Netflix/Amazon/Gaming and Book Recommendations

I think @Adam has recommended this book before. I read it earlier this year and would say it's one of my favourite books. It's on sale for 99p.

It's basically a look at how we have a fixed amount of time and how you deal with it. It's not as morbid as that description makes it sound!

Currently watching season 8 of Suits. So very watchable, great characters - Perfect netflix binge material!

So strange to go from goddamn everything to effing and jeffing now it's a netflix show rather than a network one!

I think it's high time we abolished the monarchy personally. Time to move on.

Will never happen brings too much money into the country from foreign tourism.

Taxes are high enough as it is will see them rise significantly if it happens

I used to think the same but how much do we pay them to make us all this money?

@richard-latimer I can't believe people care that much one way or another to be honest, lot's of media hype about something that in the grand scheme of our lives is meaningless.

To be fair I'm with you on this but because they do I think it's worth a watch. Says as much about our society as them.

I think that's the whole point of the documentary when you watch it.

I mean did you see Jeremy Clarkson's vile column? Everyone knows he's an arse but shouldn't be able to publish that s**t!!

Nope. I have banned myself from all news websites and all social media apart from an occasional scan of twitter for traders I follow. The world is full of morons and I don't need to see what they have to say or read about them. Just pees me off. Ignorance is bliss.

The most sensible thing anyone has said about the whole spectacle. I will say though this mess is the thing that got #princeofpegging trending on Twitter and for that I will always be grateful .

So obviously I know @John-Folan won't agree but watching 2nd episode of Harry and Meghan now and I honestly can't see how so many people can look at her and have such a problem..

She grew up in humble surroundings, did good things even as a kid and every single thing you see when it's not from the despicable media paints her in a decent light.

How anybody can say race has nothing to do with it I don't know.

Who's with me here??

What the hell have they done to Willow? Ruined a cracking film with an utter garbage tv show.

Richard Latimer

I just started season 4 of Gomorrah. Well worth a watch if you like your mafia drama.

Ryan

@john-folan Thats the best thing about the YouTube Algo as well, its the only one from all the social medias - it shows you things that you actually want to see but haven't seen yet.

John Folan

@ryan it is. I didn’t think it would be but I’m blasting through it. Cracking show

Ryan

Corrr that looks solid, I am about to finish season 2 of gangs of London too WOW

John Folan

You lot will love this

Richard Latimer

What in the actual f**k happened in that finale?

Even for Twin Peaks that was on another planet

Twin Peaks been on my list for ages, doubt its going to come to amazon or netflix though so will have to wait until im done with netflix and get a paramount+ sub.

Incidentally the composer who did the music, Angelo Badalamenti, passed away on the 11th. RIP. I have listened to the music today and if the show is as good as that it will be a cracker.

It is mate. Everything about it oozes class. Like I said though, the storyline isn't linear and if you don't give it 100% attention you're fucked

I dowoaded the torrent. Wicked boy that I am haha!
