On series 4 of The Sopranos. What a beautiful show it Is. Everything is so well thought out and nothing feels rushed 

 

Some great comedy in there too. The episode where Chris and Pauli get lost in the woods and have to sleep in that abandoned van had me in stitches 

 

Tony Soprano: [over the phone] It's a bad connection, so I'm gonna talk fast! The guy you're looking for is an ex-commando! He killed sixteen Chechen rebels single-handed!

 

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Get the **** outta here.

 

Tony Soprano: Yeah. Nice, huh? He was with the Interior Ministry. Guy's some kind of Russian green beret. This guy can not come back to tell this story. You understand?

 

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I hear you.

[the telephone connection is lost - Tony swears, and Paulie hangs up]

 

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [turning to Christopher] You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator.

 

Christopher Moltisanti: His house looked like shit.

I always worry about people who can quote large pieces of (fictional) TV programme.

Can you really not tell that has been copied and pasted? 

 

If you can't I'd worry about that more than anything.

Whilst I was only half serious Matt - I know that you are a stand-up guy - whether it was copied and pasted would only change my view slightly.

I think I know what you mean. I used to work with a couple of guys that used to quote lines from 'The Simpsons'. It got tedious very quickly. I guess equally it could have been 'Monty Python' or 'Pulp Fiction' - both of those are, I believe, popular sources for people to quote.

I know my favourite comedy stuff like Blackadder, Father Ted, Phoenix Nights, Fawlty Towers and The Young Ones off by heart by now.

I've got a Simpsons reference for everything that happens in day to day life, you'd love hanging around with me

I also have Tourette's Guy comebacks to most insults and situations but people who aren't familiar with these things (and that's most people) just look at me like I'm 200lbs of bird shit when I reel them off. Fvck them and their pussy-whipped friends.

Watched unforgotten last night quite disapointing imo. The 2 seasons before were better. This season just seemed predictable and cliched who the killer was.

Yeah, it's really an enormous shortcoming being able to retain large amounts of information. I feel like such a fool.

I don't think we'd get on.

I can probably quote the majority of The Office, I'm Alan Partridge, Phoenix Nights and The Thick of It.

If you got on with me you'd be the exception and that would probably mean there's something odd about you.

As for memorising. I remember people, faces and generalities exceptionally well but make a point of not filling my memory with uselessness. I often can't remember what my wife said to me 5 minutes ago.

Started watching The Sinner last night. Bit too early to say if I'm going to like if but first impressions are Jessica Biel is absolutely brilliant. 

I gotta be honest, I've always just seen her as a crap b movie actress but this could well be a reinventing of a career on a McConaughey level.

Its a good series. Me and the wife enjoyed it. 2nd season is out soon.

I've started watching 13 Reasons Why, a bit weird but i've heard good things about it so will stick with it.

 

Also waiting for Power, didn't realise it was a mid season break on Netflix (even though its not mid season ). Getting through Attack on Titan as well.

 

Hate waiting for episodes
