I kind of prefer to read the books first if I'm honest, though, because otherwise you're stuck with the versions of the characters that appeared on TV whereas I like to do my own minds-eye casting, plus your reading will be coloured by how it played out on-screen. Like I say, I prefer what was in my head to what the show did.The theory with books is, as far as I can see: see the film/TV/whatever, then read the book. You get so much more.
Isn't that a very Netflix thing... I swear they cancel everything that I love....Cancelling shows that are very popular isn't that new. They cancelled 'Firefly' despite its popularity. The wrap up movie (Serenity) was good, but there was so much more potential in the series. Now I hear Disney are going to reboot it !!! (Effing joke or what ?)
