I was impressed by how much better "48 Hrs" was than "The Warriors".
Despite "The Warriors" having left more of an impression in what little remains of my memory than "48 hrs" did.
I'm currently looking at the datasheet for a PIC18F25K50 and it's taken the better part of half an hour to find the contents of a particular register after reset.
These things are getting much too complicated.
In other other news, yesterday's tea/dinner has reached the making wind stage. <- Put that light out.
Even though I've seen him in loads of things, for some reason the film I always remember David Warner for is Time After Time (1979), in which H. G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) builds an actual time machine, and Warner plays his friend who's secretly Jack the Ripper. He steals the time machine and travels to present-day (i.e. 1979) San Francisco to continue his campaign of murder, with Wells in pursuit. I might watch that again soon, actually

I liked that one. It does not exist in the collection currently.
Where the feck are all these hairdresser/barber shops coming from?
There's hundreds of the buggers, of all sorts, including a large number of "Turkish".
Is there really enough demand to keep them all going?
Though having watched some millennial oik having curious patterns shaved into his short back & sides, it does make one wonder.
I know! There's already loads round here, and I don't think more than two of them existed ten years ago
There might have been a small gap in the market when the place over the road closed around 2012, becoming first a motor spares place and then "Booze City" before its current incarnation as a picture framer's. But that was a proper ladies' hairdressers that looked like it hadn't changed since some time in the 1970s (though I think it was actually younger than that); I doubt they would have had any idea what a "fade" was.
I've patronised the same establishment for a mere 50 years or so, and IIRC, I was taken to the previous barber's shop for the years before that, oddly that shop was knocked down so "they" could build Yet Another Tesco, which was, in turn, knocked down the year before last, having been there a mere 40 years.
The Strangelove Great Grandfather's house was knocked down so "they" could build the Magistrate's Courts, which, in turn, were knocked down after a mere 40 years.
