Nuts.........no she had those removed a while back!!

I watched it and it was an ok movie, one almost made for Bill Nighy and Bill Nighy was born for it. Nothing exceptional and a bit of a plod with a sort of message in it, with a couple of loose ends, but overall worth a watch.

I never expected that thrashing and will watch it on Match of The Day tonight........but 7-0! Bloody embarrassing.

Good for a laugh and to show how much of the kool-Aid has been consumed!

I finally agree with you on something, and IMO Charles is a silly old duffer who basically ruined the young Diana's life, and who has taken the old biddy Camilla in tow. I still can not forget when he was addressing a crowd of dignitaries (don't ask me where because I have forgotten) and it may have been on his 60th birthday, when he referred to the Queen as "mummy", and you could hear the sniggering and titters amongst the listeners – – who, aged 60 years old, refers to his mother as "mummy"?? He has been cosseted and pampered all of his sheltered life and really doesn't know what life is like outside of that protective environment. Obviously Incapable of dressing himself!

A stand out set of plastic puppies in that pic!

Another lengthy post from "cloud cuckoo land" and I can only assume that this is some sort of joke post, meant as a dig at Democrats in general, and supportive of the liar in chief, trump.......

Tucker Carlson wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face, and as Fox News has said, in front of a judge/jury, that nobody should believe what they see/hear on Fox News because it is not actually news, but only the opinions of the presenters and not representative of the truth per se.

I didn't know that Swiss cheese could catch Covid! Seriously though, when you consider that viruses, bacteria and fungal infections can be zoonotic, and some very serious ones have jumped from animals to humans, then the theory that Covid came from an animal (bat for example) is very plausible indeed, and even now the medical specialists/profession seem "split" on the origins of it.

I found the second series of "Clarkson's Farm", downloaded the episodes and started to watch them last night, and will probably do a mini binge again tonight or tomorrow. I find Clarkson and his antics/endeavours to be entertaining, and of course I learnt something about farming last night........

I saw it a few years ago just after it came out, and it was a good movie, but with a certain sadness to it by virtue of what it was all about. The acting was great and well worth a watch.

I bought a "MicroLife" BP machine from Boots, complete with supply transformer, or can use batteries if you want. Great little machine and of course if you have any problems then Boots will most likely help out.

I don't think tattoos make someone bad. Not so sure about that and somewhere I did have research that was done on the link between tattoos and criminals, and there was a large correlation between those who had tattoos and those who were criminals, and to quote something else: – "Are tattoos associated with criminals? The tattoo became the badge of an adventurous life; it has also been used for centuries to mark prisoners and criminals. Outlaws and inmates in many cultures often elect to mark themselves with designs that document their crimes, sentences, and beliefs.

I would just like to add something to this thread, and it's not directly "OnPoint" however it is related, so here goes......... Many times in my life I have come across male friends who just cannot cope on their own, this more so if a girlfriend or wife has left them. One friend in particular was even unable to open a can and his main meal consisted of a grilled lamb chop (grilled almost to a crisp) and any peas that he could force out of a can with a large knife and wonky tin opener, and that was it, day in and day out. I learned of his plight when he invited me around for dinner, and I couldn't eat what he put in front of me, and whilst I was there I had to sew a couple of buttons on his shirt for him! In short, he was absolutely useless on his own and I found a girlfriend for him which helped, and eventually he found a full-time one, and he married her. That is just one glaring instance, however there are others, and to me it goes to prove that some men are absolutely hopeless on their own, and really do need a companion of some description or another to take care/look after them.

I do believe that the woman saying to a guy that, "you will become a lonely old man" is meant to hurt, but my ex-wife could never understand that I needed some space and a little bit of freedom, not to be up to mischief, but to have time to myself, so in fact she was allowing me to do just that when she left, without really knowing that she was in the process of making me happy again!!!!

Agree with that comment, and I've been on my own (alone) for most of my life apart from an unsuccessful three year attempt at marriage, and living together with a Thai girl for five years, and I'm now 76 this year. I preferred to be on my own when I was very young, even learning to cook at a young age, which stood me in good stead for the rest of my life, and I prefer to be on my own now, although I do know a couple of Thai girls who would be more than willing to share a room/house/bed with me, but not for me. I do remember my ex-wife in the UK shouting at me as she realised the marriage was over, and she said, "you will be a very lonely old man", to which I replied, "I will be alone, but never lonely". True enough I like company sometimes and catch up with a few friends here and there, but in the main I spent time on my own, and like it that way. PS. I couldn't be bothered to watch the video clip, so I just referred to your post!

