As Masters of the Air has started, some context on what was going on at the time - Warning bad language and controversial views ahead...

2 episodes in and its very good.

Its worthy of its own thread.

Masters of the Air on Apple from today. It has a lot to live up to after Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Now 25Kgs down. Still failing to be consistent. Will be trying to start some weights this week.

Dot watching this weekend?

I enjoyed the new Gladiators. Kept a certain level of cheesiness, a bit of the WWE and looked good. Not convinced by 2 Walshes mind you. And good to see what a diet of Chicken, Broccoli and rice will do for you....
