Six episodes into season two of the Wire now. There’s a different feel to this season so far. Much more comic now we know the characters and things that might have played as disturbing or confusing are just laugh out loud funny.

( You have all heard of WorldCom? )

( It don't matter that some fool say he different )

( Boats and tides and whatever )

I tried to record Dr Who but the new PVR kept giving me too many automatic options so I ending up doing it by hand and screwing up the timing so all we got was 70 minute more of sodding boat race than I ever want to see.

( Thank God for the iPlayer. )

In other TV news probably re-watching Boys from the Black Stuff is not the best idea when in the middle of finally claiming DLA (Disability Living Allowance). A letter came from the DWP asking for additional information. It could be a trick. Although times have changed and we really should have claimed from the beginning. You have to get people’s names on the books, get them into the system or no one will believe them when they do need to claim. I know why we didn’t. When they were diagnosed it didn’t feel as if money was the main problem and the form is a 50 page behemoth on which every question is an invitation to betray your children by explaining what a burden they are. I wasn’t ready for that then.
