11. Housekeeping again
First up, these times I quote for beginnings and ends of posts … they can be uncanny if you find numbers interesting:
Right, down to business … they are certainly tightening the screws. For some time, both MMutR and I have been getting reduced service quality, with clicks and pings … at times, the call is cut off. This is not normal.
This morning, IYE warned that there was a warning about coming to this site. Yep, I got the warning too as I reinstalled YouTube when it started playing up. In one sense, it’s a good thing … keeps the dross and trolls away, whilst those who know us can still visit. Lower numbers, better situation.
Now, whoever the toerags are … either Apple of Ggl … YouTube started playing music vids slower, dragging, so that notes were out of tune so to speak. Fine … of course no buttons to adjust sound speed, only picture quality. Fine. If I can no longer listen to music or watch films, so be it.
Then there’s this:
To hell I will. The lower one involves, and so does the upper, my credit card with security code. Do they think I’m an idiot? So we’re punished instead.
Now, this coming Thursday … it’s not the procedures to be concerned about, it’s two other things … the stasi-bureaucratic thing … and I simply am not going to … but it will be done quietly. Now, if that means no med service, so be it, I’ll be my own doctor, use trad herbs etc.
Obviously they’ll not dtop at that and they’ll next hit my money, my account. I’ll take that one as it comes.
The most immediate punishment, I suspect, is they’ll hit nourishing unherdables (the range of sites), plus probably the X connection. If it suddenly disappears as N.O. did, I’ll get word out one of a number of ways.
I’ve a nasty feeling Steve’s not going to approve of this one:
“In the film, former officers of the British Army plan a bank robbery in the City of London. They raid an army training camp in Dorset to get the weapons they need, and frame the Irish Republican Army (IRA) for the raid.”
“Given a slightly different approach, this film might have developed into an ironic study of the decline of the officer class in peacetime; a valid enough subject, especially when one considers the varying shifts in social status to be encountered in the post-war British scene.
Instead, the film concentrates on suspense rather than character investigation. Each of the Gentlemen is introduced by a little establishing scene, after which the script fails to develop their idiosyncracies and, in fact, weakens its own possibilities by making them all basically shady characters.
Bryan Forbes (as in his script for The Angry Silence (1960)) brings a lively surface edge to the dialogue, but tends to overdo the slick, ripe repartee as well as imposing on his characters a variety of fashionable perversions.
As a study of a certain strata of society, then, the film lacks a strong centre and a firm point of view – one is never quite sure how seriously the parody of the officer code is intended, especially in the ambiguous, obligatorily moral ending.
Judged as a thriller, it is more successful: the two big set-pieces (the army camp robbery and the raid itself) are quite skilfully put together, although the former suffers from an overdose of tired Army humour.
The handling of these scenes and the extensive location shooting suggest that, for Basil Dearden, the film’s interest (and challenge) was mainly a technical one….”
Actually, not just for Steve but for anyone English, this filum. Let’s see.
……
General word for chaps and chapesses suggesting films … I do look but sometimes the copy has some preventing aspect to it, either embedding or not available in countries our readers come from. Occasionally though, I do forget, sorry me, so feel free.
Contentwise, I really must avoid horror, guts, occult, that sort of thing … we do have quite a few genteel readers, you know the score. Plus I’m under contract to my Maker.
(1234) Nicely timed. Afternoon all. (1313) <= I swear that time is real, true.

Carolina quest:
“What a coincidence! Government “UFO disclosure” is coming in coordination with a new Spielberg movie called #DisclosureDay. But, don’t see the truth of how they manipulate our minds. “They” don’t like that.”
As in procedures, prodded and poked … next Thursday. It’s going to take some preparation on my part … Wednesday evening will be my last real chance to have things in order, docs at hand etc.
Thursday is a virtual hiatus … I’ll try to do my early morning rounds, do the DAD, Steve, IYE plus check in at points unti 1100 … after that though is out for me … I’ll have scheduled a mid-morn filum.
That will be it till evening.
b. UHC-WP
This morning has flown because I’ve been reading and posting our main people here, plus doing the same at UHC-WP. Think I’ve archived as far as I can there, also adding one name to our Watch list under Other in the navbar.
My request for everyone who has contributed here or at UHC-WP (leaving NOWP out of it as a separate page) … is to check the sidebar at UHC, click on your name, find my errors, any anomalies, any personal reflections I might have missed.
Please tell me what I’ve missed and where I can find it/them.
What I’m aiming for is your personal archives you might want kept. Yes, they’ll still be here in posts or comments, ditto at UHC but they’ll be backed up on your homepage … that’s the cunning plan.
Now, your items also appear within my own posts there. I had a think and there are relatively few posts at UHC, comparatively … so scrolling is not arduous. Also, the shorts in the sidebar 1 to 20 … better just to point readers to those links directly from the sidebar, rather than double up on text.
I’ll keep copying your reflections from here … there are a couple right now from IYE and Steve to their homepages.
Timeframe? As and when, chaps and chapesses, we’re all busy.
As for someone, e.g. Microdave, Torquaymada, DM, not in that sidebar yet … do tell me so I can create you a homepage. What editorial control do you have over that page? A fair bit, though the paragraph formatting needs to remain consistent across UHC.
We need UHC working, not just as a white elephant.
Isilme … yes, what to take across? She’d need to decide that, tell me what, which and where.
(0723) Morning all, awoke late, which means a good sleep. Hope you had too, or about to. There is going to be some repetition of sshots because I failed to delete after posting and can’t remember, plus it won’t hurt to have them again, plus we have much to post today. (0949)

