Always preferred Christmas from a distance. Like the good it brings out in people towards each other but enjoy being alone. Since living with my partner obliged to spend it with her family, & her Mum fucking loves the tacky, bullshit, capitalist side that's abhorrent to me. Increasingly intolerable

I despise this affectation of including 'hear me out' in a post. When I encounter it, that's where I stop reading. What's written should hold the readers attention enough without the plea

First time at a metal/Goth club some 30 odd years ago. Mates & I sat on a beer garden bench. Random feller sat at the end of the bench, silent & unsmiling. As dusk became dark became night it was revealed he was wearing glow in the dark facepaint, drawn in a wonderful smile. Think of him often

IMO that's a very small element of the 1st season. If you enjoyed the 1st episode, then you might enjoy the rest once that part's done
Biased because I think it's a masterpiece
If you decide to go back to it, don't look anything up about it, but commit to finishing S01. Would love your thoughts

Led a fairly debauched life when younger. At 43, it occurred to me that I'd come through the madness pretty healthy all told. Later the same afternoon I had that thought, I threw my knee out as I sat down onto the sofa

To be explicit, I am critical of you for this post, & you've minimised other criticism with "because I added a link?" type responses. No, not because you added a link, because you started your reply to someone close to bombs landing with "Was it too hard for you to add a link?"
