Motor Metal Mayhem - Dogtor

scary

I tend to agree with you about the presence of the new guy (can't remember his name) not being the same as John Nettles. He's not a bad actor, he's just not the Barnaby that the show was grown on. But I liked Sgt Troy and DS Jones more than I liked the more recent guys too. I also think original Barnaby's wife did a better job at solving the cases for him that new Barnaby's wife does, the new one just doesn't come across as natural in the role of expert case solver and wife.

Bergerac was brilliant. We used to get a lot of first run UK cop shows on our local ABC but these days most of our free to air channels seem to cycle through the old classics. The Bill didn't need to be repeated it went forever anyway, but these days we still get regulars like Morse, George Gently, Rosemary and Thyme, Silent Witness, Foyles War, Endeavour, Lewis, Frost. I've seen a lot of them when they first aired, but still watch some of them when I'm channel surfing and find nothing else to watch.

I also liked the little more off beat ones like Wire In The Blood, Life On Mars, Jonathan Creek and New Tricks.

Dropkick Murphys - Signed And Sealed In Blood

My stupidest dreams are in shorter sleeps. I only sleep 2-3 hours at a time these days but if I am asleep only an hour that's when I tend to wake from dreams, and the sillier of them usually happen in the early hours of the morning around 1 or 2 AM.

Judas Priest - Painkiller

(for the genius like lyrics of course)

While the Painkiller lyrics were genuinely brilliant lets not forget Bruce sung that wonderful song about having an Italian drummer in his band. There aren't many songs in the metal world that rival that classic.

As a fan of Kreator and Sodom, I don't mind the terrible lyrics.

 

Haha. Sodom's are even better when you run them through a German translator and then run those words back through an English translator. (Sometimes bordem drives us to strange things)

Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick

Sacred Reich - Ignornace

Psych was stupidly fun and most of the time interesting.

I used to watch all the Midsummer Murders but I'm not a huge fan of the newer Barnaby, it's not that the new actor is that bad but I don't think he's had the best sidekicks.

Not sure if it's more a cop show or a murder mystery but there is a NooZuland show called The Brokenwood Mysteries which I quite like too.

What? Painkiller is not a literary masterpiece?

I'm shocked. I don't think I can read any more.

Both Maiden, Bruce being particularly involved, and now Rob are in the ale game.

To be fair Rob has been careful to never say he is anti-drinking, despite being a recovering alcoholic. However, this strikes me as one business venture an alcoholic just shouldn't get into. It's like a vegan buying shares in a factory farm.

It's not just that he is sober, but he brings it up in every second interview, just like those blasted vegans do.

This has been something that has surprised me over the years too. Booze must be a very lucrative side business for musos as more and more of them are getting into it. Some just put their name to it and seemingly have very little to do with the product but others get really involved. Mustaine pushing his wine as often as he does has always seemed like the wrong business venture for him too.
