What’s the video, @Junglejim? It says unavailable and there’s no title visible.

@junglejim

Agree.

like Lost, LOD started out well but dragged on to the point where Mercurio would dream up implausible twists or refer back to ancient plot points to keep the show going.

Taut and focused, […]

@junglejim

No worries, jj. Far more important things to worry/argue about than what’s on Apple TV

@junglejim

Fair play to you for liking it,

I gave it four episodes – three more than I usually give shows that I’m not convinced by –
and thought it was shit.

Different strokes for different folks and all that

@junglejim

Golden shower caps for all concerned no doubt

We have a cinema club at Reflexen and it has screened Calvary @Junglejim. It is an excellent film ….but not many laughs.

We had one season where the members actually complained about how many gloomy, glum […]

I’ve heard much praise for Neal Stephenson, @junglejim – what would you suggest as a route in?

@Junglejim thanks for the nudge – I plan to listen to these at the weekend when I am home alone.

@junglejim

Well, yes I do still think it is a beautiful game, despite saying from the start that I’m not a sports fan. Maybe I should have been a little more specific and said that I’m no longer as much of a […]

What was your Vespa @Junglejim , was it a 50 or a 125? Is a 50 worth having do you think?
When looking at E-bikes I was reckoning on a budget of around £1500-£2000, would that seem about right for a decent one? I […]

@Junglejim I asked a friend who has a Mexican girlfriend. Broad suggestion would be Mexico City would be safer, Guadalajara has apparently gone downhill quite a bit lately. If you have more info regarding specific […]

Just finished this at the weekend. I agree with @Junglejim above – I too found it clunky at first but ended up really enjoying it. It is only when the Horologists turn up that any real plot element emerges. I did […]

It has been my holiday read this week. My reaction is rather like that of @Junglejim. I thoroughly enjoyed it and yet I’m slightly disappointed given my admiration of the best of David Mitchell’s work. On the plu […]

Thanks @junglejim I didn’t mention it in the OP, but I read the first dozen or so pages of the ghost one, Slade House, and put it aside. I am no fan of ghost stories either and those initial pages did nothing to […]

Talking out your arse @Junglejim – she is scary because she says it how it is. I have never seen a politician less self obsessed.

@junglejim

Excellent, thanks!

I agree with you but it seemed a bit of a gaping chasm that @junglejim was entering, by just happening to mention a trio of similar heritage. It seemed a risky invitation to offend. His later posts have helped, […]

@junglejim

It’s defnitely not just you. I’m at a loss to understand much of what is said when it gets a bit technical. Like iTunes and love my classic iPod, so a bit unsettled at the moment!

Thanks @junglejim good to know I’m not alone…

Thanks for that interesting and considered response @junglejim. There are a couple of your points I think it would be interesting to expand upon.

You say that Dr Peterson is “more of a performer than a p […]
