“Curl up with this one on a dark and stormy night and prepare to be alternately amused, irritated and frightened. The creaky old plot about about a phantom train that’s said to run through the lonely English countryside at dead of night may be implausible, but it’s a lot of fun. There are some wonderful old cliches like “THE ACCIDENT” which the locals can remember but won’t talk about. But primarily the movie’s a vehicle for comedian Arthur Askey to showcase his particular brand of vaudeville style humour in between the scary bits. Askey’s corny humor is not very trendy these days but if you just let it wash over you it can be fun. This is probably the best of Askey’s movies.”

12. There are the reasons we thought at the time
… then the reasons the band put fwd … there may even have been unsaid things beyond simple jealousy or his failure, Pete Best, to fit in with the group dynamic … those might all have played a role, no question. There is this:
“From the Beatles early beginnings when they played in Hamburg, Germany and at the Cavern in Liverpool their drummer was a young man named Pete Best. Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) was a drummer with another band that shared some of the same venues with the Beatles.
Pete Best was a handsome James Dean type, 1950’s style and by far the most popular band member with the girls.
Just as the Beatles signed their first record deal and went on tour which catapulted them to fame unlike no other band before or after them, they fired Pete Best. Almost as bad as getting fired, not before but as the Beatles became the biggest phenomena, the group members John, Paul and George, left it to their manager Brian Epstein to personally inform the drummer that he was no longer with the band. John, Paul & George never spoke to him then or since.
His large female fan base developed hatred and bitterness to the band and many others in the music industry thought his firing to be somewhat cruel and unwarranted. The Beatles decided that Ringo Starr would replace him and join them on their first world wide tour.
This was the unfortunate situation that Ringo walked into and he had no idea or inkling that Pete Best was getting fired until he was asked to replace him. The fury over his firing was of course taken out on Ringo more than anyone else and certainly no fault of his.”
But there’s a more conspiracist line to take too. Look at Hollywood and Weinstein and similar names who run things, with plenty of finance. Think too of the urinating in nuns legend … the malleability of the band members to do such things. Look at the whole casting couch culture in entertainmenthe Laurel Canyon thing, the three letter agencies.
I started looking up various movie moguls, e.g. Harry Cohn and put “askenazi” next to it. Looked up Louis B Mayer and his origins were obscured … then I found them. Who was the Beatles manager?
I’m not looking at ethnicity or religion per se in this, I’m looking at agendas of various groups. Madras-Liverpool lad Pete Best would not have fitted that agenda.
The article is 2016, it has them at that point already dancing for five years, winning championships … he in 2016 is 31 years and she 26. Right, the dates on the dances posted below are 2020 (covid time), 2023 and the last 2024, looking towards 2025, when they married.
I’m estimating that in the last dance below, he is 39, nudging 40 and she 34, nudging 35. That’s tick-tock time for both, family-wise. So, in an attempt to cast them as a fairytale couple, their past cohabitation does not quite fit the Christian ideal.
And yet it’s so patently obvious that their eyes are for each other … this was picked up by audiences across Europe, it’s everyone’s ideal in these awful days now of division and separation … it’s a glimmer of hope that a male and female can work in tandem to this point, still having fun. What happens next?
And it’s my politics to a tee. Yes, we all know what our politics here are, us unherdables but with me, there’s always been this edge to it, to the point that if I’m friendly with this lady or that and she’s in such a relationship already, I’ve always rapidly backed off as they’re precisely what my politics are all about and always will be … male meets female, they court, marry, then comes the patter of little “thems”. And if a godly match … that seals it.
Looking at him, signs of a paunch now, a few errors in that last song, nothing really left to prove. Will she drop away or remain svelte? I love the maturity in that last routine, even greater closeness if that’s possible.

2. DAD at 1288
Morgan McSweeney has resigned as Starmer’s Chief of Staff over the Mandelson scandal. He issued the following statement:
“After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the government. The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself. When asked, I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice……….
a) The director of March for Life UK is facing a third trial for praying silently near an abortion clinic. If convicted, the consequences would be disastrous for everyone: the state would have the power to control minds. The legal harassment of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a 48-year-old British Catholic pro-life activist, seems endless….
b) CSA poll: 71% of French citizens oppose voting rights for non-EU foreigners; even on the left, the issue is deeply divisive; but TPTB are still pressing for it….
c) French Legislative elections: several dozen figures, including Hollande, Cazeneuve, Borne and Glucksmann, are advocating for the introduction of proportional representation before 2027, “a new democratic impetus for France”….
d) En Route for Calais???????? Urrugne (64): A Pakistani smuggler arrested with 12 undocumented migrants in his vehicle… he receives a suspended sentence and a non-definitive travel ban. “A new case concerning this Indo-Pakistani network operating from Lisbon.”
1. Cautionary tale
To survive the next, say, five years in this deliberately being-disintegrated society, with a pitiless army of hardened aliens right near us, given that we are not only ageing more rapidly now but the medical care is sub-standard, plus they’re lying, plus they really are trying to shuffle us off through meds, “curative” and palliative “care” …
… before we despair and, still being compos mentis, still relatively sound in body too, this is a good time to take stock.
