And I do like Fiona Bruce (despite her tax dodging credentials). I like her jacket. Exactly what I've been looking for since I put a hole in the sleeve of my similar style denim jacket. I found one in a little designer shop in Fleet last week - perfect, expect for the colour; a sort of dusky pink. Nice enough, but not really 'me'. It was half price in the sale though, so maybe I should go back and see if it's still there....

Perfect - exactly what I want. But the smallest size is 22. I need to eat more chips.Comment

Where's Mr Bunk these days? Hasn't been seen in this 'hood since 22 July. No mention of a holiday - how dare he disappear without so much as a
?
Edit: a brief appearance on 29 July, so he's not dead.Comment

My BBT.
Half day tomorrow working round transporting mother to London for a week in dry dock for 'tests', assuming there's a bed available. We have to phone at 10:30, and get her there by 12:30. They clearly aren't aware just how slowly she moves...
Then two days off to celebrate our anniversary. Will interlace hospital visits with Hawksmoor and a night in London for some
(<-- tongues a possibility, if you can't after 25 years, then when can you?)
Proper day in the office on Thursday, then another half day on Friday to do the hospital collection, assuming that said bed is available tomorrow.
But for now,

Good luck, if things get too overwhelming with mother, I am sure someone will offer to sub in your place with MrMS (the Hawksmoor will be worth it)Originally posted by mudskipper View PostMy BBT.

Saw that in the kinema about 30 or so years ago.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostExcellent film
In similar vein - well, insofar as it involves a ship - I'm going to watch The Final Countdown, about a modern US aircraft carrier being sucked into a temporal vortex and finding itself in a position to stop the attack on Pearl Harbour
(Should probably spell it "Harbor" as it's American. Ho hum.)
The dvd resides next door in one or other of the piles.
Only managed 2 eps of Callan this evening coz I'm feeling a bit

How interesting.
I appear to have conflated The Final Countdown with "The Philadelphia Experiment" despite knowing that Kirk Douglas was in The Final Countdown.
Which was made some 35 years ago.
Even longer ago than I thought.Comment

Yes, 1980 - the last film I ever saw in a cinema with my father and older brother, our lives no longer being organised in such a way that we get to do such thingsOriginally posted by zeitghost View Post
It's cleverly done but, looking at it now, it does also come across in parts as an extended advert for Nimitz class aircraft carriers. I found myself wondering if the US Navy said "You can use our boat, but you've got to show how it can do all this cool stuff" or if the scriptwriters said "OMG look at all this cool stuff it can do! We've got to work that in somehow!"
Still, the boat-boosting was worked in rather well, and didn't really distract from the ripping time-travel yarn
And, of course, in those days we didn't have a thousand documentaries a week about military hardware, so all the bits showing off what the boat (and its aircraft) could do were, in fact, really cool
