Last ep of LOOFFAAAAAH tonight

Of course you want to be Luther. Everyone wants to be Luther. Look at him, all tall and complicated and overcoaty, lurking in the shadows between right and wrong with his hands in his pockets. Luther is the best. He solves the best murders and his arch enemy is Pam Ferris from The Darling Buds Of May. It's beyond me why anyone wouldn't want to be Luther. However, now that the second series is coming to an end, television has provided you with enough information to learn exactly how to become him yourself. Here's the five-step plan.

1. Wake up in the morning and try to shoot yourself in the head
Whatever your current breakfast routine is, stop. It's no good. Coffee? You wimp. Porridge? Only happy people eat porridge, and you're not happy. You're Luther. That's why every morning without fail, you should plonk yourself down on your tatty old settee, load a single bullet in your dad's old revolver, spin the chamber, hold the gun to your temple and pull the trigger. Don't worry, you'll never actually shoot yourself – but, still, rather that than watch Daybreak, eh?

2. Only befriend the sexy psychopaths
In your line of work, you'll encounter all kinds of murderous lunatics. Some will wear Mr Punch masks, others will be satanists who like to daub blood across the walls of their victims' homes, or possibly taxi drivers with some sort of erectile dysfunction. It would cross all manner of professional and ethical boundaries for you to befriend any of them. That's why you should only limit these friendships to attractive female murderers who keep trying it on with you. That way you'll be just like Ross and Rachel from Friends, if Rachel was a scenery-chewing serial killer and Ross was a suicidal policeman who used to be in The Wire.

3. Always think the exact opposite to your colleagues
It's important to remember that you're the only one who knows anything. Say, for example, a murderer has bought several vats of volatile chemicals and a schoolbus. The obvious explanation would be that he wants to blow up a school. But no. You're Luther, and you ambiently muttered the word "absence" a couple of times while looking at picture of him earlier in the episode. Because of this, you'll somehow deduce that he actually wants to dissolve some schoolkids in an acid bath instead. And you'll be right. You're Luther. None of those other qualified police idiots are Luther. Remember that.

4. Always say people's names instead of saying hello
Call it an affectation if you like, but Luther insists on greeting people – whether on the phone or in person – with their name, rather than a simple, more traditional form of greeting. This is all part of his quirky charm. Chances are that when you do you'll either come off like an over-familiar recruitment consultant or a gigantic sleazeball – they are the only other types who say people's names a lot – but that's of little concern. In your mind, you'll know that you're being Luther. That's all that matters.

5. Break some rules
Sometimes, you need to take the law into your own hands. Maybe you'll do this by kidnapping a teenage prostitute or by blackmailing a witness. Maybe you'll even round up a posse of your closest friends and murder the man who killed your wife. But don't feel you have to leap in this deep right from the beginning. Why not start off small, maybe by pinching the office stapler or blaming the woman who sits next to you for leaving the fridge open? You can always work your way up to cold-blooded revenge murders. Even Luther had to start somewhere.

I shall miss it

[Lofthouse Lower]

Loved it.

Totally crackers but great fun.

Went back to the closing down Book Megacomplex and got another Steve Coogan DVD: Hamlet 2.
Sadly the West Coast Premiers Eagles dvd in which they beat the Swans in the Grand Final by a point was gone.

I got a Skate dvd and a season 1 dvd of:
Chandon Pictures; I reckon it will be like Extras, without the stars or the greatness.


Some Doctor who dvds are on sale at JB; incl. the new.
I want to go out and spend a high $16 on Last years Episode 1-3 dvd.


Tonight hopefully I'll watch some of the replay of Reds - Cardinals.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Hamlet 2 is shite

[2399]

Yes it will be.
I'll try to save up and get I'm Alan Partridge from the BBC.

But I will enjoy owning Hamlet 2 because it has Amy Poehler,
who is the Main character of Parks & Recreation

There is a new show starting on Watch tomorrow night, which is surprising as it's usually full of Traffic Cops repeats.

It's called Dynamo - Magician Impossible, I've been waiting for this show to appear for a while as I've been a long time follower of Dynamo.

For those who don't know who he is, check out some videos:

Bloody love Traffic Cops

Magic eh......again - when will the TV folk learn that there's just not the audience for it

[keveh]

I love all of those 'camera inside a police car or on a helmet' shows, they are addictive. They are that good that I can put up with Jamie Theakstons voice for an hour!

RE: Magic, it comes in waves. David Blaine was first, then he just went bat shit insane. Derren Brown was next, then he started doing bigger and bigger things that were just rubbish.

What I like about Dynamo is that he's still doing the street magic, the kind of stuff that people enjoyed when Blaine was first around. Hopefully Dynamo can keep on doing that and not get carried away like the others have done.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Got it Sky+ set, so will give it a chance.

Agree about Blaine etc

Just watched The Wobblies - documentary from the 1980s about the magnificently militant Industrial Workers of the World, the Anarchist-inclined US trade union that was influential in the early 1900s.

They sure fought the class war with venom on both sides in those days.

Having a union day, brothers and sisters... Watched Made in Dagenham this evening. A heart on sleeve but in the right place movie. We enjoyed!

Saw that in the cinema on one of our 'last dates before we never go out again' evenings just before i gave birth to the twins. We enjoyed too!

I watched a programme about sextuplets today. Always makes me feel grateful i only have twins when i watch these multiple birth programmes!

I've read on a rls site that it's awful, but I want it anyway. (it's a stand up comedy dvd)



1:44pm (local time 10:45) watching Mars Attacks on channel Go
Not watching a Cleveland Indians - NY Yankees replay

I was a bit worried at the mention of Made in Dagenham, then I figgered you'd probably still need subtitles to understand the Southern Poofs.

Don't need help understanding them ... Might need it to keep up with them though...
