I am half way through this:

and can honestly say I haven’t enjoyed a second of reading it.

Also should have sacked off my job at the ONS as soon as it started making me ill, rather than a year later when I was still ill and they were about to sack me.

Also: fags, obviously

skunk

Yesssss

Looks a bit basic compared to the others, too:

I don’t think this is true.

Auditing. Did it for over 4 years, don’t think there was a single day that I genuinely enjoyed my job. Paid well and I got to do a load of stuff I wouldn’t have otherwise done with the money but the actual job was so tedious.

4 years and 3 months of actual work, 4 years and 4 months if you count the notice period I didn’t show up for after I flounced off in a huff.

The Affair

Excellent, Affair has been on my to watch list for years. One less thing to attempt.

yeah heap o’ shit. Nice to look at but didn’t dig deep enough, main guy was fucking annoying too. bloke who played Pablo Escobar is obviously brilliant and was probably the reason we stuck with it for as long as we did.
We’d been watching out of routine then after the 2nd or so ep of the 2nd series we just looked at each other like ‘this is a bit shit really isn’t it’ and it was quite a relief

first series is fine, nicely acted and etc. Completely loses where it’s going shortly after

I’ll probably still be watching the new season of American Horror Story, so I guess that counts too…

you’re saying you didn’t love every single readjusting of trousers?

he’s the best thing about it and I liked him and his pantalon readjustments

That’s the problem though isn’t it, so many well made acted produced etc shows that just don’t grab you or do anything special. Started Halt and Catch Fire and already feeling this way only 3 eps in. But then again I’ve heard it gets better with every season so…

The fact that I wrote some positive things immediately after might suggest I was exaggerating slightly. Just did nothing for me and the main DEA guy was proper shit

American DEA guy was terrible.
