Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:See if I was going to court I'd want 100% solicitors. Lawyers are only good for crazy USAnian law. A solicitor is a lawyer, but of a specific type. The only reason we refer to them as solicitors rather than lawyers is to specify between them and barristers, who are also lawyers.

Anyone whose personal injury claim has for some insane reason gone to Crown Court.

Spot-on style parody though.

It got to me. It got to me that the maker falls into the same traps and offers no alternative. If you wish to parody something, you cannot just be the thing.

Is that Jamie Theakston in that new Activia advert? Because if it is, i think he's been redubbed with someone elses voice.

Yeah, the whole thing with the girl was just to get Luther to the eastern european snitch. I love how matter of fact he is about dealing with criminals. He really would have helped Ian if he hadn't freaked out about the maid.

If you have an odd obsession with bloody thirsty dictators or just enjoy history this over an hour long look at Stalin during the war is up until Friday. And yeah, that is music from The Dark Knight playing in the opening. I know, right?

Toss in the Queen Vic exploding again and maybe a kid getting crushed in the rubble and you've got a great Eastenders Christmas Special. Well, not a great one, just a pretty normal one I guess.

Zorba the Greek posted:Dunno if anyone still watches Waterloo Road but this episode is getting me all kindsa angry. What's getting you angry? For me it was a tie between the incredibly trite pregnancy plot, the student elections inexplicably being based on national parties (the election was last year, who needs to be relevant?) or the fact that a kid was making huge amounts of money and facing years in jail for carrying what looked like 3 spliffs worth of weed. It's a shockingly bad show. Remember a few years back where they had an episode with a school shooting complete with a spilt-red-paint-on-shirt fake out?

I like the show but the stupid pregnancy storyling and the student elections just bugged the hell out of me. And that stupid conservative woman who I want to kick in the oval office.

I watched this because I read about it in the paper when it was on last week and I really enjoyed it. Whoever the presenter is does a good job bringing the voices of Stalin, Churchill et al. to life, it has some nicely haunting bits about Russian peasants, and it does not have David Starkey.

I'm curious at the fate of his secretary whos wife was casually executed with the other prisoners in Moscow. Beria got his rear end executed eventually for those who wish to know.

I'm meeting Johnny Ball next week. I'm well excited about it. He's coming to our uni (UCLan) to do some event here, science for kids, and as the A/V guy I'm doing some filming for it and maybe get to interview him a bit. Apparently he's lovely, but bonkers.

I met him years ago when I was a kid, he came to our school and did a Q&A session with our class. We all got to chat with him and he was awesome. I hear he's still great but has fallen in with the 'global warming is a lie' brigade. Also thanks to everyone in the thread who raved about The Shadow Line. I ended up watching 5 episodes back-to-back last night on iPlayer. Gripping stuff.
