Nah, my daughter rarely eats them so the dog generally gets them after i've finished.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

OK, just finished season 1 of The Leftovers. And although I wouldn't recommend it, I wish someone would watch it just to confirm I'm not a complete idiot.

10 episodes and I have no damn idea what any of it was about. None!

I finished Season 1 of American Horror Story, loved it. I am now onto Season 2, I am a bit mixed about season 2 early. I will give it a chance to see how it unfolds.

Also going to have to get season 3 as it comes out in 16 days, and maybe see if I can watch Season 4 online. Season 4 is Freakshow, sounds very interesting.

When I want to watch some-one's left-overs, I watch channel 7.

I watched the first episode of the Flash on Saturday. I could watch it for free on the CW website if it wasn't for the regional coding restrictions so I had to download it.

Haven't caught up with Arrow yet, it's back on in the US but Fox8 is only showing series one and FTA isn't doing anything so wtf do they expect people to do?

I still want to know where Beth is!

Watching Halt & Catch Fire at the moment. I like it, not sure everyone would like it though.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543312/
The early 1980s was the early heyday of the technological revolution. Silicon Prairie, centered on Dallas, was one area in the US where much of the activity in this sector was happening.

There were a few "name" corporate players in each sector, such as International Business Machines (IBM) in personal computers (PC), Xerox in document management, and Texas Instruments (TI) in semiconductors.

Standard corporate practice was to improve technology gradually and charge customers a premium for successive technologically advanced models of products.

Within this framework, there were many dreamers, often working in smaller companies or for themselves, who wanted their small, or not so small, piece of the pie, whether it be for fortune and/or fame, the latter often in having a lasting legacy.

Those dreams also varied, from only doing things better than their competitors, however small, to producing things that were revolutionary for the time, that made the general public go "wow", as were the rationale for those dreams.
Looking at giving the following a go soon: Turn, Tyrant & Silicon Valley.

^Tried watching that but gave up after 4 episodes or so.

Found it boring with a care factor of zero for the characters.
