El, anymore news on your circling aircraft?

Have a nice day everyone

The B-52 incident was on Tuesday. There doesn't seem to have been any update so I assume that once the plane had burned off excess fuel it returned to where it started and landed safely. It's not the sort of incident where the MOD or USAF (American equivalent) are likey to say much if anything to the public.

Thanks for the update El

No, movements are usually restricted and kept secret
Maybe a small announcement made to allay the local residents if anything, as you say..

I don't think many people would be concerned as it's obvious that it didn't end disastrously. Plane flew on a path about 60 miles long in circumference rather than going round and round in a small circle - I only heard it once. There would be a set protocol to follow by the crew as soon as they realised there was a problem with one of the engines.

Goodnight, sleep well, sweet dreams Buddies

Good morning everyone

Some sunshine here at times.

I hope everyone has a good day

Another short amusing Alice Guy film from 1906 called in English "A Sticky Woman" with an added soundtrack. We don;t get to see what the wife does to her husband afterward

It is funny, Baz

I was originally going to post the same film on Youtube but uploaded by a different person. When I played it, there was a serious error after the Fin screen as an extract from another film was then shown. It was a scene which I knew was from a Luis Bunuel film made in 1929 called "Un Chien Andalou". Don't be tempted to try watching that Bunuel film as the scene in question is shockingly horrifying.

Don’t worry El ….I don’t really do YouTube

The science fiction writer Fred Hoyle promoted the idea that life on Earth originated from material on comets. Very controversial views and not taken too seriously

Good morning everyone

Cloudy dry day here, may get bits of sunshine.

I hope everyone has a good day

@slimfern possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel in the coming week:
Tomorrow 3.35 in the morning "Blood on the Sun" (1945) Set in the 1930s with James Cagney as a reporter trying to expose Japamese plans for world domination. Film was released before the end of the war, I haven't seen the film so don't know if the film is watchable nowadays, Japanese characters played by Americans.
Tomorrow 5.30 in the morning "Twice Two" (1933) Laurel and Hardy short
Wednesday 6.30 in the morning "Jitterbugs" (1943) A Laurel & Hardy feature film but not one of their classics.

Wednesday 7.45 in the morning "Once in a New Moon" (1935). A small British town is dragged into space by a passing "dead star" and the inhabitants try to organise a local goverment to keep things in order but conflicts arise between the aristocracy and the townspeople. Special effects are non-existent. Film is surprisingly watchable as a sort of gentle satire/ Ealing comedy type.

Thurday 6.00 in the morning "Block-heads" (1938) A Laurel & Hatdy short.
Thursday 12.10 (just after noon) "Sailing Along" (1938). Likely to be the only Jessie Matthews musical whoch might be of any interest as she works on a Thames River barge. Alastair Sim in also in the film but in a supporting role rather than a main role.

I suspect it would have gone down well at the time, but maybe seen as non PC in today's society, having Americans playing at being Japanese ...think I'll give this one a miss El ...especially at that time of the morning

Thanks anyway

I like a good musical as you know, so will take a look, especially as it has Alastair Sim in it
Will have to record it for later in the day though

Thanks for the 'list' El

It's not a film I will watch, if it hadn'r been for Cagney being in it I wouldn't have mentioned it

I thought it a fun film though in terms of scientific plausibility on the same level as that short film about a journey to Jupiter I posted recently

The worst thing the Beeb did was delete Teletext. I used to go through all the regional news on a stepper in the kitchen - took about 40 mins.

Hope all the troops are rank and file. Salutes

All's well here, Velvet and I hope you'r OK

Although BBC's red button on tv remote controls is a lesser service than it used to be they still have a section Local News- sub mueny by country - a sub-sub ment by region and each region has a number of news stories though the new stories are only 2 pages long and are based on the equivalent news item on the BBC website which tends to be longer.

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Buddies

Velvet, I hope all is well in your world

Ok Moons     

Someone might try to break in though   

Hope that's in the midst of one of my madder dreams
