Re: Recommended TV Drama
I like that, might be a bit too gentle for some though. There's not even a murder every episode.

I couldn’t watch that much television, I can barely sit still for 5 minutes.

Re: Recommended TV Drama
Neither can I. I'm ADHD but not much to do here so not a lot of choice. I tend to have TV on while doing other stuff so I'm listening more than sat watching...Barlow Boy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2026 10:55 am Jeez, do you ever go out Sub?

Re: Recommended TV Drama
My Mrs and neighbours reckon there is something not right about me, as I’m always on the go doing something. To be fair, I’ve got the snooker on, a toastie brewing for lunch and clearing out one of the bedrooms.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2026 11:35 am Neither can I.

I thought about you this morning, no not in that way, but I’m going to have a crack at some painting and decorating. I haven’t picked up a paintbrush since infant school, so it could get messy.

Re: Recommended TV Drama
Cheers, I am an absolute complete amateur with this, but I’m going to give it a go. No pressure time wise, so it’s one step at a time.
I’ve been reading up about wiping the walls down with sugar soap etc, I didn’t realise there was different paints, emulsions, matts, silks the list goes on.
