        The water companies were privatised years ago, they now flush raw sewage into the rivers and sea thousands of times a year. - LMS Jul 3, 07:18
"The Terminal List is bleak" is right. And feels like a movie (like Chris Pine's The Contractor) so I have no sense of where it's going as a series. -- nm - Max Jul 2, 22:49
You know, I don’t particularly care about Ezra Miller and hate that they have become the new Jussie Smollett. There I said it. -- nm* - Qale As Folk Jul 2, 22:09 1
