62 Austin Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Some others commented on the latest "Star Wars" multi-million-dollar epic. Glad to see the character Chewbacca survive the episode -- though the British-American chap who played him for years died in 2019. The 7'-2" fellow has been succeeded by a 6'-11 1/2" one from Finland. The female lead Rey has survived, as well. I liked her performance -- she's young enough she can carry on for another 40 years, unlike some of the other cast. I read an up close and personal blurb claiming Daisy Ridley was working as a server or bartender just five years ago in a city in the U.K. & that she made minimum wage (= 8 USD) at that time. Those rags to riches pieces are made up a lot...and I wonder how much of it is true. She doesn't do a lot of talking in her role....but to me she sounds more Australian or New Zealandish in her speech. Roobarb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! I don't drive out on lakes. If you had had 20 days of -20 F. maybe i'd walk out on it. Makes me wonder how many of these idiots are looking for a big insurance payback. Roobarb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that, then realized my sons friends all do it too because #TikTok or whatever it’s called. TVs are so last century... Either way round, I hope one day they realize just to enjoy the moment. Perhaps a good venue will offer after performance downloads to prevent this ridiculousness in future? jumpingjehovahs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how many of these idiots are looking for a big insurance payback. Reminds me of the time (Boxing Day 1984) I walked on Derwent Water in Keswick. There was a hole cut in the ice by the shore which was at least a foot thick. I turned back to shore as I got closer to the middle, when I thought I could feel the ice moving and hear micro cracking. There were people ice skating on it. No trucks though. Roobarb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I've come to admire some of the DIY in this house. Why spend money when there's a roll of brown parcel tape in the drawer? Loft hatch handle broken? No problem! Use half a peg and a wood screw. Want an extra light in the hallway? Nick one from the caravan, dig out a channel in the plaster with a wood chisel, then run the wire the longest route you possibly can into another room to reach a plug socket. Filler is for losers, so just paper over everything. Don't want to use it any more? Just snip the plug off the wire (that looked for all the world like telephone cord) and paint over the remains with gloss. Be sure to leave the caravan light in the hallway and never dust it. Mind you, I can't complain too much since I've repurposed the wall light into a desk lamp, just need to find or make it a slightly better base. There is one plus side to repairs like this at least, which is that usually old stuff is still there and easy to put right properly, so far no bodge has been irreversible and sometimes, you make nice discoveries like the original kitchen floor, even if the kitchen does have three different sets of cupboards, most of which are heavily gloss painted so they match*. I'm probably* a bit* weird, but I'm really enjoying just gradually putting things right without overly modernising the place by ripping everything out and blowing a bank loan at Focus Do It All. loserone, rainagain, The Moog and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just had an advert from a local pet shop pop on my arse book thing. Quail as pets. Quail.A fucking game bird. First question : can these live outside. Honestly. I worked as an under keeper when I was younger, they were bred in their thousands to be blasted with shotguns love.
