Split screen harmonies

 

Apologies to DAD first for this soprano. There are a few reasons.

Firstly, she’s good at these split screen harmonies … not sure though about the Ms Grumpy character she’s introduced, others commented on that.

As for her, herself, she herself described how males saw her … 30, going on 14. It’s actually one reason I avoid her. See, she’s actually 32 till November but her frame is like my ex’s … the eternally youthful, like her mother. Which does raise questions, in Anne Reburn’s case … unmarried, string of boyfriends of the spivvy type, want one thing only from her, always leading to histrionics.

Just like Kylie Monogue was … fishing in the wrong pond … a bit Groucho Marx … anyone wanting her should not get her. I do know the danger, I do feel sorry for her … always the wrong type BSing her. And left-liberal … even worse pool of males available.

But even if she did fish in another pond, gets a fine chap … there is always that lingering question as to why her. That’s the curse of the type. Back to the music … yes, she’s good. Nothing much more to add.

Deliberately spilling spillways under duress

 

There are two issues in this post … first, of course, the engineering itself … and this Texas panhandle man’s engineering and presentation is pretty good, despite occasional music drowning it out … he does know his stuff, does do his homework.

I find myself in a bit of a quandary though … the second issue is him, himself, our Grady. What’s wrong with him? Nothing. Nothing’s wrong.

However.

In previewing so many films and episodes and documentary shorts, there are occasionally decisions which must not be named, hush hush. An example was The History Guy with his bowtie (no, not Martin) and the unfortunate voice and accent … point is, no one attacked him, no one suggested anything wrong … seemed a nice guy … worked hard on his presentation. Like Grady in this one.

And yet … and yet … people did not … sigh … warm to him so much. I’m thinking we’re unfair to people. In my own case, the mongrel accent, the “overweening arrogance in manner”, the “going to give this one a pass” … it may even be how the guy looks in my and other cases. I do understand it. Feminazis, for example, can’t stand me, a toxic male. Nor can middle management types on the way up. I’m not worshipful enough.

With Grady, he’s not (cough) a presenter type … actually, he’s an engineer. And for Brits, that panhandle, high voice. Many people I think see this and feel a wave of sympathy for an honest toiler. He’d not be able to get away with the dlightest creepiness and thankfully, that’s not the issue.

DAD mentioned not being crazy for soprano women’s voices … I can half see that … after a few minutes, it can get wearing. In my own case, it’s the flatness in the voice which puts people to sleep … comes through in the prose if I’m not careful.

I’m not totally sure with Grady, it’s not if you like or don’t like … I’m thinking it’s more “can you warm to a series from him”? Jago’s starting to annoy, Ruairidh ditto. Lefty wimmin? Goes without saying. Tulsi? A bit too deeply masculine for mine.

And so on. In the normal run of life, it hardly matters perhaps but in a presentation … ah. Yes.

Thursday [6 to 10]

10. Your choice … take them or leave them


9. Moo corner

Quick word before starting … it makes more sense to me to run Moo at 9, 14 and 19, with 14 occasionally not used at all, depending on available Moo pics.


8. Steve on Orban and JDV

Liz Churchill: ““AMERICA STANDS WITH US. Thank you for your support, Mr. Vice President JD Vance!” -PM Orban Brussels tried to economically CRUSH Hungary for daring to elect Orban instead of an EU Treasonous Liar…and America just said HELL NO. The EU empire is OVER.”

JH: Naturally, there are terrible things in comments from the left, RINOs, plus those centrist people, apolitical, who put TDS first, political realities a long way back. In the Slavic east, the desired situation is a strong leader such as Bukele in El Salvador who still manages to create a largely peaceful society where once there was chaos.

TRUMP: “I love Hungary, and I love that Viktor Orbán — Remember this, he didn’t allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have.”

JH: Yes, the invaders are certainly the n2 problem today, after the n1 … those who enabled all this.

6. This is just a warning from some people in the US

… it might be different in the UK, might be the same, might even be different for those who already partly use two factor authentification.


In a “what if” situation, given that I shan’t comply any further than what I have already, what then? Well obviously using sources we already have, adjusted. Not sure it’s an immediate issue, yet be aware they do not like sites like this … they’re looking for backdoors. Do not rely in HQ always being here, which is why we have the other sites.

