(1353) Some nice things happening to counterbalance the bad … afternoon all.

 

23. Just saw this

In 1959, Volkswagen Beetle cars offered a coffee maker as an optional extra.

22. (2025) Phew, just awoke after snooze, another coming up

I really do crash here about 1700, try to stay awake for Steve, IYE, other chaps but then just crash. Please forgive any neglect after 1700 … just incapable. Prayers please for those we know are in need … your folk too at home. Vigilance, chaps and chapesses. Ok, signing off, unherdables … health fine, just zonking.

This Vox Ummah is death cult news:

… while Jodie Cohen is a good Jewish name:

War room

• Mike Lindell: These Somalian Fraudsters In Minnesota Have Infiltrated Every Government Welfare Service Available!

• Rosemary Jenks: We Have Been Importing People Who Are Not Used To The Government Being Benevolent And Handing Out Money. Of Course They’re Going To See How Much They Can Squeeze Out Of Government Programs!

• Bannon: We Have A Somalian Crime Syndicate Here On American Soil! We Must Deport It ASAP, Starting With Ilhan Omar!

• Bannon: We Need A Ten-Year Moratorium. No Immigration Whatsoever! We Can’t Do This Incrementally! Get Rid Of H1B’s Today, Ship Them All Home, And Give Those Jobs To American Citizens!

20. What a misogynist this honey must be ☺️

18. Just a reminder

17. The Bad Enough Tories are some of the bad news

16. Some of that good news

 

The year before Lord of the Flies and JFK … uncanny how space women look like californian actresses…

“I actually found this to be a decent movie. Yeah it suffered from some silliness and goofy stuff like the scene where they space walk to repair their ship and their tool of choice? A wrench, ha!! However, from the point where the astronaut landed on the asteroid it was pretty good. The story was well written for the most part and the acting wasn’t that bad. The girls were really cute and if i had landed there, id probably stay and enjoy myself!!! This truly played much like an episode from star trek, with another actor subbing for captain kirk. Some of the special effects on the asteroid were pretty decent, especially when the main character shrank in his space suit. The bad alien crashing rocks into his invisible prison out of frustration was pretty cool too, but the alien itself was kinda stupid looking. There were some genuinely touching scenes: the astronaut saying the Lord’s Prayer while he floated helplessly doomed in space, and the final goodbyes there at the end. This was released in 1961 so maybe that explains why its a notch or two better than the typical fifties stuff. I actually enjoyed this one. I’m sure audiences in 1961 weren’t let down. Heck they might have caught this one and The Three Stooges Meet Hercules at a drive in double feature. Cool!!!!”

… which I half reviewed yesterday, minus most spoilers:

“So I’ll review now with as few spoilers as poss. Showgirl is killed … shan’t say how but it’s spectacular … was it suicide, an accident, or as Peter thinks, natch … something more? With the mislead over with, the seemingly real culprit enters the fray and here’s where the writing earns plaudits … the central question is not quite resolved … audiences would certainly have discussed it afterwards.

Think I can let slip that it’s the same old same old about attraction and being played … more after I run the episode.”

15. I know I’ve mentioned passing by this train years ago

… along the length of it, saw inside in places, that was in Venice, not Paris:

14. Many pubs once had a rule about kids

13. The beloved BBC

12. Extracting the micturation

11. If they get even an inkling they can get away with it, plod etc.

Little has emerged so far about the threat it poses for British women:

We men were no match for these fierce Swedes I’m afraid.

(0546) Before we start, a warning that there is going to be a severe invasion of blondes and similar this morning … I’m also asking our severely tempted males to present Bardot clothed, as befits a 91 year old lady. Requested in jest but actually quite serious. Thank you. (0627)

 

5. Bardot as she might like to be remembered

4. The C of E is now but a demonic parody

3. Guess which country these are from

2. DAD at 1246

a) Brigitte Bardot: “Before, I would have said that I didn’t want to live in an Islamized France; today I say that I don’t want to die in an Islamized France.”

b) Frank Capra’s cinema masterpiece It’s a Wonderful Life has entertained film lovers for generations but a Canadian college professor sees the Christmas classic as full of “racism” and something to be condemned.

c) Elon Musk Criticizes Immigration Policies, Alleges Threat To Democracy, Says, ‘If This Is Not Reversed, Your Vote Will Mean Nothing’.

d) Drug trafficking: “We’re going to raise the fine to €500” for drug use, announces Emmanuel Macron.

(0217) Greetings on this “inbetween” Monday or just after the last weekend for the year, as Xer Irina called it. This might be one of the most vital posts yet at this site, due to the heterogenerational and heterogender nature of its sources. More below. (0254)

 

To understand, look beyond your own cohort

… but this does not mean DEI in the least … and certainly not Wokery

It means from our own national, cultural, westwide values, plus to repeat what was said above … there’s value in the heterogenerational and in the heterogender. Plus a willingness to take on board issues which a different cohort is raising. Or even eccentrics within cohorts.

My first stop is Svali in 2000 in Toronto, a San Diego lady … to paraphrase her, when asked how Them can be stopped, she replied that these people are so arrogant, they make mistakes. Svali was a baddy turned goody because of newfound faith, she was possibly war generation, her “illumined” parents of Frankfurt School age.

And so to Roobeedoo and this exchange last evening and this morning:

Knowledge is power. (Francis Bacon)

Nick Shirley

But it needs more than just inter this and that dialogue … it needs ethics and a moral compass before even getting down to the details … it needs systemic integrity.

(1530) Approaching evening, good people.

 

23. It’s a thought … have a good evening, you lot

… I’m for bed.

22. What the hell is going on with them?

Hmmmmm, try elsewhere, it’s not expanding here.

17. This Peter Gunn series

A few are par for the course in plot, some are intriguing. Thing is, at just over 25minutes running time, there’s not a lot of plot you can fit in there. The commercials must have been horrendous … what, four minutes each half hour? The companies were ripping the public off something awful … at least the ads were in blocks and you could go to the kitchen for coffee or light up or whatever.

The Peter Gunns therefore needed a tad more than the usual mob boss gets taken down plot and by and large … there were intriguing endings, after one or two “misleads” along the way. This episode yet to be shown here, but I watched this afternoon, was not bad at all.

So I’ll review now with as few spoilers as poss. Showgirl is killed … shan’t say how but it’s spectacular … was it suicide, an accident, or as Peter thinks, natch … something more? With the mislead over with, the seemingly real culprit enters the fray and here’s where the writing earns plaudits … the central question is not quite resolved … audiences would certainly have discussed it afterwards.

Think I can let slip that it’s the same old same old about attraction and being played … more after I run the episode.
