Rivals on Disney. 80's Camp as fuck with knobs bums and tits. A triumph!

I've enjoyed it.

Doesn't take itself seriously, just a lot of fun.

Like a carry on film.

Kenneth would have been perfect for it.

 

[Jolemai]

Can’t believe I actually watched all 4 episodes of the Listeners. Nonsense.

I've been watching it expecting it to get better or for something to actually happen, one episode left to watch, not sure I can be bothered.

My girls watch these videos religiously, I have to admit I enjoyed this one myself.

I found this very interesting, and very well produced. Worth a watch on your TV rather than phone as it is excellent visually!

No wonder the Saudis are screaming for engineers and willing to pay bat shit salaries!

Been working on Neom for 2 years now, its not as full on as it was.

Really? Are they turning the taps off?

A slight change of focus, lots of investment going into Riyadh at the moment. Plan is still to have Neom up and running for the various sporting events planned. Sindalah is open already though.

It's absolutely mental how much this is costing!

The visualisations are insane! It looks like Elysium.

The overall plan, to diversify the economy away from Oil using the revenues from Oil, is very valid. The ambition to be Carbon neutral is lofty too.

You can argue about using Oil to get there, but that's very easy to do so sitting on a high horse upon an Island built on coal and colonialism

I agree, the transition to wind and PV to energise it is vast too, I don't see it as a bad thing at all.

The scale is phenomenal.

Black Doves. Excellent.

 

[Lupo]

Black Doves. Excellent.

Was very good yes

Watched the latest series of Strike this week

Very late to the party here, but binged Ted Lasso over the last week and it's really good / much better than I expected. The biggest shock for me was that my partner thoroughly enjoyed it too, it has a nice way of interweaving football but that not being the hook of the series (as most of you no doubt already know).

Gavin and Stacey. Crap.

 

[sycophantia]

Gavin and Stacey. Crap.

We enjoyed it, so did my lad and his missus and they poo, poo'd it, having never seen it.
Clever and high brow it isn't but it made me smile at times and I don't mind a bit of sentimentality at Crimble.

 

[Lupo]

We thought it started slowly and had had its day but warmed up nicely and got better as the show went on

If you like G&S it was good if you don't it was sentimental crap, but if you feel that way then I don't know why you'd watch it, as it is what it is.