There’s a couple of nuggets in this:
”An obscure cruise ship that took 141 passengers to the Antarctic is claiming somehow passengers contracted the deadly hantavirus primarily found in rodents. There are no native rodents in Antarctica – they cannot survive in the cold. Moderna, in collaboration with South Korea began working on a Hantavirus mRNA Vaccine in 2024. …”
And this:
”As of May 6, 2026, the Hazen Fire in Buckeye, Arizona, has burned 1,138 acres of dense river-bottom vegetation with 45% containment. The human-caused fire started on May 2. In 2017, Bill Gates bought 25,000 acres west of Buckeye for $80 million. No ground breaking smart city was ever developed.…”

b) France. Another day; another “Marseille barbecue” !
The charred body found Tuesday evening in a forest in Allauch (Bouches-du-Rhône), near Marseille, has been identified as that of a woman, “known” to police….
c) Finnish MP and former Interior Minister Päivi Räsänen has announced that she will appeal against the judgment of the Supreme Court of Finland at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)….

1. This was at the top of the inbox
… at Lord Toby’s site:
“Nigel Farage has begged Keir Starmer not to quit today, quipping he’s the “greatest asset we’ve got”, as Labour’s catastrophic local election bloodbath prompts fresh calls for the PM to go. The Mail has more.”
Right … I don’t necessarily mean the difference in narcissistic arrogance between Farage and Lowe … you saw both reactions to their victories but I do ask which of the two seems closer to Starmer’s arrogance?
Also remember the footage in parlmt a year or so ago when, during a break, Starmer crossed the floor to chat with Farage, they embraced at one point, Nige was right chuffed. Do those two embrace and love Rupert to the same degree?
All right, what does it all signify? Many pundits, inc. the MSM, see Farage as PM, inc. Starmer coming out and saying it. Also, he’s not going to resign and “plunge the country into chaos” … not yet at any rate … neither is “ready”.
At the same time, Lady Julia was saying her district in London went Labour. I asked if that was the imported vote, she said … not all. In other words, there is a problem with the indigenous too who just can’t see or choose not to.
Yes, there’s certainly that mode but I’m not sure that that completely explains it. I don’t even mean “politically dumb”, under the control of the MSM … it’s not only that. Last evening, I explored this word I hear from downunder … Teals … apparently a political grouping but why the colour teal, more associated with old Brexit Party here? The “respectable right”, let’s say, whilst hardheads here tend more Restore … dark navy, meaning truly conservative?
Well, ggl Teals and it’s illuminating. It says that they’re “fiscally conservative” but socially … well my interpretation is Woke left, in dogooder, nicely nice ways behind the clipped lawns. Much NIMBYism … demand people take invaders into their “spare” bedrooms but of course not in their district please. Quite similar to Martha’s Vineyard across the pond. Aspirationally upper middle, the Teals’ only MPs are feminist women, with hubbies with “good” jobs in the city.
One of these was once my spouse and I’ll say this … we never truly fought the entire time … there were silences of course. So I do know Conservative women, if not small c … many was our pool party on the patio. There’s one in the better part of town over in my “hometown” across the Pennines.
They would never vote Restore … a farmer? Town and country, don’t forget. Nice city boy Nige is far more their flavour. But Nige is being groomed for office, right? By the PTB? Would you not say so? And his politics is downunder type or Martha’s Vineyard type Teal. I’m scrambling for the word here and can only come up with the term “upper middle aspirant”.
Nowt wrong with aspirations, dreams, doing the best we can … but while completely unaware of what’s going down? Not wishing to know? Until it’s all taken away?