My immediate threats I thought included the house issue but maybe that’s ok after some moves yesterday. There are too many variables in this though and I literally have no alternatives right now, not a good situation to be in, still in the black though … just. Functioning society?
This planned disintegration of society? Big issue. Seeps down to us personally.
Howver, I’ve lost all many times and recovered by the Grace of God, literally. Just that factor alone takes so much of the stress away. Then there are sane decisions to make. One of those is vis-a-vis meds, diet, exercise, govt wanting to interfere, others wishing to organise problems for us. For example, just read this morning … female boss hating men, so she lowered men’s salaries rather than raising women’s. Those men have mortgages, families. She didn’t care.
Other stupid divisions too. I see proReform people on X vilifying Advance people … how stupid. As if there’s not enough real division. I ustd us v brainwashed girls and young men who’ve been fabianised … also real enemy, extant, with weapons in buildings and fiendish grins, like knives through butter I’m afraid.
But one set of non Woke versus another? Lunacy.
I come back to mental health. You have your nest egg … for now, providing all institutions honour their agreements with you. But they’re altering these, aren’t they? My bank has judt changed the Ts and Cs. In terms of digital ID compliance, I have my first test in a few weeks, medical.
The word “mandatory” looms large … these people are maniacal about us being dragged out and having to queue for basic things. I was in Russia, saw the tail end if it, was in those queues. Plus ration books in this land in the not so long ago past. The process is the punishment.
You think you’ve escaped all this? You’ve built up a standard retirement, I have not, yet am not without. They still want us suffering. Thus part of our mental health is “nil carborundum” … they will try it on, they will try all these stunts, on various pretexts … it could affect the very roof over our heads. Look at Andy just now.
I personally am close to being on the street … quite realistically, should two or three wonky things fall apart. Immediate thought is one of you and I joining forces in RL. Might work but what if the net itself is gone? We’re then creamcrackered … use phone? Expensive. Just throwing ideas in here. Funeral plans? Assets?
Am I trying to upset you, dear readers? I’m just trying to ask you to think your plans B and C through, to steel yourself to that. We have, if I say so m’sel’ which I shouldn’t … we have a nice thing here, for now, with some nice bloggers around us too we like to go to for some rationality, plus some bonhomie. And that bonhomie is very real. Just because you live light years away, then as long as those satellites work … dot dot dot. But each of us must have real plans B, C, D right now. I lost a good friend some days ago. Has not yet reappeared.
Lastly, to the upsetting nature of what is covered here at UHC. I fight hard to keep graphic horror off these pages and yet it seeps back in via backdoors. For example, I just skimmed through Corey (sidebar comment). Kudos to IYE for bringing the link. But if you go there just prior to breakfast … it’s quite nauseating. My mental health says skim rapidly, get the general idea, then get out. Ditto with podesta drawings, real atrocities too … stay true to what you can handle, what you can not. Discipline yourself to switch out, take R&R.
You MUST look after your mental health.
Yes DAD … Amelia is AI, yes “she” is … I don’t like it in principle either … machine learning. Yet “she” is doing a grand job of rekindling passion for our roots. And she really is too … it’s going viral, the Gen Zees are very good at that. All my neighbours are Gen Zees … no Millennials, no Gen X, certainly no Boomers, except two in another part of this complex. On X are dozens of Gen Zees, just a few end-Boomers. Plus we have our DAD here, plus some of you not admitting your age … I’m not admitting mine, even with my birthday in Feb.
In my book … all good. It’s 2026 for goodness sake … it’s their world now, by definition. The ones I know are nice people by and large … even caring.
That’s it … hold your morale together, your mental health … this is the primary purpose of UHC … you can get news itself anywhere … we here are just a haven, that’s it, a port in the storm, a tavern, whilst real taverns out there close down … have you seen the cost of a pint now?
But remember that all this can disappear in the blink of an eye … it can be switched off … not as long as all other parts of the system are operating, good system here … but it CAN happen. That helps with mental health. We’d then just move on, checking all our plans A, B, C, D as we go. Anyway, must get posting for the day. /END.
41 years old now, in 2003 she skied the men’s Streif, the Hahnenkamm, near Kitzbuhel, Austria, a mountain I’ve been on, but obviously not racing. However, I did step on and ski a few metres down the edge of the middle section … not easy.
Nine days ago, she did her knees in with, I think, a double ACL, finally coming back and is now at the winter olympics near Milan. To my mind, 41 is really stretching it, esp. with an injury. Again, we always relate things to what we know and have done. I ran the fourth leg of a 4×100 at 44 I think I was and the legs just would not stride out. Five years earlier it might have been ok. We scraped in for the win, no thanks to me.
What gives it an edge today is that some creepy man on Team USA had said he was not skiing for America … he is being excoriated by the nation, except by the treasonous left.
I don’t know her politics, don’t want to know, I had a feeling she was not team MAGA but it matters not in this instance … she said, in contrast to the creep, that she was very much doing it for America. And I know she’s all for women’s sport.
Thus it’s sad for her … and for America. Oh … and that other creepy event today … not remotely interested.
This was meant to be a (special) couple dancing to up tempo boogie etc. but what with the jazz at 1515, that’s a tad too much up tempo today, given the earlier post … so I’ll hold the Sophie and Thomas for tomorrow and run this Boccherini for DAD (and others who might like), now.
