1. Lord Toby’s first item at TDS today

“The recent Jobs Foundation ‘Cliff Edge’ report is a disturbing insight into the wilful economic and societal destruction of Britain’s oil capital Aberdeen. The standout quote comes from Louise Gilmour, the Scottish Secretary of the GMB union, who described the Labour Government’s “stricken, almost delusional” rush to Net Zero as, “arguably the most destructive industrial calamity in our nation’s history – a disaster risking untold jobs, communities, even higher bills and our energy security”. But the report is flawed – or rather much of the thinking revealed in its excellent local reporting is a delusional halfway mish mash. It is the pace of Net Zero that is often seen as problematic, rather than the actual need for the neo-Malthusian command-and-control fantasy. It reads in parts like the cry of the sinner down the ages: “Oh Lord, make me holy, but not just yet.””

Much “sternly worded prose” but no change in direction from this utter madness. And it IS madness … criminal madness.

“This film opens with this line and is one of the greatest opening hooks I’ve heard in film. These words are spoken as anonymous hands are clanging away on a typewriter. And so begins “Green for Danger”.

This is a great, quirky British mystery drama that I found quite entertaining. At times it’s tense and scary, then its humorous – and then its almost noir. I found this kept the film interesting and the pace was quite energetic. I will say the beginning is a little slow to start after the great opening hook. It starts out looking like it will be just another doctor/nurse soap opera. But hang with it and it gets rolling. 

I found the black and white cinematography to be quite accomplished and loved its great use of architectural shapes, shadows, and the mix of light and dark.

Alastair Sim as The Inspector was great. He has an unusual mug of a face and bulging eyes. He’s tall and somewhat clumsy. And more than a little goofy. He makes quite effective use of sarcasm. I loved his line when he said “My presence lay over the hospital like a pall.”

It was interesting to see some of the old hospital equipment. I noticed there was a coin meter for gas utilities in the kitchen – never saw one before. My only complaint during the film was having difficulty following some of the clipped British accents.

There is a nice twist at the end. The hapless inspector solves the crime, but causes harm in so doing. There is a clever closing line back on the typewriter – ” I offer my resignation, in the confident hope that you wont accept it.”

Quirky piece – loved it!”

To everything, there is a season and when Grifty (Royal Grift) really got stuck into Airmiles, his egregious wife and unfortunate children, I buried it … it’s still available but …

… and this is a big butt … it’s all very well for Grifty in America to tear strips off our royals but actual paedo charges, specifics, in this country, on a Royal … well let’s just say there are nasty people about … think Callan’s section, the Scottish Rite, Tavistock … we have a “more than our life’s worth” situation … just ask the ghost of Diana.

However, now it seems to be all coming out across the pond, specifically on X. Golly gosh, were I our Belived Leader, I’d do something to shut down X within the UK, as if that would stop the revelations. In fact, it’s gone viral over there last night their time.

… here’s one from downunder, west side of The Bay south of Melbourne, with Hwy 1 coming down through Lara and south to the Great Ocean Road, thence southwest along the coast, until finally turning north-west to Adelaide, which DM knows well.

We would camp at Rye, where I met my first true romance, taking in Sorrento and Portsea, plus “the heads”. The opposite shore had Geelong and Ocean Grove, stomping ground of my father’s side of the family, emigrated from West Riding, plus the team I still follow, but on the GOR is Wye River, my mate’s holiday home, plus Lorne, where the Melbourne upper social set also hung out, inc. a young lady I still know decades later. I have similar in North Riding here.

This is about Lorne, an item in the Geelong local rag:

3. If you get a chance, take a look at the Callan episode

HERE … I ran it two days ago. If you can stand Edward Woodward, Anthony Valentine, William Squires and Patrick Mower … good, as it was a tour de force in how to operate. My focus was on William Squires (Hunter) and the most important moment to my mind was when he appeared at the gun practice room and shot three bulls in front of Callan, who noted it (46:28).

Deskbound Hunter … a most significant move. Then in Hunter’s office later, the discussion about Cross. Highly significant about the value of all parties present.

(0634) Morning all. Going to devote this entire post to a minor matter which might have theatened us, had it gone on. It’s also a micro-focus on what is happening between Reform and non-Reform right at this moment. Long experience teaches all of us where that ends up.

Keeping eyes on the main objective

Decades ago, as a young teacher in charge of a year level camp of children and staff, we had the chn ready and waiting half an hour before the sailing of a riverboat … we were first in the queue, the ladies looking after the needs of this or that child.

Riverboat captains were not noted for their bonhomie, their chatty manner … but nor was I. We were first because I wanted the kids on deck, with views, rather than down below in the “hold”. The captain greeted us, no naval cap, just a brimmed hat, hisself swarthy, feisty, gruff … he then proceeded to march us down into the bilges, to fill up the space … the latecomers would have the deck.

I was not having that and refused. No one need teach me, as a sailor, that the captain’s word is law and yet I was also representing these chn and staff, on behalf of the parents. I tried niceness, I tried reason … that “someone” had to be on deck, why not the earlybirds?

