Sad the local store is closing down, was the first time I went there.

The reason we went there is because we got a catalogue.

When we got there half of the store was packed up.

You'd be like a pig in shit in Bolton town centre, Chief.

Why?

Edited it:

Ah I thought you were having a go at me!!!


The DVDs and Cds there today were 50% off, but other than the Caillou dvds there was nothing else worth buying

Quite a few cds, the usual best ofs.
Plus a $5 Beastie Boys cd and AC/DC's Black Ice for about $7 (half of $12.99)

Good heavens no, man.

Means you'd be very happy. Our town is now awash with low-priced shops.

Sherlock... didn't see any of the last series, but have watched the first two this time round.

I like what they're trying to do, but for me it's overwritten in places and stupid in others.

Without knowing it was the same writers, I said to my mate, who now refuses to watch it with me because I spoil it, that it was too much like that Dr Who rubbish that I can't stand.

Enjoyed the dominatrix in the first one though.

I knew instantly how he cracked that safe combination too!

In fairness to thebish, TD, I was working off a (quite possibly wrong) memory that you dismissed the last series on the basis it was 'modern' without watching it. .

It was never anything to do with it being "modern" Pru, and condemning something without even watching it would be a bit extreme. You surely recall my reasons for not liking it personally: the speech bubbles, thinking aloud and yes, the mobile with street navigator etc. I could hardly do that without watching a couple of episodes.

As I already stated films and TV have benefitted greatly from evolving technology, very greatly indeed. Had they just called it "Sherlock Jones " I could better have seen the point.

Anyway, as I like Morse and Lewis and even watch Midsomer Murders occasionally, I'll be dismissed by some as no-account critic anyway, so no bother

[Prufrock]

Rings a bell now TD, my apologies. Weren't the 'classic' Rathbone ones set later?

Crayons, I get what you mean about the writers, you can absolutely tell it's the same people. As for the safe combination, well, you would!

Well I don't watch Doctor Who because I'm dead inside and find that sort of thing to be pointless nonsense, so I can't really claim to notice similarities. Just saying that there were times in these first two episodes that I've felt a bit like that about Sherlock too.

Without doubt periods in Holmes films were played about with Pru, some dealing with wartime etc. My first introduction to Holmes was by book and not film as the first one came out in the year I was born and cowboys and Indians, pirates, Flash Gordon and Robin Hood etc took priority for a few years. Basil Rathbone was the classic Holmes, but much later Jeremy Brett did a decent job on TV. I started reading a lot quite early and joined the library to devour anything I could get my hands on: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ryder Haggard, Robert Louis Stephenson, G.K Chestrton etc etc. Thing is, when I was a young kid my grandma still had gas lighting in her house and the street lamps were gaslit for most of my primary schooldays, so we didn't pay too much attention to time periods as our steet wasn't that much different from Whitechapel etc and Moriarty and co were waiting around every corner after dark.

No doubt, sometime in the future you too may well complain when they do an "Airlock Holmes" version set in outer space.

[Gooner Girl]

Went to a shop called Chickenfeed, it's closing down.

GG will sort you out.

She knows a lad who does home deliveries, so to speak.

Not to Australia (or wherever it is 2399 is from!)

Ah the joys of young reading. There's a spin off thread to this one in there! Isaac Asimov for me. 8 year old me couldn't get enough of it. Devoured the Famous Five, more so the Secret Seven (don't know why, I just got bought more) and tens and tens of Blyton collections of short stories, Thirteen O'Clock, Mr Icy Cold, moved on to Asimov, I'd read my dad's Reader's Digest bound collections, any old book of my mum's bookshelf, collections of stories of stupid things, I vaguely remember one had a kangaroo in a car on the front about a smuggling operation gone wrong... Happy times!

My JB Hifi order has been shipped!

That was bloody quick!

I was expecting months to go by, then get told that the dvds I really wanted were no longer avaliable!

I thought the first one was excellent until the last four minutes. The ending was just stupid.

Second was a lot messier. Still had bits of goodness in it but just felt really hackneyed and drawn out.

And yes, Lara Pulver. Oh my.

Going to go to bed watching American Dad
