Pretty good second episode, definitely think this will be a solid show.

Will be interesting to see how Mike ends up working with Saul, and how Saul becomes Saul.

Breaking Bad spin-off about everyone's favourite sleazy lawyer:

First episode aired last night in the States, the second airs tonight.

Thought the first episode looked promising, will be interesting to see where this goes.

Didn't have anything to drink tonight so I made some homemade ice tea. Turned out pretty awesome.

Whiplash was very good. Think I'll see Birdman on Monday.

I did, and it was my favourite, but that was about a year ago. I think I got through it all in one sitting. I can't remember the details though so I might give it a re-listen soon.

That's the one that got me hooked about a month ago. Really mind-opening, changed how I look at the nuclear bombings entirely.

They're amazing. So informative. I've been meaning to listen to the Mongols series for some time now.

Listened to the one about the nuclear bomb and "logical insanity"?

Call your blog the Alan Pardew Project.

On a related note, I'd suggest "Liquid Football".

Yeah cause everything would have been fine if we'd just let it happen.

Considering how history unfolded after the war, Britain is arguably the biggest loser of the major powers involved. I'm not sure guaranteeing Belgian neutrality is a cause worth losing an empire and 2% of your total population for, if the British leadership at the time had the wisdom of hindsight available to them, I'm not sure that they would make the decision they made.

Imperial Germany were naughty boys, invading neutral Belgium, being the first to use chemical weapons and carrying out indiscriminate submarine warfare, but the First World War was hardly some great battle between good and evil, only a giant clusterfuck triggered by the web of pacts, alliances, agreements and guarantees the great powers of Europe had made in the preceding century. Calling countries not bound by such agreements "spineless nancies" for not entering the war reeks of ignorance and stupidity, especially when you know what an unspeakable tragedy the war was for anyone who was involved in it.

The ignorance of ianbakers comment is is further heightened by the fact that he's chastising a neutral power for remaining neutral, when the United Kingdom entered the war to defend the right of neutral powers to do exactly that. On top of that, had Sweden entered the war it would almost certainly have been on the German's side, the Swedish elites at the time were germanophiles and our greatest historical antagonist was a member of the Entente, recapturing or liberating Finland would have been the only conceivable reason for Sweden to enter the war.

About how you lot were spineless nancies?

Better to be a "spineless nancy" than send an entire generation of young men to slaughter in some muddy Belgian field for nothing.

The Hardcore History podcast is absolutely

Been listening to the series about the first world war over the past two weeks and it's just incredible.

Phone interview tomorrow for a position that actually uses the technologies I want to use and is extremely relevant to my interests.

Bit awkward though given that I've only been in my current job for a year

Break a leg mate!

I am by no means a militant atheist and generally dislike pushing my views upon others, but I came across this interview answer by Stephen Fry that was just too good not to share:

Fry's argument is essentially how I feel about the subject, and the shocked facial expressions of the interviewer are just priceless.

I like Costa but how can you say he's not a thug.

Seems like Mou has got all you idiots believing there is some FA conspiracy against you.

Not some thug? Fuck right off.

Yep, we all know the real FA conspiracy is against Leicester City!