Challenge to his authority, a shock to all, he did the face to face eyeballing, our ladies stayed shtum, my natural instinct is always attack, quick knee to the groin and overboard with him but that was not going to work here … he did have a responsibility to the entire party from various schools, plus public, I’d already thought he might order us off so I was going to say no, don’t order them off, order me, I’m the insubordinate bstd, I’d wait onshore, the ladies would attend to our chn. Plus we were not yet “at sea”, so that law does not apply until we cast off.

Anyway, we did go downstairs but to the first level, he rotated who was on deck during the cruise and made sure we had our fair share, good result, but I awaited trouble once we got back … summoned to the franchise’s main office, ladies and chn eating afternoon tea not far away.

He was expecting a firebrand but I saw that he too was strong and ran a good tourist operation, he opened with soothing words, I said let’s get to the nitty gritty … I disobeyed a captain on water.

“Well yes.”

It turned out fine. Captain was already cruising with the next batch, I asked the boss here to convey my apologies to him for the earlier unpleasantness. Anyway, that was that.

Fun with creole

With a dour Yorkshire father and feisty Irish mother … I’m still wondering WTH they were thinking back in the day. Never mind. And yet I’m surrounded by Scots these days, useful to have by you in a fight … they’re feisty plus, whereas the English lad is a brick wall, with violence if necessary.

There’s another factor which came out during Chuckles’s time here. We can run an adversarial, parliamentary or academic style of pitched insult and counter-insult, steeped in rhetoric … or we can run a business model of everyone in a room, laying info on the table, which all present can see and we sort out if it can take us any forrarder or not … at present. But the prime directive, the imperative, is to at least get that info on the table, minus the peripherals.

Personal feelings, umbrage, whatever, have no place in this if we’re going to be a stopping off place for readers to see if there’s anything new. We are not a forum … no way, I’ve neither the time nor the inclination.

I’m quite interested in Dearieme’s stance: “English fits exactly the definition of a creole,” plus in Steve’s reply in comments (you can always find it at https://unherdablecats.com/2026/01/31/saturday-3-onwards-3/). With my landlord’s hat on, I want that discussion archived, preserved … it was interesting.

At the same time, now representing both our protagonists and readers, let’s keep the eye on that particular ball, eh? Are we any forrarder on “creole”? I’d say we are … and in my eyes, that’s a win for us as a whole. …/END.

Rated 3/10, let’s have this again:

“There is definitely a place for movies like Journey to the Center of Time. I really believe that if it weren’t for astonishingly bad movies like this, it would be harder to really appreciate the good ones. I also, on the other hand, wonder what the people were thinking when they were making movies like this, because no one makes famously bad movies deliberately, do they?

At any rate, the movie starts out with a whole dialogue of scientific mumbo jumbo. A lot of it went right over my head because I have no background in science, but I don’t think much of it makes sense anyway, because would a movie like this really make a serious argument about the logistics and technical aspects of time travel? I doubt it, because their destination, as you know, is the “center of time.” Whatever or wherever or whenever that is. 

Early in the movie they describe their destination as “the balance between past and future,” which until now I had always assumed to be the tenuous and fleeting place known generally as “now.” 

But not in this movie, here there are enormously complex time travel experiments being conducted using enormously simple equipment. It’s not long before we are given the bizarre explanation that this is a $14 million project to create a satellite that can show pictures taken 24 hours ago. Is that how much $14 million buys? 24 hours? That’s really too bad. Maybe that’s why most people can only afford surveillance cameras. The cheap, boring time-travel- less ones. No one makes movies about those!

Then again, for all the cardboard simplicity of the lab, they did have a hydraulic lift built in to raise and lower people about 18 inches from the upper platform to the lower platform. A more frugal team would have installed the two stairs, but maybe these guys weren’t quite sure what to do with all that money. 

There is a scene about 30 minutes into the movie where the crew, under a surprisingly effective 24-hour deadline, finally manage to conduct a successful experiment using the, ah, temporal displacement device they have been working on, and they are all shocked to see, on the characteristically 1970’s oval-shaped big screen TV in front of them (and after more than a minute of pictures of galaxies, b-roll, and random head shots), what one of the scientists describes as “the test area. Time central!” I’m glad they knew what they were looking for, the rest of us may have reached the center of time and passed it on by without even knowing to stop!

But soon they notice that they’ve opened a window through which they can see 5000 years in the future, so I reckon it’s going to be a good idea to stop about then. But soon we learn that it’s a window that matter can pass through, so it’s not going to be long before some silver guys in shiny jumpsuits mosey on into the lab and say come with us if you want to live. 

They say that good science fiction movies, especially time travel movies, show us the future to comment on the present. This is a bad science fiction movie, but it still makes sure to comment on the present, specifically man’s seemingly endless capacity and drive to kill each other in war. Even super-advanced future-people can be killed by man’s “primitive” nuclear weapons!

The last third of the movie seems to consist of nothing but seemingly endless montages shown on that video screen, mostly of modern wars, and yet there’s still only enough here for an 82 minute movie. And don’t miss the hilarious hand-to-hand combat scenes! Classic!!”
