I agree to a point. The middle 3 were crap, but I think disney's efforts were a lot better and more true to the originals.

True - although this might just be me, but I found Babu Frik almost as annoying as Jar Jar Binks - thankfully the former had rather less screen time though.

Han Solo being in the movie surprised me. 

Babu Frik didn’t bother me as much as the female Power Ranger. That outfit just looked sooo out of place!

Laguna?! They don't really have manual gearbox issues.

You mean M32 gearbox more like!

Just watched Top of the Pops New Year Special.

In the words of my late father "what a load of shit". If nothing else, I now know I'm old.

Not me.  They seem to have contrived the whole thing to give everyone who was ever involved in the series some screen time in the final episode.  Like that completely gratuitous shot of Wicket the Ewok at the end.  Even bloody John Williams had a cameo ffs.

Got a weird message from a chap I'd been racing in a game.

I replied inbetween games but after I finished I looked online and Google suggests its a French racist slur towards English people. 

I ain't fucking English, I'm Scottish you cunt.

If he carries on, send him a picture of yourself in your Union flag undies.

[New POD]

In the words of Billy Bragg.

Take down the Union Jack....etc

 

But not if they are your undies and you are in public.

I prefer Scammell starter buttons.

So the modern has been parked on the street opposite my place in Torquay for the last week. I've noticed it every time I walked the dog but that was interest.

Today we came back north so fetched it around to the house to load up and found this under the wiper.

I thought it was the usual one saying scum bags are operating in this area don't leave things on show etc.

Anyway, I was about to lob it into a bin when I opened it.

At least they were honest, although I wonder if the got the CSI boys out!

So they came within inches of a full on crash?

Could you ask perhaps a little churlishly if anyone is being charged with careless driving ?  

And demand they pay for your blind spot mirror that seems to have been knocked off.

Any smaller and we'd be looking at a woman.  Was that picture taken in the deepest mid winter ?

I had thought of that, but it's a narrow road and trying to pass a vehicle going the other way involves getting as close as you can to the parked cars. I do wonder if PC Plod has been expecting a call from his boss over Xmas though.

Get in touch and tell them no damage found and thank them for their honesty.

Shit the bed, I'd never profess to be good at English but this is piss poor.

A mate has had some issues with his diesel Nissan van and additional personal stuff has popped his head, van has cut out a few times and he's lost faith in it so offered it to me for 1500 which was too cheap, I scanned it and the injectors or HP fuel pump were on their way out. I offered to get shut of it and today I wazzed down to we buy any car and managed to squeeze 2450 out of them , it was a remarkably painless experience to be honest, 3 x bodywork issues identified which was fair but £50 taken off for a missing book pack was a piss take, would use again though ! ( to dump stuff with impending doom)

That seems to be the standard* of education* nowadays.

Advanced technology: helping the ill-educated to be even more inarticulate.

Darwin at his greatest...

For the first year I’ve lived in this frozen tundra called Minneapolis, the cops have said the ice on the main lake is too thin to be out on, so no trucks, no ice houses, no snowmobiles etc as there’s a danger of falling through.

Obviously, people know better - like this guy with his ice fishing hut...

 

And this guy in his pick up... (my wife saw it break through and said that the guys wife(?) in the passenger seat didn’t look too impressed...)

 

Yet amazingly people still went out on the lake again last night, with a snowmobile falling through and being lost until the upper crust melts. And guess what, the stupid idiots are out there again today!

Revenge of the technical writer; it's pretty boring, you've got to get your kicks where you can.
