Grim Up North

Hi Joey - I'm pleased to hear you are not as motivated for dead pooling as you were and hope you have found other things to fill your time that bring joy to your life without the requirement for someone to die. Best wishes, GUN.

Yeah she's really gone downhill since this photo.

I watched the first one last night just using the auto selected dubbed version - I would have gone one of the subtitle routes but didn't because of the criticisms of them although no idea if the dubbed versions also miss the subtleties. One episode in I'm enjoying it. Slow to set the scene but I'm patient enough to allow 9 parters to do that and lots of promise. My main criticism of Vigil and similar is that if I don't care about the characters then I don't care about their fate and then I'm disengaged whereas they've spent the time to let me know a main character and his reason for playing the game and I'm guessing we'll get a few more back stories in the next few episodes as the 'cast' quickly plummet to only the main characters being left.

I haven't watched it yet but will once I've got through Sex Education. The subtitles to avoid seem to be the Closed Caption ones, apparently the English subtitles are not as bad although still miss some important subtleties. Who knew there were different subtitles?

Which led me to discover this. The final book in 1952 being the best named of all.

@paddyfool last seen 12th January - think this pool has died.

Poor Willie

9 pages of activity since her death - is this a record for a solo thread?

oh no - she’s not even on my ‘Jenny Agutter’ list of famous people I don’t want to ever get ill but reading this and how it makes me feel maybe she should have been.

Just for completeness they died 21st June and got QOs in Daily Record and The Times.

love it!

If he'd been English he would have dropped covid.

My 6 months seem to be up today too. Here's my doomed 6 for the next 6 months - which ones will make it to March 2022? 1) Susie Steiner 2) Alan Igglesdon (cricketer) 3) Greg Gilbert 4) Jyrki Kasvi 5) Bob Dole 6) Terry Lubbock If I'm not allowed Terry Lubbock I'll have Gary Burgess instead please. PS If anyone wants a guaranteed hit I dropped Kat Bjelland so she's a goner!
