Every Wednesday I take my daughter to scouts. After scouts we take an unnecessarily long way home, playing music we like at each other and chatting. It's a highlight of my week too.

Alternatively, over-report. Spelling mistake on an email from a colleague? Seems phishy to me. Email from a colleague with an attachment? Phishy! Unsolicited email from a client? Phishy! Email from 'social committee' sent to everyone in the team? Phishy!!!

Well, they picked a theme and went with it.

I, too, am a human American from one of the 49 states which are united and in America. I am from the good state. All other states are weak and feeble compared to the state from which I come. This makes me a superior human. Obey my justified commands.

At school in Scotland, one art teacher would send the kids to see the other art teacher to ask if they had any tartan paint left. Alternatively, he would send them to go and ask for a long stand.

Oh course, but you're coming off mine with that attitude, buddy!

Hands down Claes Bang as 'the prick' from the show Bad Sisters. I'm pretty sure I'll have a visceral dislike of any character I see him play in the future.

Musk also told staff that he would ask for the resignation of any executive "who retains more than three people who don't obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test."

Pssst. Elon. You're not any of those three things.

Magic. It works by magic.

Haven't read the story yet but... was this a white guy? I'm going to guess not,

I teleported home last night with Ron and Sid and Meg,
Ron stole Meggy's heart away and I got Sidney's leg.

Snakes on a plane, zombies on a train, crocodiles on a snowmobile, vampires on a ferry, werewolves on a funicular, moth men in a kayak, sasquatches on a tricycle, golems in an uber, mermaids on a tram, mummies on a dirigible, ghouls in a jeep…

This franchise has legs!

Russia says US support for Ukraine will end as ‘humiliating fiasco’ like ‘Vietnam and Afghanistan’

Of course that Is what Russia says. They were hardly likely to say ‘That’‘s it, game over for us, we’re withdrawing all our troops now.’

I’d be pretty distracted by the bear waiting behind me for his go.

Israeli troops shoot and kill a Palestinian shepherd reading the Quran on his land ( www.haaretz.com )

Three soldiers pounce on a shepherd sitting outside his sheep pen. They knock him over and then one of them shoots him to death at point-blank range. Fakher Jaber, a father of four, was suspected of involvement in an incident that probably never happened...

Meanwhile, Bob’s Bison Burgers has been trading in Pavis since the early 1980s.

When Netflix had (seemingly) everything I was totally cool and the gang with paying for that service.

Now I have:

  • Netflix
  • Amazon Prime
  • Apple TV
  • Disney+
  • NowTv
  • fuck knows what else

and I still can’t find the content I want to watch. I had an urge to watch The Good, The Bad And The Ugly the other day. Could I find it on any services I pay a combined £50+ a month for? Could I fuck. Why would they be surprised they’re pushing people to ‘alternative’ sources? Sure, I can rent or buy Barbie and Oppenheimer if I want, but I don’t want. What I want is access to the tens of thousands of old, excellent, films that have been made.

For A Few Dollars More is so-so (but I’d still watch it again), but The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is epic.

And if you enjoy them, then take a crack at High Plains Drifter or Pale Rider which are both excellent though share an underlying theme. The Outlaw Josey Wales is also well worth a watch, as is the magnificent (and best picture Oscar winner) Unforgiven starring and directed by an older, wiser, and grittier Clint Eastwood.

You might also want to add Yojimbo and The Seven Samurai to your list too - they’re the Kurasawa films that A Fistful of Dollars and The Magnificent Seven are western (in both senses) remakes of.

I'm not convinced that 70s porn mags would help you if the Scharnhorst was bearing down on you.
