    So what are your top 5?

    Nothing unusual really. hard to narrow it down but these would be there or therabouts:

     

    The Sopranos

    Sons of Anarchy / Mayans

    Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul

    The Shield

    GoT

     

    Having said that I like a lot of cop shows, both UK and US so currently Luther, Line of Duty, Bosch and Chicago PD, older ones Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, Criminal Intent, CSI etc. No comedy in the above list either, which is a shame.

    Movie - El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

     

    Interested to see if this will be ok or if it's just cashing in on the name.
    Summary: Picking up moments after the series finale of Breaking Bad ends, Aaron Paul is back as Jesse Pinkman in El Camino.

     

    Released next week.

    Thanks.

     

    Breaking Bad would be in my top 5 shows so I hope this lives up to it.

    This English man uses Apple Cider vinegar and Balsamic, the clear chemical stuff for cleaning get a 5ltr can for under €3.

    The vinegar under discussion, and that which English people refer to simply as "vinegar" is traditional malt vinegar, as used in days gone by in local chippies across the land.

    I quite like my chips with Sarsons Malt Vinegar, their not chips otherwise. And life expectancy has nothing to do with vinegar, I used to drink the stuff by the pint and I'm still going strong, thanks.

    Well Bullie is a bit out of touch. Malt vinegar is quite hard to find and has largely been replaced by an ersatz "non-brewed condiment".

    Aside from chips, most English people do not put vinegar on their food.

     

    Fish and chip consumption has been declining over the last few decades, being replaced by chicken, burgers and kebabs, the number of fish and chip shops in the UK has fallen from around 35,000 to fewer than 10,000.

     

    In conclusion, perhaps the opposite is true, perhaps the fall in the use of vinegar is responsible for English people dying sooner?

  6. Another new series starting last week, Prodigal Son, looks decent.

     

     

    "Malcolm Bright is a gifted criminal psychologist, using his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, a serial killer father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses. Bright's only ally is his sister, Ainsley, a TV journalist who wishes her brother would take a break from murder and have a normal life. Unfortunately for his sister, the only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo. Arroyo's one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team, which includes Detective JT Tarmel, a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself."

    Red oxide won't poison you. I merely mentioned red lead for the benefit of older people (like myself) who could assimilate the two products. Never mind.

    ok but of course all of these things are still available here where people don't enjoy the protections that we get in the UK and elsewhere. Even the US was nearly twenty years behind Europe in banning asbestos.

    So it was a political maneuver by Johnson? Suspend parliament so he can behave like a dictator.

    Something he explicitly denied on several occasions and indeed appears to affirmed that this was not the case to the Queen.

    So he was lying AGAIN.   

    Well he was sacked for lying previously, surprising that so many thought he'd change his spots if they selected him for PM.

    That is what they do in Africa when they have lost an election. You're dragging British politics down to that level.

    I'm sure all the Africans who have piled into Britain to exploit our standard of living are fine with that, but I am not - it is un-British and ignoble. Nobody is making any legal challenges to the validity of the vote. Just honour it. Anything else is anarchy and third-worldism.

    What are you waffling on about bringing up legal challenges?

    No legal challenges are allowed in the case of a non-binding, advisory referendum. That's under UK electoral law, which is the topic under discussion, not some attempted deflection by bringing Africa ito the debate.

    quote from your post "The majority of UK citizens most certainly did not vote to Leave, as you put it, that is a lie. 17.4 million people out of over 60 million is a majority now?

     

    If you want to quote figures, please back them up with links or references otherwise it is just your guess, and you were 5,648,000 people out which makes your figures incorrect.

     

    https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/bulletins/annualmidyearpopulationestimates/mid2016#main-points

     

    The population of the UK at 30 June 2016 is estimated to be 65,648,000 people.

     

    Actually of those 60 odd million people only 46,500,001 were registered to vote.

     

    Of the 46,500,001 people registered to vote, 12,948,108 could not be bothered to vote.

     

    If you cannot be bothered to vote, then you must accept the fact that you have no voice in the vote and accept the outcome.

     

    Of the rest 17,410,742  51.89% voted to Leave and 16,141,241  48.11% voted to Remain.

     

    Therefore the Leave vote won the day.

     

    Therefore the Remain side should accept the result.

     

    That is called democracy.

     

    Sadly it appears that they are unwilling or cannot accept the result. That is why over 3 years later the UK is in the state it is now.

     

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum

     

    Results
    Votes    %
    Leave    17,410,742    51.89%
    Remain    16,141,241    48.11%
    Valid votes    33,551,983    99.92%
    Invalid or blank votes    25,359    0.08%
    Total votes    33,577,342    100.00%
    Registered voters/turnout    46,500,001    72.21%
     

    Sadly not a single one of you will accept the fact that the Leave campaign commeted electoral fraud, nor have you had the decency to say that it's wrong or the honesty to say that you're ok with it. Once again, nobody should accept a result achieved through fraud, that's democracy.
