‘A lot of you are going to prison’ | Steve Bannon Talks Justice, Revenge and Trump 2.0 – GB News
If not the best episode, it has to be close to it …
“A by-the-books bank manager is forced to rob his own bank by a charming thief who holds his family hostage.
Peter Cushing and Andre Morrell repeat the solid on screen chemistry they displayed three years earlier when they teamed up as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in Hammer’s version of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959). This time they are antagonists with Morrell playing the suave robber and Cushing – in a change of pace role – as the ultra priggish banker. Morrell is deliciously nasty but Cushing really deserves some acting kudos for creating a “jerk” of a character that you actually start to sympathize with as Morrell turns the screws.
Quentin Lawrence, a veteran of British TV, skillfully directs a tight script in a confined setting and keeps the tension high and story moving – almost like it’s unfolding in real time. Once the normal routines and relationships are quickly established, he ratchets up the tension with Morrell’s arrival and never lets up. The psychological duel begins and it’s a treat to watch.
My only nitpick about the film is the ending which I thought was a little too neat and tidy for my taste.”

11. Anything to stop bonhomie and the exchange of ideas
Confess I was always soft on Riley, Wolseley, Rover … old marques, even if the first is an extended Mini. Buy one? Of course, even if the turning indicator had to be switched off manually … especially (partly) because of that.
But note this, from Penseivat 👇🏻
I had a Riley Elf in the mid 60s, after having a Mini. Basically, the same badly designed car, only with a slightly larger boot (it would have been more practical as a hatchback). Mine had a tendency to eat fanbelts, which either indicated the fanbelts from the main dealer were rubbish, or their tension guides were wrong (my wife’s nylon stocking being used in one occasion to allow us to continue the journey, very slowly).Made a further mistake by swapping it for a Renault 4. Long story about that car. Please don’t show a video of how good they were, because they weren’t.

5. Sometimes something like this appears
My approach is to sit it to one side and see what corroboration appears, it being a serious charge.

2. Result in New Orleans
Highlights for us outside the USA, inc for Toodles and me:
Loud cheering for DJT, much booing for Taylor Swift, forecast result on its head, pity for the Chief’s QB who seems a good Christian MAGA. I’ll add more here as and when … it’s 0502 just now.
For Toodles and me, the QB was an ex Alabama college player, Jalen Hurts. I’d tweeted, just into the game that I had not a clue about the teams but liked the team in green more … the underdog Eagles.
There were many American tweets saying it was Eagles vs the NFL … shall go take a look now.
