There's defo some autistic teenage kid out there who's had way more of an impact.

But they're a teenager, not a 91 year old man with some letters after their name.

Mr. Gwadien. BSc, MSc, PhD, CunT.

Like that?

Threads is on BBC4 tonight, hopefully that means Iplayer.

If you have kids, make them watch it.

Well that certainly brings back some memories. I remember being shown that in a school class with no idea what we were about to watch - like wtf were they thinking?! It traumatized me and still might be the most terrifying film I've ever seen.

I just checked, it will be airing on iPlayer too. I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch it again.

I can't remember when I first saw it, but it's haunting. It puts any ideas about surviving a nuclear war to bed.

I'm now a Bikeability instructor. Teaching primary school kids how to cycle on the roads. Not a main job, that's still TV, but a little side gig that hopefully will provide some respite when TV is quiet.

It's quite rewarding, if somewhat tiring.

He's replicating!

Just had my insurance renewal through - still trying to figure out why a BMW 1 Series with a 3 litre engine is 2/3 of the price to insure a standard Honda Civic....

Coz Honda's have more features. BMWs don't come with indicators innit.

Suspect they don't work on the Honda - nothing bloody else does.

Engine and transmission are fine and living up to Hindas reputation. Everything else attached to it....isn't.

Bit red last night innit.

About 30 miles north of Brighton..

Tell me why I'm wrong. The ones not crossed out are the good ones.

Planet of the Apes was bloody awful. But it did eventually give us Rise of the Planet of the Apes so there's that I guess.

Crossing out Corpse Bride, Ed Wood, and Edward Scissorhands seems overly harsh. They might not be to you tastes but they were each good films for what they were.

 

[Scouse]

Crossing out Nightmare Before Christmas is a crime.

Mars Attacks was "okay".

Because the 2005 version of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory is on there...

Everything from Beetlejuice to Sleepy Hollow is good, and a few are great, Planet of the Apes is utter turd. I quite like Big Fish as well although it's more marmite. Is Dark Shadows the Johnny Depp one? Thought that was OK but I can't remember much about it.

 

[TdC]

yeah, Depp as the unwilling head of a vampire family iirc. Much more comedy, less grim than Sleepy Hollow

Some news but no news, we all knew it anyway but now Valve have to make it very clear.

I very much agree with the "If buying a game isn't ownership, then piracy isn't stealing"

Somewhat related note about the above - apparently GOG guarantee ownership of games for life when purchasing, not sure if thats true, i haven't used GOG for awhile - anyone confirm?

I believe their stance is that once you have downloaded it and installed using an offline installer you can do what you want with it no one will take it away even if they lose their license to sell the game

Literally asked my wife the same thing an hour ago...

I just don't understand with the technology etc we have now how its even conceivably possible - even without human intervention, surely there must be some fucking automated alarm that kicks off before the trains are even near each other to warn of an oncoming collision.

Just a massive failure on the rail networks behalf and I hope the families of the victims fleece them for as much as they can get.

Whilst I have sympathy with this view - at the end of the day that's our taxes not going to the NHS.

I have 0 sympathy for this view.

Speaking of the NHS - £2.8bn was paid out last year on compensation, £2.8bn that could go on stuff to stop the compensation happening in the first place.

It's not even just that tbh, the NHS is being abused from top to bottom, from top end staff having massive paydays despite clear mismanagement to regular patients taking the piss with services, like slappers pretending to be depressed so they can get free boob jobs etc on the NHS.

Grand scheme of things it may not seem like a lot but it all adds up.

Sorry, but this is sensationalist, I'd wager the 'slappers pretending to be depressed so they can get free boob jobs' contributes very little to the wastage, it's like blaming people on universal credit for government expenditure.

I'm excited to see the outcome of the Tory-Covid-NHS corruption tbh.

 

[Embattle]

It'll be interesting to see why the train couldn't stop, either way since a train runs on a track they should have all been automated nearly a decade ago.
