And I'm not the only one to call out your disingenuous clickbait bollocks, all dressed up in a patronising veneer of seemingly calm and reasonable language. You're not the only one on this thread that operates this way. . . This being a prime example of the way you tend to operate. That you've...

I think it's worth pointing out Kirk gets a kick out of 'stirring the pot', needling people into responding to his clickbait nonsense, hence his continued derogatory use of the term 'comrades', etc'. John

The Dead Zone is one of the better adaptations. Christopher Walken delivers a powerful, and for me, convincing performance. Martin Sheen hams it up a little but this doesn't distract from his portrail as a psychotic President elect. Tom Skerritt is also worth watching. John

*Says a Pro-Israeli genocide apologist. For clarity, although I'm sure you don't need this spelling out - a FIFY is simply an alternative take on your premise. Most times tongue in cheek, but not this time. Your continued attempts to rewrite the facts to suit your chosen narrative I find just...

The Liz'ard is currently bigging up Trump, hoping he'll become El-Presidente-for-Life and she will be his close - choose your noun - ally/concubine/conquest. She believes, attempting to sell the notion, that when the shrivelling orange was president the world was a safer place. . . Which leads...

Our induction hob, also inexpensive, 'pulses' all the time on low settings. The pulses increase in frequency when at higher settings, and don't at all when set to maximum. We've had this kitchen for eight or nine years now and this behaviour hasn't proved to be a problem. Although I appreciate...

I wouldn't even try to guess the number of the many million's of lives that have been saved by the NHS. It is undoubtedly a colossal figure. That Pearson is having her bizarre bile published anywhere is somewhat symbolic, and a measure of, how irresponsible and deeply corrupt Britains...

Lazy Liz'ard in her ‘Party’ frock Preening and proud upon her rock Looks into the mirror with satisfied glee But wonders who’ll do my hair for me Where’s my PAs at Number 10? Make-up done by Kwasi Kwarteng? Shorting the pound for Tuften Street Leading the nation up the creek Now the Queen is...

J Pie has a few words to say about The Scum's endless blame-game politics as they now target the homeless. John

That's the longest intro (1:25:02) to a song I've ever heard. I skipped through it to avoid the onset of hypersomnia tho'. Is the rest of the song any good? ;) John

Are you sure? That's a lot of fingers. John

This is anecdotal based on personal experience and 'what someone said'. Something I gleaned from an NHS practitioner last year - there are a number of reserved slots for appointments, tests, scans and treatment that remain open until filled by patients paying for private healthcare* or...

Coupla weeks back me and my partner went to the cinema to see Dune pt2. We had the obligatory 20 minutes of advertising to sit through, and without exaggeration I soon felt physically sick as every single advert consisted of fast and relentless motion sweeps/jump cuts/orchestral stabs. I had to...

I can't but help having Bill Watterson spring to mind whenever I catch up on this thread - 'Scientific Progress Goes Boink!' His observations, sometimes subtle, on the march of technology and the assumptions we make. And how much of it is not only unnecessary, but has adverse effects, or is...

And yet, a thread @The Captain, that you feel interesting enough to want to engage with your own commentary. Perhaps then, the subject is not quite so boring, certainly not to a number of other members. . . John
