35Mbps is an absolute blessing for me! That's what I have now.
The initial broadband I got in 2007 was 5x the speed of 56k. At the time it seemed amazing!
But then my ISP gave me a router instead of modems.

The highest speed I ever got from 2007 to 2018 was 1.6Mbps !!!! It used to average out at 1.2Mbps. I moved up north in November 2018. The last game I downloaded before moving was Red Dead Redemption 2. That took 8 days.

I have been very accustomed to poor download speeds. Going from 1.2Mbps to 35Mbps at my new place felt like an EXTREME advancement beyond my wildest dreams!

I never watched Legacy. Like you say ...Jack Bauer is 24. That is my type of hero! Nobody yells and points a gun like he does!
His only equal in my eyes was Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead. They knew how to rack up the body counts!
Absolutely, I remember playing 24 the game on the PlayStation 2. It made my dream come true, of being Jack Bauer, yelling as he guns down baddies with no remorse. You could also play as Tony, Rachel, Kim and Chase.

I remember this one mission with Chase, were you had to infiltrate a lab. You needed to get past this receptionist called Melissa. You can knock her out. That made me think of a uniform stealing scenario, of what if Chase was a girl and you could knock the receptionist out and steal her clothes to enter the lab.


I preferred the earlier seasons of TWD, when things were simple. The later seasons were just too po-faced, and it felt like they were running out of ideas. But nobody ruthlessly kicked ass like Rick and Jack.
24 had so much to excite the imagination for uniform stealing! Really wanted Kim in season 3 to lose her clothes!!!

For me Walking Dead started to fumble right after the start of season 7. After the awesome Negan introduction. Problem was that they got complaints about the violence and had to cave into pressure and tone things down going forward.
Season 8 "All out War" was a complete bust out.

Not to get too political but there is a Youtuber called The Critical Drinker who perfectly and frequently explains the problem with shows and films in present day which sums up the reason I pretty much gave up on most TV in general years ago. Not watched BBC or paid the license in years, don't even have an aerial connected, the socket is actually bust and I have zero desire in getting it fixed!

I just stick with the classics from the bygone era!

It was the same for me as well, Season 7 onwards became a washout. Then Rick flown away to gods know where, and that for me was when the TWD stopped being TWD. We don't watch the Beeb either but still play the sodding license.

Mind you, I'am starting to see a trend in streaming site TV shows. That there are more female female uniform stealing scenes creeping in which is a blessing :D


Another Life is just one example, Hanna is another and Kleo as well. We can keep our fingers crossed and hope for me.

And then their are video games as well. It's a good time to be into US that's for sure.

I would say that books and Video games are my biggest source of inspiration, followed closely by movies and TV shows.

Being exposed to all that allowed my imagination to develop, into the overactive ocean it is today. :D

My parents remember when it was just one, the BBC then ITV. Followed by BBC 2

My mum told me once, that her dad had rented a colour TV in 1966, just to watch the World Cup final. She was only 13 at the time.
