    What a plank!

    As the days tick by it becomes more and more clear that a lot of people had no idea what they were campaigning for, never mind what they were voting for.

    EDIT: The replies to an AM's tweet about it are interesting. https://twitter.com/RhunapIorwerth/status/803599871303417857

    "Why bother trying to have a trading relationship with Ireland when we can just have a big one with the USA!" kind of thing.

    And do you know who will pay for the wall. Mexico. Mexico will pay for the wall.

    A lot of people are saying that.

    Does anyone watch westworld. Amazing episode last night.

    Finally got around to watching it - jaaaaaaysus
    Like I'll agree with the poster who was saying the show was slow (I was still enjoying it though) after the brilliant pilot but wow, this episode was just nuts

    Yeah it's right up there with the best episode of anything I've ever watched. Insane.

    Is this Westworld ye are talking about?

    I still think it's a bit average. Watched the latest episode and whilst it tied a couple of things together, much of it was heavily telegraphed for a few episodes now.

    I think I could enjoy the acting and cinematography even if the script was spoiled.

    I read an article yesterday which I was trying to find for you. The basic gist of it was, that it is predictable if you read reddit. Reddit just throws **** on the wall early and sees what sticks. I'm not sure I'd have predicted it on my own. There was some stuff I got, but some stuff I didn't. Also there are some twists people are assuming have been confirmed but clearly haven't yet.

    But twists have to be foreshadowed. If they aren't foreshadowed they're not interesting for the audience, they're just the writer being a dick. So unfortunately if you're going to read about it online, any decent show will be somewhat spoilered.

    I don't have kids either. It's a great show in fairness.

    Tubridy is a lot better these days than he used to be.

    Tubridy just isn't suited to this type of show. So forced. My kids are loving it though

    I think he's good at it, better than I'd be anyway! :D

    I'd say the christmas lists are fairly expanding Synode, probably expensive watching this show!

    He's a world better than anyone else who's ever done it though.

    Not an easy job and I think his manner is good with kids.

    Sure is. It's going to be on repeat now until Xmas day (aggggghhhh). Between it and the Argos catalogue (their bible the last few weeks), I reckon they know and want every toy out there

    That "what do your mum and dad talk about" was a very dangerous question to ask :D

    Anyone else just a little bit disturbed by 8 year olds collectively singing "I've got this feeling in my body"?
