Given up trying to watch stuff on android apps, never stops buffering and a lot of things never start, 200 mbs so about 30 most of the time

Do you mean that the feed to your Router from your ISP is 200Mb/s (not mbs = millibits), but the WiFi signal is down to 30? Which is still enough for a 1080 video.

Yes it's a non starter on the phone and through the android box on the tv, sometimes it works but not often

I agree.

 

It's probably a legal requirement or something along the lines of natural justice, but surely the cops could just ask if they're going to answer no comment to every question and just wrap it up.

they do ,after saying "no comment" or  times ,they ask if that is what you are going to say all the way through the interview ,,they then stop the interview.  please  dont ask how i know. 

ps ,just started watching an old series (new series of it starting) called Ozark ,really enjoying it.

Documentary - The Disappearance of Shannon Matthews

Available at the usual places.

 

Summary: Two part documentary about the disappearance of nine-year-old Shannon Matthews in Yorkshire in 2008, an investigation that gripped the nation....................

 

A scary part of the documentary was when it was mentioned that there were 1,400+ registered child sex offenders living within a twenty mile radius of the missing girl's house. How many must there be that are not registered? ????

 

Full 2 parts below.

Another item to fuel the "there's nothing good on television these days" brigade. 

 

Can't Get You Out of My Head

A very original concept for a documentary. Dare I say -- mind blowing?

 

 

Can’t Get You Out of My Head review – Adam Curtis's 'emotional history' is dazzling | Television | The Guardian

 

Examining the power structures and political intrigue that have shaped our world, the filmmaker’s new BBC documentary series is a dense, ambitious triumph

 

Can’t Get You Out of My Head: An Emotional History of the Modern World did – sorry – leave me quite emotional. I cannot – sorry, very sorry, again – get it out of my head.

Adam Curtis’s new series of films (released en masse today on BBC iPlayer) are a dazzling, overwhelming experience.

Nothing great but for those that like these types oldies. On youtube and the torrents.

Spy ( 2011 )

 

Found this on fmovies, very funny ( imho ) interaction between Tim , the main character who becomes a spy by accident , and the rest, his pretentious son, annoying ex wife and idiot of a boss played by Robert Lindsay.

 

Series 2 lost the plot a little but still funny in parts.

Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel

 

New one just out.

Available on RARBG.

Summary: College student and tourist Elisa Lam vanishes, leaving behind all of her possessions in her hotel room. The Cecil Hotel grows in infamy.

 

 

Extremely good thanks.  Although I must say I didnt felt convinced at the conclusion....a difficult one.

Watched the movie "Silk Road" yesterday and thought it was good and I'm sure those with more knowledge about the Internet and computers than I, might enjoy it even more!

 

Also watched the movie "Unbroken" again the other evening and found it most entertaining (again) but never did come to understand why the Japanese guard/Sgt hated the American POW Louis Zamperini so much to inflict so much cruelty on him.

Too many armchair detectives with wild conspiracy theories IMO. A lot had to eat crow at the conclusion.

I downloaded it--just have to get a time slot, now boxing is back on, I have to watch it & football first,  or I will open the newspaper watch T.V. or go on the internet and somewhere  the results will pop up.

But silk road...yer its what gave the Bit-coin a kick along & got a lot of people used to using it.

no it wasnt the conspiracy <deleted> it was to do with the elevator footage.  They spent a lot of time on this footage but at the end admitted it had been altered by who knows who and it wasnt the original copy but they had possession of the original. 

 

I was just curious as to why not show the original??

If I remember correctly from a few years back, there was more footage but it was said that it was just of the inside of the elevator. (about 4(?) mins of footage).

 

I'm not sure if it's a false memory or not, but I thought there was some footage of Elisa stood in the elevator next to the button panel with what appeared to be the tip of someone's shoe in view, outside and to the left of the elevator door, as well as the footage already shown in the documentary of what appeared to be someone's shoe-tip when she exited the lift.

 

???? hmm. Curious and curiouser.

The fact that the girl was bipolar, had a history of mental illness and had to be relocated to another room because of roomates complaints, and was also off her meds was enough evidence for me, everything else was pure conjecture.  All the conspiracy theorists ruined that poor musicians life by accusing him, and he wasn't even in the country at the time. Too many amateur sleuths with too much time on their hands.

[TooBigToFit]

This was surprisingly funny especially in the world we have today. 70s-80s silliness. On the torrents.

Apocalypse Now Redux, on SBS World movies tonight. 

 - having an open mind about what the differences might have been... it sort became a surreal sort of mandela effect, as Most of it seemed unreconisable from the original release ????

I Care a Lot - Netflix.

 

Don't watch if you don't like seeing old people getting robbed blind of everything they have. 

 

 

 

Above storyline likely to have been taken from true life accounts.

The Widower

 

This one looks promising.
Episode 1 out there now on RARBG..

Summary: The Widower, a chilling new docuseries from the producers of Dateline NBC, is here to feed your true crime fixation. The three-part series introduces Thomas Randolph, a man who’s been married six times. And while that sounds like a lot of weddings, that’s not the most unusual part of his case — it’s that four out of Randolph’s six wives have all died under suspicious circumstances.
