Oh yes of course I thought you meant current climate on eBay or something else.
Just ignore me...
What are you watching on TV? Page 610
Well, eBay isn't exactly in the best state either. Sellers can not leave negative feedback, and have very little protection from dishonest buyers. A close friend of mine sells a lot on eBay and recently was forced to issue a $1,200 refund on something that she knew the customer had received. Consequently, she no longer sells to the far east.
I got the Deadwood boxset for Crimbo. Nearly finished Season 1, fantastic show with some incredible acting.

Meh, it was ok. I loved the first few series, but I didn't think last nights was all that great.
Well I just watched my first 'long' episode of Jonathan Creek.
It was alright, couple of laughs in places. I liked "Are you thinking of someone else?", "Hitler, sorry!".
Oh yeah - and it had Jen in it!
All in all, meh!
Quote: Moonstone @ January 2 2009, 8:26 PM GMTOh yeah - and it had Jen in it!
That whole bit with her having run off with Two Pints boyfriend was a bit stupid.

Really? I thought it started a bit wobbly, but really picked up to a cracking end.

Give the series proper a go. Especially the first couple with Caroline Quentin. I can see why last night's episode wouldn't have appealed if you're not familiar with it already.

Agreed. Was a tiny bit unrealistic.

Never got into it. Looked good though, I'll give 'em that.

Are they all half hour eps? I can live with that, but not a series of 2 hour episodes. I'll have a look around on t' net and see if I can find any of series one.
I didn't think it was bad, I just can't say I thought it was brilliant, but it's not fair to judge the whole thing on one showing.

No, this was the longest. I think there's been one other 2 hour (Satan's Chimney - although thinking about it, that might have been two one-hour episodes), but otherwise they're 45-50 minutes ish I think.
I really really do think you should give it another go. It's such a sublimey crafted, intricate series.

I will. What I'll do is find at least one or two eps online and then buy a series if I like it. I just don't want to be stuck with a DVD I don't like and won't ever watch. I'm certainly not giving up on it just yet.
Yeah, it's alright. They're not the best bunch of films, but they are good popcorn fodder.
I just watched yesterdays Eastenders. What the f**k was that?! It was so messy and random. Thought Sean needed to go out with a BOOM!

Eastenders? Soap jerkers?
