Netflix lockdown list

There’s nothing worse than yet another lockdown Netflix list. Sons Of Anarchy Heard about this series from Linux Outlaws many years ago. Jax Teller is a very handsome man.

Last week, the husband and wife owners travelled to France in an attempt to diversify and increase dwindling sales. Amazingly, they chose to translate their business proposition using Babelfish which may be adequate for children’s homework but resulted in an unfortunate translation of ‘conservatory’ to ‘music academy’....
