Has anyone watched the tiger King doc on netflix?
I couldn't stop watching it and ended up finishing it in one go.
Some pack of crazy cunts.
Just watched all 6 episodes tonight. Jaysús H. Christos.... fucking mental.
Kinda glad I've never visited the States  :laugh:

Not sure why everyone is so surprised that people with an extreme job also live an extreme lifestyle.

I'll give Manhunt 2 a look alright. I'm sure it'll be very watchable at least.

I was a lumberjack for 13 years and worked in pig/beef slaughterhouses for 4.5 years.
I didn't feel the need to carry sharp objects around with me at the weekends..  :laugh:

You may as well have been working in a library compared to what those lads were doing. Slaughterhouse would be a tough job but you have no fear that the cows  would rip you limb from limb. To work with dangerous animals like that back in the late in the late 90's early 00's with almost zero regulation is crazy. To me that's one of the craziest parts of the documentary that and wondering how Joes 8mm eyebrow ring managed to stay attached to his face.

Even just being able to be around those animals and keep calm is a skill in itself never mind being able to control them. Being honest it's a job I would love but would never be able to do.

A bull near got me one day. Got the humane bolt in the head, got up and charged down the floor. I only saw him coming at the last second. Would have obliterated me only for I jumped in between two carcasses. Phew!
Yeah, my lass said that to me too. That ring was hanging on by a knat's foreskin..  :laugh:

Yeah I was also thinking mentally that job would be very difficult red meat is one my favourite things in life I couldn't even watch a slaughterhouse documentary let alone work in one it would ruin meat for me.

I've had my eyebrow pierced twice with a 1.2mm bar and could never keep it for longer than a year I don't know how he was able to stretch it that much his skin must be made of steel. My ears are stretched even putting an 8mm ring like had in his eyebrow on your earlobe is pretty uncomfortable.

Getting back to watching The Expanse, 2 episodes into season 3. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it, great show.

Well, decided to give Good Omens a go. Would be curious to know what anyone who watched it having not first read the book made of it. Have to say Sheen, Tennant, McKean and a couple of others turned in great performances, but other than that it was a real wet squib for me.

Haven't read the book and it's on the watchlist. Was aiming to get to it over the summer but that'll be sooner rather than later, I reckon. 

I watched a bit of the first episode and it sucked dick.  Irritating shite.

Having or not having read the book?

I read the book about 20 years ago but remember very little of it. I have this lined up to watch sometime, it'a been so long that I might as well be going into it blind.

Probably best; I finished a re-read with herself just before starting. The book remains a classic.