I agree with your "an inside job" remark, and it reminds me of a similar event two or three years ago, by another well-known bank – – although they knew nothing about it! One of its floor managers (or similar) sent out letters to investors with large amounts in their accounts promising much higher returns than the bank was offering and couched it as being a "special offer which should be kept quiet" or words to that effect, and it was successful because there were many people who invested in this "special offer". Of course it was a scam operated by someone within the bank and customers invested millions of baht in it, however I'm not sure whether the money was repaid because I think initially the bank basically washed its hands of the whole thing saying that it was nothing to do with them! TIT of course.

And the madness continues:- (notice the common thread linking these)........... 1). Doctors who supported ivermectinopens in a new tab or window as a treatment for COVID-19 -- despite all the evidence against itopens in a new tab or window -- now claim it can treat flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as well. (Washington Post). 2). Meanwhile, the Lee County Republican Party in Florida passed a conspiracy-laden resolution that would ban all COVID-19 vaccinesopens in a new tab or window in the state if passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. (Cape Coral Breeze). 3). And more madness: If two Idaho state lawmakers get their way, it would become a criminal misdemeanor to administer a Covid-19 mRNA vaccine in Idaho. Yep, you heard that correctly. State Senator Tammy Nichols and State Representative Judy Boyle, both Republicans, have co-sponsored House Bill (HB) 154 for Idaho, otherwise known as the “Gem State.”

Let me rephrase that for you: – Decent, sensible people who look forward to truthful and "uncontaminated" news are keen to take off air those who promote lies and mislead others with their comedy programme masquerading as a news channel. There, that's better.

A friend recommended this documentary to me, and I found it on 1337x.to, and it is called, "The Plastic Ocean" and I was absolutely astounded at what I saw. What started out as a trip to look for the blue whale, turned into an exposé into plastic in the ocean and how it is affecting the seabirds, and my oh my, some of the scenes were absolutely astounding/alarming, with seabirds having stomachs absolutely full of small pieces of plastic. I hadn't realised the extent of this until I saw this doco. It also dealt with the plastic pollution in the Philippines, which again is disgusting, especially as kids are playing around in this toxic mess. I urge anyone interested in keeping the planet pollution free, to watch this documentary.

Great post Bangkok Barry and I totally agree with what you have said.....thanks for posting it even if you did so before.

Similarly, ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have uses for more than just their main use. So I guess we can rule out hydroxychloroquine as an alternative treatment for cancer!!!!

Didn't help this guy though................ Vladimir Zelenko, MD, an upstate New York doctor who gained notoriety during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic for his controversial treatment ideas, died last week in Dallas, Texas, at 48, according to an obituary in The New York Timesopens in a new tab or window. Zelenko garnered national attention for claiming that hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for COVID-19 after former President Donald Trump championed his ideas in the early days of the pandemic, according to the Times.

Strange post as I have posted many times about the myriad of clinical trials that prove ivermectin is ineffective for treating Covid, AND I was merely replying to a couple of instances by the poster, so "wasting our time" is an odd retort........can you read?

Don't let the facts get in the way of truth/reality.......... Ivermectin is not shown to be effective against Covid-19 in clinical trials according to the findings of a joint University of Oxford and Mahidol University study. The study that was published on the peer-reviewed eLife medical journal found that high doses of the drug ivermectin, controversially recommended by some high-profile political and media figures during the pandemic, is ineffective at treating the virus. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-ftx-ivermectin-together-trial-idUSL1N32I1H1 Fact Check-2015 Nobel Prize for ivermectin intended for treatment of parasitic infections doesn’t prove its efficacy on COVID-19 Correction Sep. 23, 2021: paragraph one has been corrected to clarify that the drug Ivermectin was not awarded the Nobel Prize. Rather, the prize was awarded to two scientists for their discoveries involving the drug. AND as for the involvement of FTX surely not the same company....... FTX Trading Ltd., commonly known as FTX, is a bankrupt company that formerly operated a cryptocurrency exchange and crypto hedge fund. Sam Bankman-Fried hit with four new criminal charges
