Must admit? Is enjoying a history doco just a guilty pleasure or an actual sin?

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
OK, so try Deep State maybe, although perhaps they aren't following the CIA and MI6 handbooks correctly! The US are trying to destabilise Mali to force a US base onto the country. Two years on and two MI6 officers are involved for a personal agenda and upset plans. Half way in and I'm finding it enj...

Re: 30฿ Healthcare - National Registration
This isn’t new is it - my wife has been covered for as long as I’ve known her? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Respectfully he didn't say it's new, he said taking new registrations! I wonder if there are queues, given that most poor Thais I know are already registered. PS - see that BB has menti...

Re: Fitbit or similar worn health smart devices
Sadly there's only me in my house as of last year. The function I like is the cardiovascular check, arterial monitoring, even can different between say a problem with right arm/leg over left, but I won't pay to have it imported!

Re: Fitbit or similar worn health smart devices
Thanks guys, I've ordered the Amazfit Active in black. Not the cheapest but has good range of functions and it's not as bulky as some of their range!

Fitbit or similar worn health smart devices
I'm 67 and just starting to consider looking after myself a bit: doing moderate exercise, watching weight, I monitor blood pressure but all OK, not much else (sausage roll and espresso for breakfast will not be cancelled). Does anyone use a Fitbit or other wrist device to monitor body health? Are th...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Just a heads up, Ridley Scott's Gladiator II is due out in November this year. :) It's a sequel (they had also considered a prequel): Director Ridley Scott mentions that since he was last seen approximately 15 years ago, Lucius has been living "in the wilderness" with no connection with hi...

Don't be expecting a thriller or horror film though.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
The Thai film Hunger is maybe too long for some at 2 hrs 20 mins, and subtitled. Apart from the twisted driven chef of the five star restaurant (think The Menu ) and the two gross food eating scenes (think Raw but without the cannibalism) it's about eating as an act of hunger for status versus eatin...

Re: Android TV box
Is he not fussed about Android version, processor, connections (how many USB ports, HDMI, SD card slot), LAN port, etc.? Lazada is the best way to browse. I use mine as much to play files from an external drive as I do for IPTV. If he really can't wait I would have thought you should get one in Mark...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Granite Harbour was quite good, a suspected murder wrapped up in three one hour episodes, second series already out. A Jamaican ex royal military policeman wants to be a detective and joins the Scottish constabulary as a probationer, but doesn't want to waste time toeing the line.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
The turn off for me was the pre-1940s way the movie was made. I never gave the story a chance :oops: It was slightly more advanced than Keystone Cops to look at, which was probably quite clever cinematography in 1980. I'm sure there must be something special for 404cameljockey to have had it as his...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Spy/Master is worth watching (unless you're not a subtitles person, they're needed although most dialogue is in English). The first three episodes are really excellent 1970s Eastern European spy work, the last three episodes are pretty good too.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
I'm a bit wary of recommending anything other than films with guns and explosions, or sci-fi now. But for anyone interested in Charles Dickens' personal life and his heavily suspected affair with Ellen Ternan, The Invisible Woman is a lovely film with a great cast. The romance is handled correctly, ...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Younger people do I think mainly because they're scrolling their phones all the time and find it easier to check the subs than pay attention to all of the dialogue. :D For me it's quite the opposite: I don't like subtitles, because I'm often watching while doing something else, like cooking or hous...
