    What's the crack with it, is it tongue in cheek?

    I only made it through a handful of episodes of The Walking Dead before I got bored and that had zombies, allegedly anyway. I lost interest when I realised that the message is that 'man is the real monster' and they were going to beat you over the damn head with it every episode.

    Aye.

    Zombies and gore. But it does have a rather vague storyline.

    Save the Murphy. Half human half zombie.

    For a serious viewer. No

    For someone like me who watches tv for footy on sat and sun and this one programme. No

    My tv must be switched on less than 12 hours a week now.

    It's about the build up, actual bombing and the years that followed of a Nuclear world world war set in...wait for it... Sheffield! <laugh>

    It was a made for TV film by the bbc in the 80s and it's very very good. Some would say harrowing.

    Can't we upload videos on this thing from our devices? I've just filmed an excited Newcastle fan and I think he has a Hernia mid celebration, either that or the elastic goes in his Primani Jeans.

    Not this nonsense:

    I like it, I don't know if it's something primal but it makes me want to bone them when they're on a hottie.

    Very true, on most girls it looks like they've just let themselves go but on the ones who pull it off it's one of the sexiest looks ever. Like I said I wouldn't be surprised if it was a primal thing, it seems to stir those instincts in me.

    Here's another pic of the same girl as before, she's the lead in a TV show I'm watching and the whole time I'm just thinking about boning her. The eyebrows have me.

    Nissan is demanding guarantees from the Government over the impact from Brexit on its business before it commits to future investment at Britain's biggest car plant.

    The Japanese manufacturer wants the UK to pledge compensation for any tax barriers that may be raised as a result of leaving the European Union.

    Nissan's Sunderland plant is its biggest factory in Europe, with a capacity of 500,000 vehicles a year.

    It represents around a third of Britain's total car output.

    The plant's 6,700 workers turn out Juke, Qashqai and Leaf models, many of them for export to the continent.

    Image Caption:A Nissan production line in Sunderland
    Nissan is due to decide early next year on where to build its next Qashqai vehicle.

    But there are fears among car makers that Britain could be heading towards a "hard Brexit" which would leave them paying tariffs to export UK-made cars to Europe.

    Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn told reporters at the Paris motor show: "If I need to make an investment in the next few months and I can't wait until the end of Brexit, then I have to make a deal with the UK Government.

    "You can have commitments of compensation in case you have something negative.

    "If there are tax barriers being established on cars, you have to have a commitment for carmakers who export to Europe that there is some kind of compensation.

    "If these kinds of principles are accepted we can go ahead because it will neutralise some of our concerns.

    "We would like to stay. We're happy, we have a good plant, which is productive but we cannot stay if the conditions do not justify that we stay."

    Video:No Regrets: Sunderland Still Backs Brexit
    Sunderland voted overwhelmingly to leave the European Union in the 23 June referendum, with 61% or 82,394 of 134,400 voting out.

    Across the North East only one of 12 areas - Newcastle - vote to stay in the EU.

    Mr Ghosn's comments echo concerns from fellow Japanese car maker Toyota.

    It said the imposition of duties as part of a Brexit deal would make running its English plant "very, very tough".

    Britain's mainly foreign-owned car industry employs more than 800,000 people according to industry data.

    It exported 1.2 million cars last year, most of them to European countries.
