I absolutely love Leone's westerns but Once Upon A Time in America is one of the single most disappointing and unbelievably boring experiences of life. Never again.

I’ve had a massive crush on Dr Karl for years and both him and Susan were the first confirmed guests. I’ve met him twice - once at a Neighbours Night in Sydney and once after a pantomime he was in in Sevenoaks - and I turned into a knob both times so god knows what I’ll be like at the M&G!
And I’m telling you now, if Jason Donovan is announced then I will absolutely lose my shit. I was seriously obsessed with him when I was younger.
Donavon would be superb. I had tickets to see Dr K with meet and great a couple years back but the show got cancelled due to covid. He did send me a video birthday message once though for free so he's top in my book. I really should look into his new tour.

My friend and I had tickets for a Neighbours Reunion that was meant to happen in 2020 and got cancelled. So when the Farewell Tour was announced we had the option of transferring the tickets or getting a refund. Of course we transferred (for amazing seats at the London Palladium) and then also upgraded to a meet and greet. I can’t tell you how ridiculously excited I am about this.
Oooh, jealous of the meet and great tickets. I was to late for them.

Seeing as Neighbours is dying next week I was thinking about how I can get my daily fix of Ramsay Street still. I've got all the DVD box sets available so that covers the first 100 or so episodes but ideally I'd like a complete collection.
I've found a couple of places selling 2tb hard drives with near complete runs. But they want £330. Is there anywhere that has them as torrents or a reliable soap version of watchwrestling that any of you know of?
EDIT - Just checked the DVDs and it turns out there are the first 297 consecutive episodes in the box sets. Much more than I realised but it's a drop in the ocean really.

Where did you manage to watch Barry? I thought it was on NowTV but it's not!Â
It's been taken down already. Will be back up just before the next season I expect. Otherwise it can be bought on Apple TV etc

Good news, the bank have sorted the money for my Mum. Hopefully they took it from the bastard who did this but who knows.

Yes. Yes there was. Her judgement was impaired because she was targeted and manipulated by someone who has developed the skills necessary to cause someone's judgement to be impaired. That's what they do. That's how the scam works. It's not just an opportunist asking for money on the off-chance she'll hand it over.
To be clear I'm not the one asking that question. The bank fraud team are.

What an absolutely abhorrent question, who the fuck actually cares? Someone has taken advantage of someone else, don't make them feel bad about it.
Yeah I thought it was a bit off. Presumably it's a standard question when they go through their fraud protocol.

Just got off the phone with the banks fraud department and they say they will be back in touch within 14 days. Was hard seeing her break down when asked if there was any reason her judgement was impaired. She's got a nasty cold and is still mourning my Dad.
Fortunately she's in a position where she's not reliant on that money but she very well could have been.
-
Yeah I'm fine thanks. Just don't want her to feel bad about it. She's been the victim of a crime but she definitely felt like it was her in the wrong when it absolutely wasn't. She seems ok now. It's pretty detailed manipulation. The cunts.

My Mum's just been scammed out of £1500 because some utter wanker has contacted her via text claiming to be me having dropped my phone in the bog and needing to borrow money to pay a bill! They had a full blown conversation with her pretending to be me.
She sent the money and of course they asked for more at which point she phoned me. I've legged it over and called the bank for her as she doesn't hear so well and is a bit shaken.
They can't do anything until 9am when the fraud departments open. Also reported it to the police fraud website after being told to do so by the police.
Absolute utter cunts.
Is there any chance she'll get the money back?

That the existence of such an event was not mentioned till now is both an affront to, and indictment of, this entire forum.
Fucking sold out. ðŸ˜
New dates added. Get in quick though.
London above, Bath below.

lovely moment this week on Neighbours, with Plain Jane Superbrain's son confessing to his work as a male escort, causing a portrait of Jane's grandmother Mrs Mangle to fall off the wall in disgust.
This was my favourite moment in ages. So perfectly Neighbours.
Dreading the end of the show but the build to the finale is going to be a treat. Yesterday's final scene got a pop from me.
Managed to get two tickets to next year's Neighbours farewell tour in London. They've only announced Karl & Susan thus far. I'm crossing my fingers for Harold, Paul & Roxy.

Man I want him to go down for this. What a shit. Apparently the board have stated that once the inquiry is over they will take public questions on the subject from the shareholders.Â

I've been using this as a guide and found it a godsend.

I've got big into collecting comics again recently and I'm loving it. Mainly still reading digitally but I'm also collecting physical books again. Love the covers.
Just in case anyone else is interested. I've just found out that Image have a digital humble bundle of their 90s titles for the 30th anniversary.
The first 20 volumes of Spawn tpbs. Along with a ton of Savage Dragon, Witchblade, Shadowhawk, The Darkness, Cyber Force, Battle Chasers and Astro City.

Just unboxed this bad boy. Super chuffed with it. Not only is Lost Light now firmly in my favourite comic runs of all time but I got it for an absolute bargain on eBay. £16 delivered for a 9.6 graded book is insane not to mention it's the first issue of this monumental run.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has been found dead while on tour in Colombia.
Well fuck that's knocked me for six. Always really liked him. I'd say I'm a casual Foo Fighters fan but he always seemed ace for what little I knew about him.

Close YouTube we have a winner. This is superb.

Cheers both. I've got a Google Pixel Pro 6 now so hopefully that should do the job. I think they will be longer than a couple of minutes on occasion so Capcuts probably out.

Any of you fine people know if there are any editing software apps for mobiles these days? I'm thinking of doing some basic YouTube vids and spend far more time with my phone than with my computer.

Just read on Kevin Nash's Instagram that Scott's family will be taking him off life support. Very sad stuff.

My Wife snagged this Deltof display case yesterday for 20 quid just round the corner from us. Makes the living room and bots looks so much nicer. Proper chuffed.

I like the way they say from the studio that brought you Venom as if that’s a badge of honour. I feel I need to see it because it has Michael Keaton back and will no doubt set up a Sinister Six v Spider-Man film, but have no interest in this or Kraven. 2 crack characters from an excellent cartoon who aren’t exactly loved by comic book dweebs.
To be fair Kraven's Last Hunt is a superb book. At least with Kraven he has source material that supports the idea that he's worth adapting.

Looks like a house on Ramsay Street is up for sale. If I had the money I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
