A pity they didn't axe the TV licence in the budget so we're not doubletaxed to keep some of them in the style they are accustomed to.

We're not being double taxed on it. we'd be mad to axe tv licence as it would mean RTE would stop producing some of the excellent but not commerically strong items that they do.

Replying To slayer:  "If the island of Ireland is included, does the show Blue Lights cover a lot of what Lockjaw mentions?

As an aside - big fan of both the Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Both had unforgettable, iconic scenes where the acting was superb.

I've never watched a minute of the Wire. Worth a watch?"
I would actually class the wire, sopranos and breaking bad as the top three ever made. Prison break would have if they'd ended it earlier.
