Yup, and yet the numpty politicians still haven't got the message:dimbulb:. To distract the public they've manage to nab a few overseas banks for money laundering and doing business with Iran:hammer:. Never-mind that the American banks have bankrupted counties:nono:, laundered money for drug cartels:kiffer:, and walked away without a charge being laid:pirate:.

The US is the most 'acceptably' corrupt nation on earth i reckon. :321:

It really is unbelievable! I couldn't believe how corrupt everyone seems to be!

Gav- thanks for the link, I will check it out.

I've just been watching an excellent police series from Ireland called Single Handed. I recorded the episodes over the last month or so when I was in Bali. It is on Foxtel's "13th Street" channel. I think it may be over as I still have one recorded episode to watch, but there are no episodes lined up to still record.

It is a very down to earth series with real life characters and is set in County Galway on Ireland's West Coast. It is not in the least like Ballykissangel, Heart Beat or Midsomer Murders which try to create an idyllic rural environment that we all nostalgically want to return to or move to. It is low key with a very plausible story line.

Another Irish series that I also recorded and have only got to see a few episodes is RAW. It is set in a Dublin restaurant and is humorous but not a comedy as such. It too may now be over.

I've seen both in the last year or so. I preferred Bruges as it was meant to be comedic and didn't take itself too seriously. I liked The Guard too, but it relied a bit (not much though) on what is often called "stage Irish" (or stereotyped characterisations of Irish people), something that Single Handed avoided.
 
I watched the Green Mile last night, has to be up there with one of my favourite movies.

Surfing the channels, I watched some of the chanel 10 "I will survive" jezz some of those guys can really sing.:eek:
Not sure about the costumes though.
 
The Gene Code Part I is downloadable from SBS site
The Gene Code Part II is showing on Sunday night

Very watchable!
 
Picked up on the SBS doc "Prohibition". I saw the first eprisode and was amazed at how strong and wide spread the support for the prohibition amendement was in the US. It ran accross all social and political groups.

Also showed the destructive effects of alcholism across US which dfrove the temperance movement. VG
 
Half way through the first half of season 5 of Breaking Bad. Still a cracking show that hooks you in, will be a shame when it is finished as this is the final season and one of the best TV series ever made
 
Enjoying the footage on Great Southern Land on ABC, although I find the commentary a little too "school-teachery" for me. It would probably make good viewing for school students.
 
Watching series 3 of Boardwalk Empire. It seems to be going downhill since series 1 and I no longer find it compelling to watch. All the interesting characters were killed off in S2.
 
Being a trading forum - has anyone seen Arbitrage yet?

I am probably going to see it this weekend, good reviews from what I have read.
