Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingExtremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing In Scotland we say K'-hoon - or very close. It's hard to describe a sound with accuracy. There's a half pronounced vowel sound after the initial 'K' sound, Sort of a cross between 'i' as in if and a as in hat. El Loro's 2nd link on pronunciation is how we say it, [ more ]
El Loro There's a BBC article on various names which people haven't been able to pronounce them correctly, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44630061 Although most of the names do indicate how they should be said, one of them isn't. That's Colquhoun. I wonder how people here would say that. Here's some attempts on the "How to pronouce" site. https://www.howtopronounce.com/colquhoun/ And here's how I think it should be pronounced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7IkOnEKISU [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Me too. I have a JVC S-VHS recorder/player. The reason being is that I still have some tapes never released on DVD or Blu-ray. [ more ]

Cold Sweat I managed to do a pub and a Costa heading home this evening! I was a bit sniffy about them until around Jan/Feb this year I had a 50 minute wait on the concourse at Inverness railway station so rather than freeze I took the plunge with a mug of cappuccino within the confines of a warm Costa café.

Eugene's Lair I apologise in advance, Damme, as I think this is going to be another of those "after the horse has bolted" jobs: I've just had a bit of a brainwave, and I think #6 is a Vizsla. It was the snout that was bothering me: all the other breeds we were looking at such as Ridgebacks have dark snouts, not light ones. [ more ]

What Was The Last Film You Saw?
J jackassfan
funkyjunky The last film I saw was Deadpool 2 [ more ]
El Loro Saw the British film Sapphire (1959) which was on the Talking Pictures channel. Good quality intelligent police procedural film with a racial background. The two lead detecives were played by Nigel Patrick and Michael Craig. Peter Vaughan's second film role (not credited). [ more ]
El Loro Rewatched Carnival of Souls (1962). Very low budget independent film, a bit like a full length Twilight Zone story. Considering that it is low budget, it's not bad and at times quite eeries. As a piece of trivia the assistant director was Reza Badiyi. 6 years later he created the title sequence for the original Hawaii Five-O, a strong contender for the best title sequence in the history of television.

Eugene's Lair I'm old enough to remember when - by law - you weren't allowed to see into a bookies from the street outside. It gave them a fairly seedy image. IMO, by trying so hard to get rid of that image, a lot of bookies instead now feel rather clinical. As I've said above though, they can get quite lively when there's a major race or other sports results coming in. The thing about "zero atmosphere" is that in the old days, many of those who regularly frequented bookies tended to retire to the local... [ more ]
Eugene's Lair A bookies? I thought most towns had several nowadays. My town centre certainly has loads - so many in fact that I've lost count. [I've just done a quick Google Maps search, it says there are 9 in the town centre area (which sounds about right), and another 5 within about half a mile of the town centre. In the centre, there are 3 William Hills within about 500 yards of each other, and a triangle of 3 Ladbrokes no more than about 300 yards from each other! ] Of course, it's the Fixed Odds... [ more ]

Eunice Gayson has died (from Dr. No)
El LoroEl Loro
Eugene's Lair ❤️
Eugene's Lair It is extraordinary, isn't it? It's also extraordinary to think about the effect "Dr No" had when it came out. Audiences really hadn't seen anything quite like it before, and the way in which Bond was introduced - something which Eunice Gayson played a big part in, of course - had a lot to do with that... [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities How coincidental. Just this morning I was reading an online article: JAMES BOND’S ALL TIME HIGH: REMEMBERING “OCTOPUSSY” ON ITS 35TH ANNIVERSARY. But as ever, this is sad news [ more ]

THERESA MAY & HER HOSTILE ENVIROMENT
pirate1111pirate1111
Saint Sadly at the end of the day a politicians loyalty lies with the party to which they belong, not their constituents. Unless there is something with which they vehemently disagree a politician will toe the party line. Although few, if any politicians completely approve of everything in their own party's manifesto [ more ]
Carnelian Absolutely, there are some really good MPs working hard for the betterment of the country! But I think most just work for themselves and their own enrichment. I don't think for one second that Cameron, Osborne or Johnson give nor gave a damn for this county or it's people's welfare. [ more ]

Carnelian Daily Mail comments: Look at that yob millennial swan, attacking people. I bet it doesn't have a job nor pay any tax. Just sponging off hard working taxpayers sitting in a river all day expecting charity rather than getting a job. What does it do when someone doesn't respond to its aggressive begging probably for avocado on toast? Violence! Typical of the left, a typical Labour voter! [ more ]
Moonie He is a big lad I have been surround by ten almost fully grown cygnets and two parent several times and believe me when they are on land and fully upright they are HUGE but really gentle creatures The thing is when they are nesting and have little ones they can be so fierce One of nature’s truly beautiful and majestic creatures 😊😊😊 [ more ]

Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Yes, I think there may be those out there who are tempted to download any old nudey pictures and upload them to Facebook, just for the fun of it, a bit like that Walkers fiasco. But, yes, seriously, we discussed this at work and could see lots of holes in the idea. [ more ]

Drones predicted to give British economy a £42bn lift by 2030
CarnelianCarnelian
Moonie When I saw the first word of this thread I was thinking, this is another JRM thread [ more ]
Carnelian Well, yeah, I'm sure Jeff Bezos the owner of Amazon be will coining it in big style but I can't see that UK retail workers, delivery drivers and postal workers are going to be quids in. So the British economy will be 'worth' £42bn extra but ALL of that extra wealth will be in the pockets of the ultra elite while British workers see their opportunities evaporate. A UK neoliberal wet dream! [ more ]

Moonie It’s all about money Velvet Who gonna foot the bills, can money be made somehow? Who’s gonna gonna foot the compensation bills? No one gives a toss about the poor people who have died, the ones that are gonna die from the injuries received and the ones who are left to grieve their lost loved ones 😞😡 [ more ]
Moonie I guess if I had lost a loved one I would probably want it removed and some kind of memorial erected but I haven’t so that is just a personal opinion. [ more ]
