I’ve not been following what’s going on! Why drop Lomax? Lots of form or disciplinary?

Yeah I’d just edited to that…. I did think about deleting it but hey my wife makes me look like an idiot most of the time so why not show it myself

Full time 82-4 according to WW Facebook page. In sad we couldn’t play a focused and fit Salford. This isn’t good for anyone. edited because I’ve realised that was the reserves and in a wally! in fairness I’ve just come in from close shopping with my 11yo daughter and I’m kind of whacked by how much I’ve just spent. Hope the first team match is closer

Sadly I think Zak fits in a similar category to Hock (although he’s more talented). Everytime he’s on to something good he’ll press the self destruct button. in a post Terry Newton world clubs do have a duty of care to their players to help them right theirselves, because let’s face it they knew who they were signing from the get go. while I know from incidents in the company I work for, had it been me, I’d have been let go from my job. With Leigh, though I don’t know their squad, they probably don’t have the depth to get rid of him. Talent doesn’t excuse crimes and we’ve seen it time and time again where a player gets sacked for off the field incidents then get picked up by a lower profile club. In this instance that’s clearly not happening, but I think at the very least I’d like to see him being given some community works in his role as a punishment.

Ok I’m way behind on this one… I’ve just started watching the series Hannibal. If you aren’t bothered by -really- disturbing images and sequences, it’s brilliant! i never thought Mikkeson would live up to Hopkins’ portrayal in Silence of the Lambs, and while I wouldn’t say he’s better… I don’t think I’d say he’s worse either.

Actress Mira Furlan, from Babylon 5 and Lost. I met her albeit briefly at the Babylon 5 convention in Blackpool and she was utterly charming and lovely!

There was a great disturbance in the force!

Ok we’re a bit odd in our house and watch Bake Off. Can’t believe people have complained about the opening. Anyway if you missed it Matt Lucas does a fantastic Boris Johnson.

Just seen that Sam McBratney has died. Parents in recent years will know him as the author of Guess How Much I Love You! To the moon and back!

We've started watched Misfits on Netflix (though originally on channel 4). Its exactly what you'd expect with the words "channel 4 decide to do a series about people getting super powers, but they've all got asbo's as well" Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton in GoT) plays a good role and frankly, if they ever reboot Blakes 7 he gets my vote to play Avon. The first few episodes, are a bit full on and I'm glad they calmed down some of the characters a bit otherwise I doubt I'd have stayed with it, but when it hits its stride its a lot of fun.

I’ve got to be honest i wouldn’t have been bothered if I’d stopped watching. I needed a break from Dark though

Hrm... I'm watching Away on Netflix... I'm currently on ep 8, it's OK but its quite dull as well.

So many good roles, I did love her in Game of Thrones!

Event Horizon... now there's a forgotten sci-fi/horror gem!

OK so I never thought I'd write this when I was watching the first episode, but the Netflix series Teenage Bounty Hunters ended up being absolutely brilliant! I only watched this because I pressed the new put something random on button on Netflix! Honest! The adult characters are endearing and have real depth, OK the teenage characters can be bratty and annoying, but I think they're supposed to be and they do have a decent growth ark. Its got a few echos to Buffy, without the supernatural elements obviously, and a little to Chuck as well. A light hearted romp which even pokes a little fun at the religious zealotry in sections of the US, and a twist at the end of the series I genuinely didn't see coming (although I'd just written it off as bad casting choices originally)
