Ah, I see I'm currently missing Vincent Price minor effort "City Under The Sea" -- good but not great, but it would have been better than work.

I genuinely don't know what to make of this, I don't even know if it's a real poster or someone's wacky art but I know I'd be *very* confused if I got a DVD with this cover. Can't say I don't like it, mind.

I don't know how to link in my own post but I said exactly this yesterday: bsky.app/profile/alas...

Explain a film plot badly: Virgin's over-protective father causes trouble for military detachment.

There'll be a couple of relatives of mine in there somewhere. (This is probabaly where I get my sunny disposition)

Outland is one of the few Connery movies I can stand to rewatch. I remember the trailers as a youngster.

Edge of the Costorphine area here and it was very noisy but that seemed to be in the next set of streets over, our local park (inside the zone) seemed relatively quiet this year. Dog still spent night in hiding, though.

Doubtless soo to see "Company linked to Michelle Mone to declare bunkruptcy to get out of tax bill"

@swansonian.bsky.social, this seems relevant to your interests

Not sure number 1 means the same to me as it does to Amazon.

GET THEM, ELLA

A little later the frost had gone but the light showed up :) Vestrahorn, Stokksnes #Iceland

I love that you can distinctly hear a member of the studio audience laughing while repeating the "gin and port" line

I can't help wondering if any kind of detailed study might be called for to see if there was any reason why long-term illness might have had such a suddden uptick since 2019.

Wife saw John Lewis ad without sound and couldn't decide if it was a mental health charity ad or a stark reminder about trauma until the end came up.

This linen dress is 4,500 years old! On display in the Egyptian exhibition at the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge. fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk

Hey archaeology contacts, just thought I'd drop a mention here for The Caithness Broch project who have recently secured planning permission to build an actual iron age broch up in Caithness. It's a cool project (and not just because my cousin co-founded it). www.thebrochproject.co.uk

This is one of my favourite TPTV old reliables -- Peter Vaughan is joyous in a film that really really feels like it's a pilot for a series that was sadly never made.

Christmas special title to be The Controversy Machine

Oh. Fine.

Having lots of pre-migraine symptoms -- yawning, thirsty, unexpected emotions. Have taken my traditional migraine remedy* hoping to stave off the aura/pencil in the eye/nausea post-pre-migraine symptoms. * strong drugs

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings Like and subscribe to my works ye mighty Number five will make you despair! (Late to the party, I don't even know why there was a party)

"Tough" is code for "mostly affecting the poor". It would be "tough" for a donor-dependent party to, say, equalise income tax with tax on investment income and rental or increase stamp duty on properties above £1M but "tough" here will be freezing the minimum wage or something.

My wife's determination to get me things to listen to on my vintage cassette deck continues unabated.

My random instrumental playlist started Journey of the Sorceror and I couldn't listen to it because it didn't have Peter Jones over the start

This could be an Irish woman

The cats would like me to think about what I have done

So the next one will be 'Godzilla: Plus One'?

Monday

The struggle* is real. * to get my dog to take her heart meds twice a day

I have spent all day painting my hall. I wish I had the talent to present a painting of my hall.

There are three important factors in getting an eggshell finish when gloss painting woodwork: 1. Choice of paints and brushes 2. Preparation of surfaces 3. Not having cats.

Peter Watkins died yesterday. While "The War Game" will be celebrated and lionised, it's "Culloden" that knocks me sideways. This obituary makes me want to find his Scandinavian works. www.bfi.org.uk/features/pet...

I know there are other things going on but I just wanted to post that my wife bought me these on marketplace as a surprise.

Fuck me, I had no idea this was a thing but it really explains a lot of my past interactions.

Did you find it?

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

Sorry to see Prunella Scales has gone. I'm lost for a decent tribute but as both Sybill Fawlty and canal boater Prunella Scales she managed to be compulsive viewing to both my older and younger self.

See, here's the thing. I know she's a bad person but, as far as she's concered it all worked out for her. She's got the money, the lifestyle, the rich circle of "friends" etc. You have to take her money off her and jail her. Or she keeps going and going. Seize the funds and jail her.

Top notch film, Plummer an excellent Holmes (Mason seems a bit too much in the Nigel Bruce mould for me but works really well with Plummer. I always think Watson is a far harder part to cast than Holmes)

Would watch.

OK.

There are two types of people in the world: those that know how to think of a punchline

Probably just a fly up there or something. No big deal.

Went to Pittenweem. Lost my glasses. Mixed fortunes kind of day.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

There is a long and dishonorable history of home secretaries proudly espousing proposals that would have barred their own families from the UK had they been in force at the time. It's very curious.

My wife wanted to cover an annoying nail hole in the wall.

Let's start Friday, then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaIN...
