More episodes of 'Better Call Saul' on Netflix.

I belatedly started watching the series today and am hooked!

Tony The Toilet Buddy! =))
I am 3 more episodes in and this is some of the best television drama I have ever watched.

These "Kid Snippets" were very popular a while ago.

This one, "Math Class", had me gasping with laughter. Imagined by children, enacted by adults. [2:10]

I am now into the second of six seasons and already the underlying premise of 'Better Call Saul' is beginning to pall, not least the co-dependent and increasingly incredible mutually destructive relationship portrayed between the two lawyer brothers at the heart of this fable, the older of whom is supposedly a legal genius and co-founding partner of a large legal practice in Albuquerque. This genius's ability to operate professionally is comprised by a supposed, most likely psychosomatic, stress related mental illness that sees its symptoms in an aversion to exposure to electromagnetic radiation, that results in him becoming housebound and the ultimate "tinfoil guy without the peanut butter" while still being kept on by the partnership, seemingly in perpetuity, despite his ongoing problems.

Call me old fashioned but my experience of American corporations is that while they might tolerate such eccentricity or illness for a short while, their unsentimental contracts with senior key staff, will include "lunatic member" clauses that make it easier to pay off and let such members go as quickly as possible. I mean nothing says "come and trust our advice and people" more clearly to potential corporate clients than a senior partner who demands that all electronic gadgets are left in buckets outside meeting rooms, and all lights switched off when he is in attendance in a suit with a space blanket sewn into the lining to protect him from the "malignant rays!" =))

Still watchable but there is no way I am going to get to season 6.

Forgive my levity, and no disrespect to Charles Upham, but they don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring!

UK troops lay British soldier killed in US nearly 250 years ago to rest [5:35]

Soldiers from 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland have taken part in the funeral of 13 soldiers killed in a battle during the American revolutionary war in South Carolina nearly 250 years ago.

Their remains were discovered by archaeologists last year at the site of the Battle of Camden in South Carolina.

One of the soldiers was from the British 71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders, a Scottish regiment formed for the Revolutionary War.
