Jeez - I'm starting to sound like my dad. :(
He's toured most of the planet on motorbikes, he owns dozens and has built more. He's ridden everything from drag bikes to Cubs and everything inbetween, i very much doubt he knows very little. He may be a little eccentric with some of his thoughts, he may even be a bit of a tool as well... But clearly he loves bikes and riding with a passion more than most.
Yes - I know that, and I'm not denying it - it's just the way he acts and behaves that riles me.

It was OK, but did get a bit too far fetched for me.

People seem to rave over The Expanse, but i've watched 5-6 episodes and not really getting it.

I've been re-watching Henry Coles Motorcycle Show, which is enjoyable. But i'm going to need something new to go for now.
I also binned The Expanse after a few episodes but went back to it and it gets better. I am now well into season 5 and getting them as they release in US

When it comes to Cole I can't stand watching the bloke despite numerous attempts to keep trying as he just annoys me especially when he rides modern sports bikes in an open face lid at 60 mph and states they are too powerful for the roads :roll:

I have 4 seasons of Ozark on laptop yet to get started on :mrgreen:

I really enjoyed The Dig. Ralph Fiennes has a leading role in this film about the ancient finds at Sutton Hoo. As is the way with Netflix original content it is beautifully made with a some great performances. Recommended

His acting is slightly more convincing than his hair though.

It's not a Netflix thing, but if bad acting interests you, here's Bruce phoning it in.

The Umbrella Academy. Very good and quirky.

Also watching WandaVision on Disney which is so far an absolute gem.

News of the World.
Peanut Butter Falcon

Two very different road movies exploring the pain of loss. Tom Hanks is outstanding in the first, a good man in an indifferent situation. His co star steals the show. Shia LaBeouf is in the second, a kind of riff on Rainman. Both worth the viewing.

This Means War. Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Reece Weatherspoon, so some big names, thought it'd be worth a watch. Got 15 minutes in before abandoning it and tbh, that was 14 minutes too long!

Thanks Nidge, we enjoyed that last night. Lily james is certainly easy on my eye and a great actress. We saw her in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and Rebecca recently.

Travellers has been surprisingly good. Tons of twists and turns.
Worth a watch, in my humble opinion.

I can thoroughly recommend a film from Amazon Studios (is that a Netflix thing??):

Black.Box 2020.

It's a remarkably decent low budget film, remarkable for the superb acting and character development.

ITV 4, the unrideables.

A look back at the 500gp era, full of 2 stroke loveliness and high sides.

I believe it's only available on catch up for a week
