The I is long, and it doesn't rhyme with wither though.

Stop mithering about it. . . .

Mentioned in the film Rainman released in the USA in 1988.

Seems it is still true for the era after the introduction of jet engined flights. (Wiki)

Since getting rid of my landline - I like to have two modes of mobile to feel secure. They must be from different service providers, and with different networks - And cheap of course. :smile: I was with Plusnet or a long time but they left the market, and steered me towards EE which is also owned by...

Thanks for staightening us out Wendy. I had skimmed past the PETA connection.

I hope however that there was an element of mischief in the timing of the press announcement.

I watched The Odessa File again recently and recall the final scene - Josef – in reality Major Uri Ben-Shaul, an Israeli Army paratrooper officer – returns to Israel to be debriefed. He has taken Tauber's diary with him, and per the last request in the diary, Uri visits Yad Vashem and says Kaddish f...

From Iain Dale of LBC -

Bad news is news. Good news is advertising.

Today the President of the USA has - as they say on the Interweb thingy - "jumped the shark". He published on Truth Social - Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you...

Animal rights activists have called for Easter egg rollers to swap hen's eggs and milk chocolate eggs for potatoes in order to have "all of the fun and the tradition but just without the animal cruelty". I've just noticed the date of this post. Hook line and sinker I'd say. . . . and me t...

Two quotes from The Spectator magazine. Recent newspaper headlines and strident television bulletins will have made uncomfortable reading and viewing during her annual holdays at Balmoral. Fresh revelations about the Duke of York's relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein are causing further embar...

I watched Artemis take off for its circut of the moon. The statistics that I remembered from Pallab Ghosht of the BBC, was that on take off it weighed 250 tonnes, and was using 5,000 litres of fuel per second . Yet to return - on the previous landing mission, they just seem to have popped up and gon...

Remember Stanley got Bob Bliss a pie from Hutchinsons Pie shop, on his recent pilgrimage. Google must have noticed as well, because they have directed me today to this video.
Very well filmed I'd say, and don't they look good. . .

I never knew that there were "guidelines" for this activity. Surely just "don't do it' would be sufficient? "Catherine Atkinson, Labour MP for Derby North, arrived at the scene and told the BBC: "Like many I remain really shocked. You don't expect this to happen in our city....

From the BBC - " There was "no evidence" of "family voting" or voter coercion at the Gorton and Denton by-election, police have concluded after an investigation." However they say later in the article - We have spoken to the four Democracy Volunteers observers present a...

Quite magnificent. 'Sui generis'. :smile: Sui generis - is a Latin phrase meaning "of its own kind" or "in a class of its own," used to describe something unique, one-of-a-kind, or peculiar to itself. It signifies that a person, or object, is so distinct that it cannot be compare...

I just watched an old episode of Antiques Roadshow on BBC 2. Quite a nostalgic experience. A simple programme format it seemed - just whoever turned up with their antique 'treasures'. The present production team have managed to change he programme out of all recogntion. There is a slant on everythin...

If you have the time - this is worth a look. I watched this, featuring David Davies MP last night - in a packed house ( just seven members out of six hundred and fifty) present. Cause for concern at least I'd say. Can there be a second retrial? I'd say it's the least that should happen. https://yout...

I suspect the use of AI to trawl possible images might have something to do with the exposure. I should have spotted that. You are probably right. I thought we might have seen the same photo from Daniel's book. The AI gang are riding roughshod across peoples' copyright material. In fact on reflecti...

It's all getting a bit sinister in AI land. This has been fed to me.
Can it be connected with reading this thread? I believe it might be.


Jesse Ventura

I watched this today.

Imagine my surprise to see without any warning - our leader at 21.18 minutes in.

Decline of Lancashire textile industry.

I watched this last night. I am more concerned about it than the current situation in the Middle east. :smile: Oldham Council 25 March 2026 Go to 2.22 to see Councilor Ghafoor's response to the collapse of his building in King Street on Tuesday 24th March 2026.. King Street collapse It seems he is t...

I came across this phrase recently "Digital Detox" - looks like a good idea. . . . A digital detox is a planned, temporary break from using electronic devices like smartphones, computers, and social media to reduce stress and improve mental well-being. It involves setting boundaries, such ...

I do believe you have mentioned the matter before. This and seasons, equninoxes, and Trump. Close to obsessive.

The town now stands in the Lancashire Borough of Pendle but within the boundaries of the historic West Riding,

I'd say this is a fair statement of the facts.

This was shown to me today. Nice piece even to someone who thinks he knows a bit about the town. . . .

Stand by for a rush of visitors.

You're right. I stand corrected. I wondered who would be the first to spot that. © Capt. Mainwairing.

No wonder it has fallen out of use - just too complicated.

I didn't think I'd ever need "epicaracy"again, but I find that the news that NCP (National Car Parks) is going bust has brought on a sudden attack.
No idea why - they have never done me any direct harm - just don't like them.
