‘Marching Powder’ by Rusty Young is a real eye opener. True story of a Englishman banged up in San Pedro prison after getting double crossed by Customs officials trying to smuggle 5kgs of coke out of La Paz airport in Bolivia.

Just finished Series 3 of ‘Ozark’ which just gets better and better, and yeah ‘Better Call Saul’ is top drawer.

Gangs of London, farfetched garbage, wouldn't bother iiwy.

I watched that, bloke gets shot at least 26 times and still lobs a hand grenade over a balcony, another one fires about 200 rounds from his sub machine gun without changing his magazine. It's full of silly shit but at the same time the story line is very very watchable.

i guess ill put it here too, i watched that sunderland documentary on netflix... pasoti standard of fans

I’ve got one left to watch. Farfetched is an understatement. London is deffo the place to perform a massacre because no matter how many are slaughtered, the Met police are never anywhere to be seen.

Some of the fight scenes were like watching an episode of Hong Kong Phuey.

Loads of the shooting scenes are laughable to anybody with any firearms training. What cracks me up is that when for instance Rambo is hemmed in on the waterfall by the virus spreaders, outmanned and outgunned by a hundred to one he just jumps up carrying a HMG and proceeds to take them all out whilst stood stock still. Every bullet from Sly is a killer but the hundred soldiers all fire wide. If I'd been there with my rifle the film wouldn't have lasted long though.

was thinking about giving it a watch but I think I will give it a swerve now

Was gunna give the new Capone film with Tom Hardy
A watch!....Anybody seen it ???

The Charlie Brooker Antiviral wipe on BBC two was hilarious, flooded by Philemena Cunk who I believe Charlie Brooker writes for, the latter program was the 2019 one but still funny.

There's a nice little half hour program on this week about 7.30 on Beeb two (I think) called "made in the Pacific. If you like arts and crafts, culture and people then you'll love it. I saw the one of the Aborigne making a didgeridoo and last night watched the Maori guy carving wooden statues.
Other than that there is fook all on.

Just finished ‘Mr Nice’. Autobiography of Howard Marks. Great read. What a life he had.

Went to an evening with Howard Marks at Drewsteighton hall years back I think his daughter lives out that way. A real gentleman he has a presence about him that few people have. It is a great read and Tbf to the man if I smoked as much weed as he did Id be too paranoid to go outside let alone carry out scams under the eye of the Met, DEA, CIA, Interpol.....

Saw him at the pavilions, must've been 15 years ago, funny guy who certainly lived a life.

And yes a very good book, the film is decent too.