Thursday [1 to 5]

3. What’s Farage playing at?

First, half of Lord Toby today:

Why only half? Because what followed was a party political for Reform, which is seriously compromised after yesterday’s move by Farage to appoint all-invader candidates and then to launch attacks on Restore via Dorries. Rupert responded by thanking them … Dorries being the second best advert for Restore, with Zahawi being the first.

a) A 35-year-old homeless man accused of killing a young Ukrainian refugee on a train in Charlotte has been declared unfit to stand trial for murder. A psychiatric evaluation conducted in late December at a regional hospital concluded he was unfit to be tried. (JH: Iryna and the immigrant)…

b) Nearly 5,000 Afrikaners, descendants of European settlers in South Africa, have been resettled in the United States since the launch of a specific program initiated by Donald Trump….

c) The slow death of the National Trust. Another beloved British institution has succumbed to the cult of self-loathing….

1. Over at OoL

Wednesday [11 till close of play]

(1425) Early to be doing last post of the day but with 24 redacted sshots ready to go, let alone what else comes in … it’s going to be busy.

 

21. Of ziggurats, graven images and triumphal marches

As a set design, it’s certainly grand, the music is grand, the whole effort of all parties in getting the production put on is grand. It’s grand.

But ultimately, for what though? For debunked mystery religions? Ho hum. Sorry to offend.

20. Art versus brutalism


19. Moo corner


18. Scarcely has a “free world leader”

… turned out to be such a horse’s backside:


17. Torquaymada

Another interesting read…

16. On the other hand, this is a fine young lady

… except I do have a criticism further down, in general:


… my criticism being that Amelia speaks of and sings of Christ … I wonder what Christ would have thought of her almost indecent microskirt she wears.

15. This is from downunder

… where there is huge anger across the country about the VC winning war hero who was arrested by this cow below and others, govt diversity appointment. This satirical meme sums it up:


14. Going to lead tomorrow, at OoL, with this sshot

…plus the story of an NHS whistleblower:


13. Moo corner


Not sure, as I said to Moo, if that’s a slingshot or catapult in the nearest lad’s hand … I certainly went around with one, available stones were everywhere.

12. It’s started, thank goodness


11. This was at Steve’s earlier comment at HQ

… not on that topic though:

Wed Mat

 

Not sure where to start with this post … I’m concentrating on the Hugh Beaumont era from 1946 and there are some very interesting tidbits … for example, the secretary/gf was his own wife in the third of five episodes.

https://www.classicflix.com/blog/2019/08/07/the-complete-prc-michael-shane-mystery-collection-arrives-in-november

This is a review of the first:

… and this is the one I maybe like best, mainly because his “Phyllis”, to my mind, was the best gal of the three to play her, there seems chemistry here, plus it’s a weird plot, plus the title is a mystery in itself …

“Hugh Beaumont as Mike Shayne is about to take a vacation with Cheryl Walker. His plans are interrupted when the corpse of a woman turns up in his office and her stepfather hires him to investigate; when the police try to confirm it, he denies it.

I didn’t expect much from this PRC production, certainly not when the screenwriter is named Raymond L. Schrock — which I read off the screen as “Raymond Schlock” — but it’s a nice, twisty little mystery that winds up in a drying-out farm for diposmaniacs; Beaumont is pretty good as the glib Shayne.

Shayne’s creator was Brett Halliday, nee Davis Dresser, and he came up with Shayne as a marketing scheme. There were stories, novels, movies, radio shows, and even a long-running mystery magazine that paid royalties for using the Mike Shayne name. Halliday died in 1977, aged 72.”

Personally, I really like the Beaumont Shayne … there were only five episodes 1946/7, then everybody went his/her separate ways, a tale in itself.

Wednesday [6 to 10]

(1010) That’s brek over, only sheets to drip dry, other washing is up, inc. kitchen, bth’room and me, so warm in this place but the air is poisoned. Even ten mins with window open … straight to throat, coughing from the exact spot as in Jan 2020. There are ways around it and am taking them. (1138)

 

10. Be careful with modern day plod

… Dixons of Dock Green they ain’t.


9. Moo corner


It’s possible we’ve had this one before … I need to re-Moo again.

8. Uh huh


7. Cost of living

6. Not only Steve but Unherdables systems in general.

I reiterate … our gentlemen, taken as a dangerous bunch, are supplying top intel just now but don’t forget Toods who analyses and discusses over in Bama, then sends to-the-point comments, sometimes critical. Plus our other chaps and chapess who fill in the gaps. This is what “tabling” is all about … not in the least looking for traffic unless someone cares to quote us … it’s for people who “wish to know”, shorn of the guff. End of. Plus your own blogrounds you do, plus some MSM thrown in, avec jaundiced eye.

I’m obviously going to support this method, aren’t I?

It takes time … Steve warned me last evening in comments, it took me till an hour now ago to finish exploring … yep, the item which he had posted about five times was in trash:
