    Hey MarkDoc!   Nice to see you again.    I still have a lingering scent in my nostrils from when we visited Lush in London together.   Hope all is well.

    I'm currently running a Blades in the Dark game, and of the baked into the setting gang bosses, Baszo Baz, always comes out like Alfie Solomons from Peaky Blinders.

    "The feds are calling the shots on this one, my hands are tied" - followed by maverick cop solving the whole case without backup
     
    "You and I are not so different" - by villain to hero even when this isn't remotely true
     
    Vehicles exploding with very little provocation.
     
    Guys being kicked in the balls presented as funny
     
    Characters from outside the US all conforming to a single "type" except possibly for one exception either as a bad guy or good guy.

    Agreed... Peaky Blinders is one of the best things on TV in the past five years.

    Peaky Blinders is fantastic.  The best show on Netflix now that House of Cards lost Spacey.

    I know I am probably very late to the party on this one but I recently binge-watched Peaky Blinders series 1 through 4.   Utterly brilliant.   Compelling storytelling and a superb soundtrack, with cinematography that I swear was so good you could freezeframe at any point and talk about just why everything in the shot was perfectly composed. 
     
    For those not in the know - it's a drama series about a family of illegal bookmakers and their rise through the underworld set immediately after World War I, and it is tremendous.

    2000AD Flesh strip?
     
    If I remember rightly the spiders were attracted to sound and someone managed to lure them into a trap with a radio playing "Yellow Rose of Texas."
    A week later in a school singing lesson that very song came up and I whispered to my pal "Careful the spiders don't get you!" - he exclaimed "What spiders?" at the top of his voice and the teacher made me explain.
     
    Ah, memories.

    Yes that is the one. But it was called something else over here.
    A fantastic comic. So much imagination and raw energy.

    Having been absent from the world of RPG for some time I'm now in the middle of somewhat of a roleplaying revival and seem to be busier than ever with it so naturally I need more excuses to eat up time that I should be better spending elsewhere, hence my reappearance here.   What did I miss?
