  1. Watched the first few episodes of Cuckoo on Netflix with the tall teacher from Inbetweeners and the mouthy cop from Brooklyn Nine Nine. I thought it was going to be really irritating, but it is quite funny. It's not a classic by any means, but has some good laughs in it. 7/10

     

    Saw Parks and Rec mentioned a bit back and anyone who hasn't seen it, really does need to. It's fucking brilliant. I also am with the US Office is better than the UK Office (if pushed, as I loved them both). The US version goes on far longer, but has more characters and develops the corresponding ones to the UK version. 

     

    Please Like Me on Netflix is really good too. Again, I thought i was going to find the main character irritating, and he can be some of the time, but it is really well written and beautifully filmed. 8/10.

  2. I'm getting to the age now where several of my mates are having marital problems. One in particular has a wife who is just horrible to him. The problem is, it has never been extreme, so he sort of glossed over it now, but the drip drip effect means he has finally realised. I have a feeling she will become a bit psycho when the inevitable break up happens.

  3. Not sure what I had when I last commented on this thread, but I had a midlife crisis a few years back and bought a BMW convertible. Great fun but utterly impractical to use in the Swedish winter. I traded it in for a GTI version of these. Easily the most fun car I have owned.

  4. Skiing is ace fun. I got into it when we moved here. Sweden has some nice resorts and the one we go to is 2 1/2 hours drive away and costs about 200 quid for a season ticket on the lift. I have my own kit now and we have friends who have a house we borrow, so costs are low. I'd definitely get a couple of lessons before starting as it takes a long time to learn by yourself.

     

    I would love to go to the Alps and do it some time.

     

     

    Snowboarding seems cooler but looks a right fag when you have to clip and unclip your boot after the lift. Also looks like you spend most of the time on your arse.

  5. I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan

     

    Not very funny if you don't like Alan Partridge though.

      

    Good shout.

    I have the other one, Nomad, at home bit haven't read it. I did look at the first page though and it says "Nomad" and gives three definitions,the third one being "Scottish - not mad". Which was a good start

    I, Partridge is ace. Nomad is ok. Has some proper funny bits, but feels a bit more thrown together than I, Partridge.

     

    I like the Bill Bryson travel books, always make me laugh.

    No worries. But seriously, buying Astra Blades in a pack on 100 lasts me about two years. Same with soap. That lasts me fucking ages. I probably shave for a tenner a year.

     

    Cheers for the tip. The delivery cost to Sweden is only 2.95 and everything is WAY cheaper than buying here.

     

    I am currently rocking a Christmas/New Year/Laziness beard, so only do my neck.

     

    I can recommend the eucalyptus and menthol shaving cream from Proraso. That site has 500ml for a tenner and one 150ml tube lasted me about 7 months as you only need a pea sized amount to get a great lather.
