Wow, Mobland! Anybody see the final episode last night? Absolutely fantastic that series, from the first episode to the last - incredible. Season 2 is confirmed I believe, Tom Hardy has said it's coming back with another season.

{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen the final episode yet, I will watch that as soon as I get a chance. I have enjoyed it so far.}

You're in for a treat Ed1 mate, it's really good. I might even watch them all again.

{Ed001's Note - I just had a notification to tell me it is available to watch now, so I might just take a break and watch it. I have been trying that Dept Q, not sure if I like it or not though, it is odd.}

I've not heard of that one, Ed1 mate. After a quick search it's certainly rated highly. I'll have to have a look at it.

Take a break and watch mobland mate, it's got to be done! Fk everyone on the sites, mobland comes first! Lol.

I don't know how you do it to be honest, I'm guessing you're on a computer editing? If I were to be on a computer all day mate I'd be getting distracted by watching stuff lol and gaming! Ah gaming, a thing of the past for me but my God I miss the gaming days!

{Ed001's Note - I miss gaming, but this lappy is not able to cope with any games any more anyway, it overheats so gaming is out for me at the moment.}

Ed1, them Chromebooks are good mate, only issue is they aren't for gaming really, more for work. Cheap and cheerful though. My lads use them but I must admit, the only thing I use at home is my PC, for me I just enjoy being sat at the PC in my own space.

I watched that dept q last night mate, I can't really judge it yet as I only watched the one episode but I think it's promising, going to watch another 1-2 tonight. It's actually number 1 on Netflix at the moment so I'm trying to think, it must be good? Lol.

{Ed001's Note - chrome books are no good for me, not powerful enough. I have a gaming lappy but it was budget and that was a mistake. Still it does the job for now.

Have you watched The City Is Ours? I was very disappointed as hearing it was set in Liverpool, I assumed it was about LFC!}

Haha Ed1, yes mate I've seen that as well, I thought it was brilliant. I think I'd read they're doing another series as well. While I'm thinking about it did you ever watch the series 'Kin'? Another great one, an Irish crime family. I think there's 3 seasons of it.

I watched another 2 episodes of dept q, I still can't figure out if I like it or not to be honest. It's one of them, I think it'll depend on how the ending is. I'm hoping what I'm seeing about that woman isn't dragged out for the entire series and there's more twists and turns.

As for laptops, I remember years ago they used to do beast Alienware gaming laptops, do you remember them? I wouldn't even know if the brand is still around nowadays but they used to make really good stuff. A mate of mine has a gaming one, I think it's MSI but not certain. They cost a bomb but worth it because they tend to last a lot longer than normal non gaming laptops.

Put up a donate button again mate, the site will easily fund you a new laptop - after all the work you put in! I'm sure people, myself included will help out. See, we're in a tricky situation here because if your new laptop is to suddenly die, we're all buggered! The sites will come to a standstill and the world will soon end. Operation: Ed1's new laptop, must begin!

{Ed001's Note - I have never even heard of Kin, I will keep an eye out for it.

I am still not sure if I liked Dept Q after finishing it, but I did watch it all so that suggests it was good enough to keep me watching.

Alienware are owned by Dell now, still around and making good lappies, but they are a bit pricey for what you get. Desktops are better value.

I don't like asking for donations mate. It is bad enough having ads on the sites.}

Kin is definitely worth watching mate, a really good one - I'm surprised I forgot to mention it sooner.

I tried getting a copy of the new Karate kid but the copy is so bad, gutted! I also wouldn't mind watching that new film 'Sinners'.

Oh wow Dell, another blast from the past - I remember in 99/00 (around that time) buying my first computer for home from cash converters and it was a Dell one which I just loved from the moment I got it, a pentium 2! I remember saying at the time that I'll probably still have it in 20 years because computers couldn’t possibly get much better! ?.

As daft as it may sound, I wish I still had an old computer from 25 years ago, and be able to use the old dial up internet again for a one off. Remember downloading a song from limewire and it'd say something like 3 days and 8 hours remaining ?.

{Ed001's Note - I remember that well. And trying to get a video clip like on tok tik or something would take weeks to download. Now it is almost instant. Amazing how things move on.

Have you seen The Bonds man yet?}

Hahaha, so true mate - the youngsters of today don't know the struggle we once had to go through. My God it was painful at times. I remember downloading an album and it took ages, I went to play it on winamp and it wasn't supported! I felt well hard done by lol.

I'm yet to watch the bonds man mate, I think I'll start it after this dept q actually. Did you manage to watch a thousand blows yet? I think I'll watch it again at some point.

{Ed001's Note - yes, I did watch that, it was OK but didn't really stand out for me. I am watching Mr Inbetween again at the moment. I saw the first couple of series of it ages ago, so I thought I would start it again and watch it all the way through. Really good show that.}

Ohhh yes, Mr inbetween, I forgot about that. It's one I saw clips for a while back and I thought it looked good but just never started it. I'll have to note it down so I don't forget it!

I don't know if I've mentioned it before but did you ever watch banshee? For fight scenes it was excellent. I just looked it up and it started in 2013, crazy it doesn't feel that long ago.

{Ed001's Note - yeah I have seen Banshee, it was very good. I need to catch up on Stranger Things and The Boys.}

Ah you see, stranger things I couldn't get into but I think I was way too quick to write it off, I only watched a couple of episodes. Loads of people have recommended it to me since and I'm yet to give it another go.

The boys I've not seen, again I've heard plenty about it though. I should give both a go.

Yesterday somebody told me Heat 2 was getting done this year, I've not looked it up yet but that'd be interesting. Nothing, I'd imagine would beat the first one but it'd be interesting to see where they could take it if it does happen. I just can't imagine it without an in the prime De Niro, Al Pacino and Val kilmer! They were too good in that film.

{Ed001's Note - both are well worth a watch mate.

I saw Heat years ago but don't remember it at all. It didn't stick with me as being anything special, or even particularly good to be honest.}
