what is an underachiever? if you sat in front of the tv all day ,did sod all but were as happy as larry until the day you die ,then you achieved all you wanted .

on the other hand if you always wanted to be a millionaire ,with a private jet and a 20 bedroomed house ,but ended up in a 3 bed semi with a ford capri and you died unhappy ,then you were an underachiever.

myself i realized early on that i was never going to go down in history and make billions so went for things i could achieve ,in my life i was also very lucky went to London in the swinging 60's was lucky mixed with people most of you have only read about ,took up a hobby/sport that made me fairly well known in my circle ,had great girlfriends and wives,even if some did not last that long  and now am married to a fantastic wife ,have two great kids who have both done well in life .

had enough money to live quite comfortably ,so in my mind no i'me not an underachiever.

I found the Lighthouse a bit tedious as well and still managed to watch it until about the last 20 minutes, when I gave up.

 

Watched "Burning Kentucky" last night, mainly because I couldn't find much else to download, however despite it being a little difficult to get into early on and some of this was the southern drawl as well as a bit of a mixed story, it did pan out in the end and become much clearer, so overall was not a bad watch.

 

Trying to download an older movie called "Black Robe" but finding it very difficult as it isn't available on some sites and others seem to be infected with loads of pop-ups for other things – – anyone got any suggestions where I might find a good copy? Have tried the PB and RARBG as well as 1337x.

 

Thank you.

Just watched the first part of the Agatha Christie  book ,The Pale Horse ,they say its not true to the book ,its set in 1961 ,dont tell me in the book the guy wasnt married to an upper class black woman with a very posh accent?

well i never ???? 

I feel sorry for kids growing up these days ,its so complicated ,when i was a lad things were simple and normal , never cared if men liked other men or women other women ,they just got on with it ,but didnt constantly preach to us that its "normal" and we should "embrace" every different "like" 

not long ago my grandaughter told me that teacher had told her that it was alright for men to marry each other and have children ,but she could not understand"how they did it" ,she thought only women could have babies . when i was in school all the teachers ever went on about was ,not running in the corridors.

They aren't left-wing propaganda in the slightest. The problem is most likely that you have aged and become a brainwashed right-wing nut who paranoiacally sees left-wing propaganda hidden everywhere. Consult your friendly local psychiatrist.

Oh careful ,you might melt ,its to hot over here for snowflakes.

He's not a woman (probably), he's not black and he's competent at maths. Try again.

Oh come on off the top of my head at this time of night ? we all know many who get into high office are succesful and earn loads of cash ,but are not that bright ,Dianne Abbotts son for one ,she gave him a really good job with a great salary ,but look what he did ,

back home i knew a guy who had a great job ,earned a fortune ,but was like two planks ,got the job through family connections .

You mean there's someone else like her? Name names.

Corbyn ,a Labour leader that destroyed his party and made it unelectable.

Mind you there can be the  reverse in some shows ,in Silent Witness the wheelchair bound forensic scientist lady who originally was included for diversity they portray as having a husband when they should have gone the whole hog and had her being a lesbian with a wife .

Oh wait a minute ,in real life she is.

I don't agree that it is propaganda, some of it might be, but if all tv series have a left wing orientation , it is only because they are made by successful people in the industry, and successful people tend to be intelligent.

 

Dianne Abbott is successful, as are quite a few others like her ,so that shoots that theory down ????

Quite nice there ,the wife runs there with other members of her club, i joined her last week(i walk) surprised that the sprinklers were working to keep the grass nice ,now i see why the lake is so low .????

Well, to be frank, i have better things to do ????

seems they dont ,its their main aim in life ,to kill anyone who doesnt worship God the way they do .

As far as i know, main motives for killing people are greed and lust, mixed with different doses of sheer madness, but carry on blaming God ..

Tell that to the Allha Akbar crowd

No doubt, and perhaps i am a bit cynical, but i have no great hopes for the humans to change their nature anytime soon.

humans have been killing each other since we stood up and walked ,,i suppose many killed each other over which God they worshiped, those that worshiped the sun killed those that worshiped the moon , "my god is better than your god ".

Mine will be 5 years old next year ,so if i want to i can change it to a new one , i just lose those five years  and it starts again ,is that right? ,i will be back on holiday in the UK and live close to the passport office so easy to do .

We drive a lot ,oh its great ,no masses of tour buses all over the place ,Chinese shouting at the top of their voice to someone standing next to them ,now get rid of the roadworks and it will be like the town we came to live in years ago.

Oh ,is thats whats in the Sun ,sounds good ,have to have a look in there ,Glossy pictures of ladies you say? yum yum .????

oh is see its for the semi literate ,darn ime imtelimgent .

luckily we bought some straight away ,but now today when you can find them they are only expensive ones ,tesco chemist today 250 baht for 4

In 12 years never had a problem ,this year changed to Marriage as i did not want to HAVE TO  leave money lying in the bank if i did not want to ,needed a few more photocopies when there ,and it took a little longer ,everyone polite and helpful ,same with the 3 guys who came to our house . so why not for the op? 

Must agree with Britmantoo ,Ave 5 is utter <deleted>, not in the slightest funny ,shame as the idea is good 

anyway new series of Shakespear and Hathaway ,two private detectives ,light British private detective comedy ,all 10 episodes are out in the usual places .
