  1. Various posts removed and one poster temporarily suspended. This is getting out of hand now with people just chucking low grade insults around and not actually discussing anything pertaining to the subject. I'm not going to lock the thread, but I am getting the big stick out now and will kick people out who cannot argue their point without resorting to insults. If you just want to slag people off, regardless of which side of the fence they're on, you're in the wrong place. Try X instead. Thanks.
  2. REMINDER - SEE ABOVE. It's still going on. Please, stop it. I'm starting to bin off posts that carry on with the insults, no matter which side of the fence they're sitting on. There is no need for it. People have different opinions. It is fine to say " I think your opinion is wrong/a load of rubbish." - and preferably explain why you think that. It is not fine to say "I think your opinion is wrong/a load of rubbish and you are a ###@@#**## for holding or expressing such an opinion!" This isn't 'X/Twitter' or Facebook!!
  3. Dial it down a notch please, folks. Cut out the personal stuff. It’s not and never has been acceptable on TRL. Argue all you like about opinions, but knock it off with the name calling and suchlike. Thanks.
  4. Can we ALL please avoid doing things like this. The forum has a swear filter for a reason. Don't bypass it. Thanks.
  5. We don’t usually allow any kind of political stuff in here but this is worth making an exception for. But please, stick to commenting on the rugby league aspect of it only. Any other comments on Macron’s state visit belong in the politics sub forum. Thanks
  6. Marvellous! What makes it even funnier is Alexei Sayle later appeared in two episodes of Doctor Who alongside that 'tedious jerk called Colin Blake' (Colin Baker, actually). A cracking story called Revelation of the Daleks, that somewhat sadly ended on an unresolved cliffhanger because the BBC (or more specifically Michael Grade) wanted to cancel the show altogether at that point. It's funny how history repeats itself, Alexei reckoning the show went down the toilet when Peter Davison was cast, and people still saying the same every time a new actor takes on the role.
  7. I just commented on this in the Doctor Who thread.
  8. Ncuti Gatwa was also at Glastonbury this year, introducing one of the acts (Jade). But in terms of Doctor Who/Glastonbury crossovers, will anything ever top this...
  9. There is a place for political comments on TRL too, and it isn't in AOB. Everyone posting in here knows that. Stick to praising/slagging off the music in here folks. Political points belong in the political sub forum. Thanks.
  10. I'm a bit late to the party as it has been out for a while but I've just started watching series 7 of Black Mirror on Netflix. First two episodes have been very good.
  11. Someone got out of the wrong side of his glamping tent this morning, eh?
  12. I had a ticket to see the last episode in the cinema but for various reasons I couldn't go, and ended up watching it on the TV. It was a bit frenetic. I was wondering how casual viewers might be keeping up with what was happening, as even I was finding it a bit hard to follow. I laughed out loud at the two Ranis line delivered by Anita Dobson, but was disappointed that the other Rani was despatched so quickly, along with Omega. Nice to see Jodie Whittaker again, that was a pleasant surprise. I felt sad at the end. I was hoping we might see a bit more of Ncuti Gatwa. His run as the Doctor has seemed a bit rushed and disjointed with the much shorter seasons and now its over already. If the show does continue in future, I'd be surprised if the next Doctor turned out to be Billie Piper. That ending felt more of a 'leave it open to see what turns up' sort of thing. With no production schedule in place to film another series, no actor is going to sign up to play a part in a show that may never get made. And there is so much online hate directed at this show now that it is a wonder anyone would want to involve themselves in it anyway.
  13. Just binned off a load of off topic posturing that doesn't belong on a rugby league forum. Take it elsewhere, folks. If it kicks off again on here, you'll end up getting kicked off yourselves. Back on topic, please, if that's possible.
  14. I’m not sure this really belongs in here. I’ll leave it, if anyone wants to respond to the survey, but I’m locking it to further discussion. If anyone wants to discuss this person, it belongs in the other place. Thanks.
