2. A new generation of grandmothers

1. DAD at 1316

    a1) Nearly thirty years ago, I retired to this very quiet corner of France. I chose it because of the calmness as it was away from trouble hotspots. Those thirty years has seen changes, none of which were for the good….

    a2) Niort, the Departemental centre of government, had a tiny problem from a small geographical area, usually with drugs. But now……

    b) On Sunday, March 8, when they woke up, residents near the supermarket on Avenue des Marins in downtown Châteauroux discovered a large religious statue in the parking lot.

    d) Emmanuel Macron’s Irresistible International downfall. Last year Emmanuel Macron dissolved Parliament following a twisted line of reasoning. His party then lost the elections, but refuses to accept it. He flails about, talks, gesticulates….

    21. Save the Persian girls team

    The footballers, in Oz for some cup, refused to sing the regime song, were told by a govt thug they’re going back to severe punishment. Bus has departed, Oz govt refused to help. Those of the praying kind pray the plane can be diverted.

    “The great depression of the 30s, in a way, created inequality in this country. On the one hand, great fortunes were made and many more were lost. In those days Hollywood’s idea for escapism was the screwball comedy, with an emphasis in presenting how the privileged classes lived. This was in sharp contrast with what the majority of regular citizens were experiencing.

    With that background, Gregory La Cava, a man who knew how to entertain an audience, took the direction of “My Man Godfrey”. In the film we are given, on the one hand, what appears to be a city dump near to Sutton Place, one of the richest areas in Manhattan. We are shown a destitute man, Godfrey, who comes in contact with a couple of rich girls out on a scavenger hunt. Godfrey will change their lives forever.

    “My Man Godfrey” gathered a distinguished cast. William Powell and Carole Lombard were at the pinnacle of their popularity. Both actors exuded charisma in any film they graced with their charming presence. They both left a mark of distinction in this comedy. Both are elegant and sophisticated, and they make us care about the characters they are playing.

    The best thing about those 30s comedies were the marvelous ensemble casts assembled to support the stars. Thus, one is treated to delicious performances by Gail Patrick, Eugene Palette, Alice Brady, Micha Auer, Jean Dixon and Alan Mowbray.

    This is a classic film that will live forever.”

    14. How to ruin someon’s Saturday evening


    13. Housekeeping again

    Yet again, I have a delicate situation … or rather DAD does. He showed me this he’d received (more than once):


    From where I sit, with no overview of what you encounter at your end, I know nothing of the process of subscribing, liking, giving personal info … I do not personally ask for nor need it, I’m not after traffic, am not building an account’s “reach” … but I can see why WP would want it … to make some pennies, for us to “pay our way”.

    I’m thinking they already have your email … so why again? On the other hand, emails are generally ubiquitous, no big deal. An IP address though is a bigger deal … don’t openly give, though it’s usually behind the scenes they find such things.

    For me, subscribing is akin to giving money. I’ve mentioned before … I must not take any money, nor cause someone to have to pay somewhere else in order to read Unherdables. I have nothing “monetised”. I check stats only at OoL, as it’s our joint account.

    12. From earlier in the day

    … usually Antipodaeans, Americans, Canadians first up.


    11. Hormuz oil

    Sunday [6 to 10]

    (0716) If there seems no rhyme or reason as to which items go up, which stay in situ and which are not text, there’s method to the madness, plus predictable unpredictability. (0848)

     

    10. Moo corner

    … still snowing near you?


    9. Were they all in on it?


    8. Cyclists

    For some years, Julia has been posting on lycra lout cyclists … during my own cycling phase some years ago, I did wonder … my interaction with motorists was okayish. Plus, I warrnt in lycra.

    Then an incident occurred at the top of our road near here. There was a lycra lout up near the corner and I nodded on the way past … he went full verbal, then pulled out to come at me. Whaaaa? Man was insane, not unlike Woke women. I do see what Julia said now.

    7. Below the surface


    My purpose in running this again, a decade and a half later, is to say that sometimes the reader has to stir him/herself and explore. For example, try OoL after this and if you’ve been diligent, you’d have bookmarked the important scandals.

    I’d further say that it’s not always necessary to use “special search engines” … you just need to ask the right questions. If a question gets very poor responses from the mainstream engines, that in itself is significant.

    This is what we’re about here … not to cater for the lazy but to help those who really do wish to do due diligence. Agreed … you need a certain amount of gist for the mill to start … but after that, you learn how to do it, you learn the ropes. If not bone idle.

    b) Former Spokesperson criticises Zelensky for threatening Orbán.

    c) Belgian Watchdog Punishes News Site for Printing Vance Speech. A Belgian online news outlet has been reprimanded by the country’s press ethics body after publishing the full text of a speech by U.S. vice president J.D. Vance….

    d) [Do you remember “Young Bob” who appeared recently on (I think) GB News?] Young Bob attacked by antifa again!

    22. Housekeeping

    Some days back, Steve did not run the two Alexes because in all conscience, he felt he could not. In a similar way, given what has come out about Bannon, I cannot bring his show to the main page here until such time he is officially investigated and exonerated.

    21. But could they play?

    “A good black and white mystery/murder story with some good acting and an interesting mystery that an insurance investigator named Sam Donovan (Dennis O’Keefe) must match wits with the small town sheriff named Larry Best (Willia Bendix) who claims the investigator Sam Donoovan is incorrect in his thinking and should just accept that the death of a prominent man in town was a suicide, and not a murder.

    Sam Donovan is suspicious of Sheriff Best’s claim of a suicide so he decides to stick around and stick he does, his nose that is. As the town is just in the process of getting ready to light up the towns Christmas tree at their annual street festival the town is advised of another sudden death of the towns beloved doctor from an apparent heart attack. The mystery thickens, and so does the insurance investigator Sam Donovan’s affection for a lovely local lass named Anita Weatherby (Barbara Britton).

    As the film progresses more clues are discovered that challenge Sam Donovan to question whether the whole town is hiding something about the murder victim who has a $20,000.00 life insurance policy that will pay out double indemnity to the victims niece if in fact it was not a suicide but rather a murder.

    The film has some light humour, a new romance blossoming, a Christmas theme, and a battle of wits between the insurance investigator Sam Donovan (Dennis O’Keefe) and Sheriff Best (William Bendix). I liked the film throughout, and I have always been fond of the 1940’s period, especial murder/mystery themes. I give the film a 7/10 rating.”
