I like Police Squad. [edit] 13 is a very unlucky number for those who believe in that kinda bullshit.

Niric posted:I think I missed the start of police show chat, so apologies if someone has already done the whole just watch the loving Wire already post, but it's been noticeably absent from all the pages I read. It's because we were talking shows which are more mystery of the week than serialized prestige drama. But obviously yes, The Wire is terrific and one of the few prestige dramas that is worth all the praise.

Sounds like some of the discussion when the smoking ban in pubs was introduced. Why not just have a rule that indoor atmospheric tar and particulate levels have to be below H&S recommended guidelines and smokers have to be distant from staff? Because 99% of country pubs aren't going to be able to reconfigure as a HEPA facility and Plessey were reluctant to let their cleanrooms be used as a pub after hours.

If I were a developer with free time I'd be starting work right now on a generic ordering app which small independent pubs can grab and use for free.

Fringe is excellent and crazy, John Noble is great, and I need to rewatch it soon. It did lead to my wife and me coining a TV trope of "Broyles' brother", after the character played by the excellent Lance Reddick, when we started noticing that seemingly every show we were watching featured a slightly-older-than-the-protagonists black man who was still a main character but usually an ancillary role like a chief, boss etc. Bobstar fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Jun 3, 2020 |

(Deputy of Ops in The Wire, obviously Broyles, Charon in John Wick, Christian DeVille in Corporate...) And if not, David Harewood might be available. Yeah, that's a surprisingly accurate trope!

A two metre distance would allow maybe 8 people at most to sit in my local. There's no way it would be worth the pub even paying staff to be there.

I wonder if they have tested to see if it reacts to Habeeb, an Arabic boys' name. Would likely cause problems in some households if it does. Hypothetically, I mean

I'm really looking forward to the only good pubs around here being told they can reopen but immediately going under due to not actually being able to fit enough people inside to make money, that's really my dream scenario as a lover of our grate British pubs thanks Boris, making Britain great again

Ugh, blue lives matter. When I first heard it I thought it was a variant of the stupid "colourblind" mantra of "I don't care if you're white, black, or purple!" because the idea that police are a class that need protecting was just too stupid.
