What can people who're in mourning because they've watched all of the Wire watch next?

And what did you expect?

JackBauer · 23/11/2009 12:49

TheArmadillo, I would like to know about the other meaning though.....

OmicronPersei8 · 23/11/2009 12:50

Sorry, what did you expect of MN, not Macs or life in general...

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:50

After The Wire, move onto Mad Men if you haven't already. If you can find it, try the French crime thriller 'Spiral' (but don't tell me what happens in Spiral series 2 as I haven't seen that yet).

Or illegally download all six seasons of the Larry Sanders Show, just like I recently didn't.

Botbot · 23/11/2009 12:50

SGM, no, he did a column about all mac users being ponces (I paraphrase).

Charlie- did you watch Come Dine with Me yesterday? If you didn't, (unlike me I suspect you have better things to do) I suggest you go and watch it immediately.
It was THantastic (it's worth watching alone for this, my friend Mark got in such a rage he gave himself a dead leg with his own fist).

I await Saturday's Screen Burn on the topic please.

TheFoosa · 23/11/2009 12:52

Mad Men is brilliant, do you like True Blood?

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:52

TheArmadillo, I used to play the Judge Dredd roleplaying game as a teen. I like Fallout 3 if that counts.

I don't like all this MMORPG World of Warcraft orcs-and-chainmail business though. Just don't 'get' it. It's like a horrible typeface I'm never going to warm to: simply not for me.

Also: don't like the idea of having to mix with real disappointing people in a made-up fantasy realm. Talk about cognitive dissonance.

Skegness · 23/11/2009 12:53

Thanks.

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:53

TheFoosa, I have True Blood waiting on my shelf. The series, not the fluid.

SixtyFootDoll · 23/11/2009 12:53

Do you think Jordan really walked or is it all a stunt?

MissGreatBritain · 23/11/2009 12:53

Would you consider taking part in one of the shit programmes reality shows?

jackBauer

we once had some one running out our house as we suggested a group RP and they were imagining all kinds of dodgy shit. That was really funny.

OmicronPersei8 · 23/11/2009 12:54

Can I just say you fit right in here - you should hang around (although a namechange might be advisable to avoid the fawning). Would it be a little humiliating if you became addicted to MN like we all are though? Just because it's MUMsnet, although we prefer to affectionately refer to ourselves as a nest of vipers.

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:55

Prunerz, because I'm puerile I'm afraid.

preggersplayspop · 23/11/2009 12:56

Hi Charlie

I think I am about to give birth. Any advice?

Ponymum · 23/11/2009 12:57

I know I'm not supposed to nag but I do think the question about your love life is "in the public interest". Even if you do just say 'Piss off, none of your business.'

JackBauer · 23/11/2009 12:58

Would you come back in 'disguise'?

(Although if you do I would avoid Friday night...)

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/11/2009 12:58

good Q missgreatbritain

i watched the screenwipe where you made your own version of The Apprentice...you wore a crown.....did you secretly enjoy shouting or did you just get embarrassed...you looked a bit silly see....and terribly apologetic at having to shout at those poor people

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:58

Oblong, I'd stay at the Guardian. In terms of 'the Murdoch shilling', I'm not so militant as to think less of, say, Matt Groening for using it to make something as great as The Simpsons. Would I write for The Sun? No. But they wouldn't want me either. Would I write for The Times? That's trickier.

Fortunately, the Guardian pay me 15 million pounds a year so I'm not even tempted to budge.

Prunerz · 23/11/2009 12:59

Tut tut Charlie.
