Sunday [11 to 15]

(1012) Elevenses coming. (1114)

 

15. We’re in it right now


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.

6. Here are items best viewed from those post pages

… scroll down once you’re there:

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

3. Have a good flight

Saturday [16 till close of play]

(1529) This will be slow posting through till mid-evening. American clocks go fwd tonight.

 

24. In an unusual move

… bringing you a tram here.


23. More on the clown crim


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?


20. Jim Jordan


19. Moo corner


18. The fall of Spain


17. The fall of Sweden


16. More on that stopped gold convoy

Sat Mat

 

“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.”
