Why someone else, either me or his wife, has to go & get a gallon of petrol for him to put in the mower is, I must admit, rather beyond me.
Is it beyond reason for a 36 year old man to walk down to Morrisons, buy a petrol can, and then fill it with petrol?
It'd cost at least £10.
The evening's 3rd feature, since I was bored after 20 minutes of Megastructures, was "Escape from Alcatraz (1979)" with that Clinton Eastwood chap. Dangerman was playing the Warden.
On the big screen this evening: Fail-Safe (1964), in which a bunch of US nuclear bombers are mistakenly sent to bomb the USSR and can't be recalled, much to the chagrin of people on both sides. Good stuff for its day, though calling the system "fail-safe" doesn't seem correct, given that the consequences of a fairly trivial equipment failure are clearly not at all safe
I think I saw this on the telly many, many years ago.
Still too warm, though it seems it'll get worse tomorrow

Goodnight all
I have the dvd and the remake somewhere in the stacks.
Morning all Went to the Bluebird Cafe in Ferring for breakfast yesterday and a walk along the beach with The Dog (tw), followed by a wine tasting at Albury Vineyard. Then our Guineafowl arrived, much hilarity ensued.

Today will be spent watching Guineafowl.
Cripes! I used to live up the road from there, in Goring!
There's people next door in the operations centre but I don't go in there.
Home at lunch time methinks. Especially as I forgot to bring edibles with me as the canteen and coffee shop are closed. (HQ don't care that the people in the ops centre have to man the place 24/7, they only cater for the M-F 9-5 workers...)
