Pearl, I agree Slow Horses is Brilliant! I have continued to watch more episodes of LOTSW and it is STARTING work its magic again... well until Goff Helliwell showed up! :08:

Wstol I checked out that list and believe it or not have actually seen MOST of them!! **^^<:

Can beat you all......MANY moons ago...Over TEN! when we last decorated for Christmas, SWMBO got some of those thin plastic "patches" of Xmas themed scenes that stick on your windows by surface tension alone...STILL THERE!!!!

Terry...sorry but I find Still Game unwatchable, despite it being Scottish and despite it having actors who worked with Rikki Fulton (Loved Scotch and Wry!). Told you I had weird tastes LOL

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately "down" periods are part of my life it has been clinically diagnosed as SEVERE depression AND Dysthymia, apparently they call it double depression! While I am much improved since I retired I am generally not a very happy bunny at the best of times. Lately everything...

On the UP side....the wife found a shipment of "LEES SNOWBALLS" had arrived at a local supermarket. These are practically impossible to find over here, I have literally not seen a single one in about 3 years and that was a pure accident. They just do not transport over here either "well" or AT...

Been feeling a bit down lately, with life in general and other "events" which have happened lately in the world, so I thought I would return to what used to cheer me up and rewatch LOTSW as I haven't watched it for quite some time. (I pretty much know all the dialogue by heart) I even decided...

And we think OUR petrol is expensive!!! Prices have come down a bit from their high a few months ago and today basic 91RON petrol here is about $1.60 per litre. Given the current exchange rate that equates to about 80p per litre. It has been as high as about $2.25/litre. The higher grades of...

Not as good as the original but LIGHT YEARS ahead of the abysmal abomination of the Ozzy spin off "Return to Paradise" which aired this year. I managed about 5 minutes of ep1....most of it on fast forward before having to rush off for a technicolour yawn!

Veggie bacon roll......How Dare you sir! Hand in your notice IMMEDIATELY! For what activity you ask.... EVERYTHING! A Veggie substitute ANYTHING is an abomination!! Oh Yes....and for Bacon roll my choice is not red its TOMATO! I find Non denominational Houses of Parliament sauce a little to...

You had a LAKE??? In my day you were lucky to get a puddle! We would have killed for hot gravel you LUCKY SOD!

Just for Bora! Physical fitness was also a big consideration when I joined. At THAT time here in Oz we were not routinely armed. Our basic "fighting kit" so to speak consisted of a short baton (about a foot or so long...more of a truncheon!) and handcuffs That was it! If you walked the beat you...

Back in the '70s when I joined the "thin blue line" her in oz, not only was there a height restriction which from memory was something like 5'8 to 5'10 (cannot remember exactly) but there was also a "chest expansion" restriction. Your chest was measured after you had EXhaled and taken again...

Adanor, I am not going down the Rabbit hole of who, what, where, when, why things happen or what is right or wrong....wrong forum for that. My point was that too much is made, particularly on Social Media and by politicians of what I call "Sound Bite" information, without usually ANY real...

I don't know if their tickets were checked, but I bet if a train had been coming the other way they would certainly be "punched! LOL

In an effort to at least appear fair and balanced, I just viewed several of the official video's/press releasees of the Sirius Jet. I am even MORE convinced that this is a niche "gimmick". Without even trying, just as a lay person with basic knowledge I can see MASSIVE problems in trying to get...

Grrrr...sorry but this has triggered my OCD. I am going to TRY and keep of the main soapbox here but need to point out a few things. Before I start, I am NOT a climate change denier and I Do believe we need to reduce carbon emissions, but the "Sound-Bite" news reporting and politician speak we...

OK old Sci-fi fans. The Gerry Anderson thread got me triggered!:01: Lets see who can remember a show contemporary with Anderson.. Initials S.P. Can anyone remember Colonel Raeburn and Marla? and are Yobba Rays on...or off????

I am sad to admit that I have diecast models of Fireball XL5, Supercar and Stingray!:fp: Grew up watching them, particularly Fireball and Supercar! For me Stingray was a little later and because by then we were living in the "bush" here in Oz and we had limited TV options (1 channel and NOT a...

LOL..FINALLY!! someone twigged! :) :)
