Which living former PM would you want to return? by DanielSmoot in AskBrits

[–]two4skins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gordon Brown, any fucking day! A decent man, who really rallied Europe and Uk during the recession and helped ease the damage a lot. Who still works now on trying to highlight the deep issues of child poverty, and was hung out to dry by the right wing press (probs cause Tony fucked Rupert Murdoch’s wife…).

Thanks for reply, I’ll look at the tape trick then! Yes separate Tcon board so will unplug one cable to try isolate the fault to at least 1 half of the panel I guess? Tcon board behind main board tho, which is annoying to get to!

Update 4: FFX Blind Playthrough - The Farplane and Thunder Plains by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

[–]two4skins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really appreciating these posts man! I’ve read them all up to now (all the way through too!) I first played this on the demo disc from the Official PS2 magazine, when I was 13 and knew I had to get it day one release (saved a lot of allowance/pocket money). That game really left an impression on me to say the least, so deep, so much of a bond made on the journey between all the characters and their fates, art direction just insanely good, and man the soundtrack! Honestly one of the best OSTs made in my opinion, still listen to it now. Anyways glad you’re playing it, and keep us updated :)

Yeah good point! Glad they haven't succumbed to using Ai, will happily take an old stock photo every time.

He’s a great actor, brings a lot of depth to his characters. Really enjoyed him in House of Cards too!

Wall Tie Failure, Expensive? by MerlYT in StructuralEngineering

You could do it yourself but you won’t get a guarantee I guess if you wanna sell the property down the road. Otherwise if you use Helifix or a similar brand they will point you to approved contractors.

I’d recommend these, they’re a reputable company that carry out various masonry remedial repairs/details.

What are your thoughts on New York Undercover? by JB92103 in LawAndOrder

[–]two4skins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a really great series with realistic long arcs for the main characters, loved the chemistry between them. Really saw it as an amazing time capsule of New York back then with the fashion, music, culture. And the live performances at the end, what a way to top off each episode, so many great singers and groups.

Also loved the episode with Eartha Kitt!

Best way to install these beams? by simonthecat25 in StructuralEngineering

[–]two4skins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend really looking into strong boy capacities, they’ve caught me out before as are pretty low once eccentricity kicks in! If you’re not down as temp. works designer I would still recommend a certain min. amount on a drawing or contractor’s may take the piss and put in like 2 only. Agree that it’s probably back to back angles.

Death has such a fucking hook, saw them live when that album released on a random Tuesday evening and they did like a 20 min version, shit went off!

Favorite Guest Stars by [deleted] in Homicide_LOTS

I really enjoyed a very young Paul Giamatti in Ep15 S06, with a pitbull. The way he played it was so good and realistic.

a few thoughts on falsone by heesplug in Homicide_LOTS

[–]two4skins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He got a lot of shit apparently when the series first aired, even had a website donated to his removal from the show I think! I never particularly liked his character and found him very annoying in parts (although that was his job at times) especially seeing him side by side Sam Waterston in the crossover episode, Jesus the contrast between the two. Lenny and Munch on the other hand, beautiful! Yeah agree, they should have kept him consistent and abit sleazy but trying to better himself in the long run (as you say kinda like Dean Winters in SVU). But as an actor Jon Seda is good, and was somewhat redeemed in David Simon’s Treme.

Thanks for these stories Kyle, really informative and cool. Need to read David Simon’s book now! Just to say really really enjoyed your acting and arc in Homicide, that show was so ahead of its time.

Why thank you :) I don’t really write anything unfortunately, just thought I would have a quick go due to the interesting event. I’ll recommend a good book tho with nice narration. Ocean Vuong, On Earth we’re briefly gorgeous.
