just as well online catch up services and torrents. *nods*
game of thrones is back tonight too... going to need to torrent that... stupid sky atlantic. 
Yes I had the same problem with the new series of Mad Men. Damn Murdoch has grabbed everything. Thank goodness for the download fairies *coff*
Is Game Of Thrones good?
very good.
Although... need to download it slowly on the ancient laptop rather than watch it in the hall on the fast computer. Rather than have anyone walk by whilst watching it... HBO... you know... *ahem*
Peter Dinklage is absolutely immense in it.
I had heard it was a bit saucy, yes.
I thoroughly enjoyed Once Upon A Time. Liked the kid and the birth Mother especially. 
The sheriff's accent was a bit odd though- is he supposed to be English, or just posh?
He's Northern irish, but seems to be trying to cover it up in the pilot... Never fear! For next week he'll be using his proper accent. 
Wee Henry is great, I like Emma too... but they are far from the most popular characters. Gold, Ruby and Leroy (Storybrooke names) get that honour.
I never guessed he was from NI.
Yep, can't wait to next week.
This show just gets better... the sneak peak for tonight's american episode had me shouting "bitch" at my monitor. 
lol don't give anything away [I know you won't]
my lips. they are sealed. *nods*
game of thrones was good too... just gotta say... the puppies have got big.
Was a major part of season one... the direwolves would rip someone's throat out (a bad person, of course), and the forums would descend into "aww good puppy! who's a good puppy? you are! yes you are! I want a puppy!"
Sounds quite bloodthirsty.
I don't think I've ever Sean Bean in anything good. His luck/agent must have changed.
Lord of the Rings! Plus, he's umm... not in season two. Not exactly spoilers since the book is 13 years old at least.. but yeah.
Is a bit blood thirsty, yes... but I can deal with that more than the other stuffs. *nods*
Ah yes... he was in Lord of The Rings.
One of the best fake accounts on twitter is Boromir Does Not...
Pretty much every tweet is "One does not simply (mundane thing). It is folly!". Educational too. I've learnt the spanish for "it is folly!" (Es una Locura!)
b.t.w. how is Mitxy doing? Are you keeping her nice and shiny
Mitxy has a dent... and some scrapedness... She's also manky, but they are starting dusty work in my street and the seaguls are nesting on our roofs. I think washing her may be a waste in time.
Ah well, If there are seagulls and lots of dust around, no point.
*doesn't ask how Mitxy got the dent*
Idiot here forgot to take the turn off as i parked. So, when I started the car up to reverse... i wasn't expecting it to turn... whack!
Drat
could've been worse.
Yeah, suppose so.
I can't find the link but there was a thing in the Telegraph about councils encouraging people NOT to wash their cars. A dirty car = good for the environment
I guess it's the whole hose pipe ban thing... or at least not wasting water in a general ecomentalist type way.
Yes thats it, don't waste water and all that.
Happy Easter Hitch did you get some nice eggs? No proper chocs for me this year but I have some Atkins bars.
no eggs for me. I got a box of thornton's treacle toffee, finished by good friday, naturally.
Couldn't wait eh?
I didn't even eat my Atkins bars. Luckily at the moment I have no sweet tooth.
their treacle toffee... 'tis my achilles heel!
Yeah sweet tooth... couldn't have faced all that chocolate...
Just caught up with Once Upon a Time on demand 5 - no ads!
I'm finding the sheriff's accent a bit distracting, but otherwise its good.
On that point I may h... nope, nevermind!
It is lovely and demand 5 has lead to me being very unhealthy with the amount of watchings. *nods*
Its surprisingly dark too. Although I somehow can't bring myself to dislike the Mayor lady.
Robert Carlyle is chewing the scenery heh heh
if you can't chew scenery as Rumpy when can you chew scenery?
Oh give it a while... lol I love to hate her. I don't want to say too much about anything, being on episode 18 and what not...

Yeah, exactly
I look forward to hating the evil queen / mayor. She did do her father in after all.
poor Henry, he was a simpering idiot... Didn't desevre to to die for a porrly thought out revenge mission.
Oh Henry the father! For a minute I thought you meant the wee boy, phew.
Also the man who plays Sidney Glass, played a terrible villain in Breaking Bad; its hard to get used to him in this. Although he is playing another bad guy.
he was on the wire too apparently... but, this is the first thing i've seen him in.
I love the puns in this sometimes... really cheesy. Sidney Glass, Storybrooke Mirror. Archie "Hopper", Mary Margaret "Blanchard", Regina "Mills"... Some of the good ones I can't mention yet. *doh*
I hadn't noticed the puns... ohh yeah now you mention it
Ooh... Just watched the Pointless repeat that had Discworld novels as a final round question...
Having trouble copying with i) how many pointless answers there were ii) that there were so many watch/witches books listed... I would've thought stand alones...
I haven't shut up about this yet... (you can probably tell 
)
I know how it feels. The Guardian on its blog had 2 reports recently by 2 people [authors not repliers ] who hadn't even watched Mad Men... one stayed
I haven't watched Mad Men. 
Mad Men and American Dad are currently my favourite programmes.
Mad Men is a slow character study. Not for everyone,maybe... its a bit umm....languorous? Once you fall in love with the characters, their every move/utterance seems important though.
American Dad is brilliant and accessible though.
Hitch - you've introduced me to lots of good tv. I'd be delighted if you could be converted to the joys of Roger the Alien ... gotta be the best TV character ever?
The thing with American Dad is... I hate Family Guy... *ahem* It's the same style, the same people...
I've seen bits of Mad Men, just not feeling it... I'm a fussy person.
