Enjoyed 3 Body Problem on Netflix enough that I've started on the novel.

After that I was in the mood for more glossy sci-fi, so I started For All Mankind last night. Really fun alt history stuff. I've not really binged anything in a good while, so I'm looking forward to a good 40 episodes.

The original Chinese version is free on YouTube and it's an official upload, I've been enjoying it.

If it's Nattie getting squashed then go for it, I know we're not really fans here but she's enough of a name that it'd really mean something.

Watched that last night and it's great, they're spot on about Louis too.

I'm sure we used to have something similar in the UK, I think they were called Doritos 3D

We also had Bugels which look like an exact version of those posted above.

A couple more Irish related shows recently after the Kin watch, The Gone was a pretty good mystery set in New Zealand with an Irish couple going missing, I do love myself a show set in a small but quirky little town, as you know. It has hints of the spook about it too, but never really going into supernatural territory.

Next was Blue Lights which was fucking excellent and up there with Line of Duty, and a new season is just around the corner. A really great cast of characters here.

I've seen that Virgils in Tesco of all places, it's in the Yank world foods section if your local has one.

Aldi have their limited edition flavoured lemonades again, I bought myself the blueberry which is lovely with a nice tang but there's also kiwi, peach and raspberry IIRC.

Barbican have done similar recently, I know of multiple artists who have now withdrawn art in response.

They all had great runs in the big companies, we need The Headhunters right now. Two even fatter Abdullah's but they can actually run and even flip and moonsault would be brilliant in AEW right now.

Bret doing a heel promo back in 1993, it's a shame the matches he has with Lawler in Memphis don't seem to be anywhere online. I'm not sure they were ever shown.

Jacktus Cack? Is this anything? 

Sounds like Pood Love.

Yeah own brand crisps have caught up to Walkers and often out-do them now, I think maybe that the big W have dropped in quality too and nearly all of these gimmick flavours they throw out are also poor or just taste like something already out.

Ospreay doesn’t fit the in ring style

That could have also been said at one point for guys like AJ, Sami and Owens etc. If anything be has a whole host of guys he could mesh well with in WWE's current style plus he's already shown in his move to the heavyweights in New Japan that he can change things up perfectly when needed. People still sleep on his versatility.

I agree with the rest though, he's not after that lifestyle.

Buying eggs for the missus, I bet.

Especially after how he handled talking about Vince recently, there's no denying he's a wrong'un when it comes to women. Proper incel "nice guy" vibes.

While I can see certain people high up in WWE definitely being the types to offer more freedom I'm not so sure about Endeavor/TKO as a whole, isn't the UFC side super controlling of it's fighters (while underpaying them by a tonne)?

There were boos but then again it's Chicago, never a place that's fully indicative of the general fanbase.

Yeah Mox is more like a Terry Funk than someone who actually hates the fed, he appreciates his freedom.

Beefcake could be another episode where there's a more lighthearted approach, a little fun to be had with all those gimmicks.

90's smark darling Gary Albright, never got the chance to shine in the US during his lifetime but if he was around now mixing it up with the current crop of hard hitting lads he'd be perfect. Against the likes of Gunther or Samoa Joe? MEAT!

He was the OG human suplex machine.

Drew off the cuff calling out Punk's lazy gay joke was the moment for me during that whole exchange, what a hypocrite, innit?

Rocky looked class coming out with that new entrance, a proper nasty cunt during that beatdown, too. The first time since his return that I've been fully behind it.

I'd imagine there's already claims by weirdos of it being a controlled demolition.
