Arrival intrigues me and I want to see it.
If you haven't already done so, EC, I strongly advise you to see it. I saw it again tonight, and found it every bit as moving as I did the first time. (For reasons I won't go into, it's one of those films you can re-watch because scenes and dialogue at the beginning take on new depth and meaning the second time round.)
It's still early days, and the competition will be fierce, but maybe - just maybe - Amy Adams is finally going to win her first Oscar next March....
xfactor honey G... Strictly ed balls up... tony blair thinks he's running the f*cking country & we've also got President Elect Trump ... the world has gone f*cking bonkers

a lot of countries are now banning greyhound racing-argentina-new zealand nearly there-we have to put a stop to the irish & lufthansa who send the greyhounds to china where theyre made to race & when knackered sent to be boiled alive-apparently chinese believe the more the dog is in agony the more tender the meat
backward b@stards
anyone who dismisses this as a lie has got to tell me when theyve EVER seen a greyhound puppy on a lead
and
they cant because the poor things are bred to race & make a few quid for the arseholes who race them
there was a huge field in ireland that was discovered to have hundreds of greyhounds killed via a crossbow through their heads because they wasnt running fast enough
if i could id f*cking rage to ireland & deck the b@stards who do this to these wonderful animals
the only dog to be mentioned in the bible
these dogs are special
its nearly xmas
everyone wants a puppy for their kids
get a retired greyhound instead
rant over

I knew they didn't have a great life after they stopped racing but I never thought that went on 
Where would you buy these and where is the 'market' for them?

yeah-sorry i ranted-i was in a right mood, id just read about a car in china blocking the path of a wagon filled with greyhounds on their way to be boiled alive
i cant do anything about it & it gets me angry
i sign petitions, write to mp's etc..
but theyre not bothered
only mp that bothered to a related greyhound thing was recently an auction was on twitter for the greyhound trust & i asked tracy brabin (the labour mp that now stands in jo cox's place) to help promote it & she did-they made quite a bit more money than they usually do
so shes my new hero lol
but i'd ask anyone reading this
if you come across a petition to stop greyhounds being raced or killed or eaten-please sign it
theyre such beautiful loyal loving dogs (idle & lazy & greedy & nick all the room on the settee)
lisa said im not allowed another one
she reckons i had a bit of a breakdown after losing the mint
and she couldnt cope with that again
bless her lol
anyway, that wasnt a rant...for a change
stand easy...as you were

There are some despicably cruel people out there.
On the other hand, a lovely lady in my street has adopted a retired greyhound. Poor thing was very nervous when she first arrived but with a lot of gentle patience, she is now a very happy dog.
Several years ago, the same lady found a stray labrador. She reported it to the police and offered to keep it until its owner was found - the owner never came forward and the dog had a very happy life with the kind lady.

Yes, I love pictures from space, they can be very beautiful. Really looking forward to the Hubble telescope replacement and to what they may find with it.

I like them too, the first two look like art
Jen-Star posted:I'd have half of those on my walls
Me too Jen. I would think that some of them you can as they link off to lots of different websites. I really like abstract art, something that reveals new detail each time you look at it.
