What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Watched 'Investigation Alien' on Netflix. It was a bit amateurish and quite laughable in places, but an OK time waster. They didn't even go into any depth about the Phoenix lights. There were two phenomena that night, what most people saw and what the only footage shows is flares being dropped by A-10's. But there was another event without any video that happened a few hours before where people claimed to have seen a huge metal object going low overhead and making a static hum noise. Also watched 'The Lost Children' about the 4 children who crash-landed in the Colombian rainforest. There were 2 search groups, the army and the indigenous folks. After 40 days the army gives up but the local folk decide to take ayahuasca hoping to have a psychedelic vision as to the whereabouts of the children. They brewed it in the village and had it delivered to them in the forest by army helicopter!

Man Severely Injured Using Hand-held Cutter in Sri Racha
Always make sure the the rotation of the blade is such that if it catches, it will pull away from you and not towards you. I used to work in a workshop where people would take the guard off these and I still have scars on my knuckles - 20 years later. As to using that kind of blade on an angle grinder- just don't.

Haley: Election a ‘Wake-Up Call’ for ‘Woke’ Corporations, Government & Political Parties
Rubbish. This was a backlash to inflation caused by COVID and the Ukraine war. Every incumbent government worldwide suffered the same fate, including the Tories in the UK. Trump was just astonishingly lucky he was the benefactor and so avoided prison. https://www.ft.com/content/e8ac09ea-c300-4249-af7d-109003afb893

No wonder people like to shop at Lazada.
Do all these discounts only work if you purchase through the phone app (As opposed to a PC)?

Trump Watches
Imagine spending $100,000 on a watch with Trump's name daubed on it. Something tells me this isn't going to age well. Weren't they desperately removing Trump's name from buildings a while ago because it lowered the value (and tone🤣) ?

I bought some glue today to repair a plastic PVC chair
You can use baking soda to fill the gap and drip on the super glue. It will form a hard plastic like substance in the gap. I take the top off the bottle of superglue and put in a large sowing needle to drop it on the area I want to glue. I'm talking about the white bottles with the orange cap you find in mom and pop shops. Keep the bottle upright in the fridge and it will last for ages.

Starmer Asserts Control Amid Internal Turmoil Over Sue Gray’s Salary Dispute
I was agreeing with you. This story is a bit like Obama's tanned suit/ Dijon mustard compared to the billions that went missing under the last government.

Starmer Asserts Control Amid Internal Turmoil Over Sue Gray’s Salary Dispute
10.5 billion? Is that all? I thought the test and trace app alone cost 37 billion and somehow got lost down the back of the sofa. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-test-trace-dido-harding-report-b1814714.html

Stealing a Federal Election
Ask Mile Pillow, poor bloke almost went bankrupt trying to prove there was election fraud. Weren't the polls pretty much the same as the election results? Or perhaps they were 'rigged' too. Trump always claims everything is rigged against him. This study is from 2021 and found only 475 potential cases of voter fraud out of 25 million. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/exhaustive-fact-check-finds-little-evidence-of-voter-fraud-but-2020s-big-lie-lives-on

Trump and Vance continue to lie about and demonise Haitians in Springfield
Apparently the rumour was started by a neo nazi group called 'Blood Tribe' Vance saw it as his duty to 'create' this story to serve his community which is now receiving bomb threats. Nice one Vance 👍

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Finally got around to watching '8 Mile' with Eminem. I thought it was good, seemed to be over pretty quickly though. A few others come to mind. 'The Unforgivable' 2021 with Sandra Bullock as an ex con. I don't think I watched it till the end but intend to. 'Last Seen Alive' 2022 is about a man's wife who goes missing. It was OK. 'The Pledge' 2001 with Jack Nicholson. I was OK. 'Nocturnal Animals' 2016 Bit of an odd film about a writer whose new book manifests itself in the mind of his ex lover. 'I Came By' 2022 British film about some graffiti artists who stumble upon a dodgy judge. I liked it.

The killer of seven (or maybe more)…jing-joks
I don't tolerate them in the house either. The mess they make and all the chirping at night, waking me up. You can also use sticky pads like these.

Farage's Breakthrough: Reform UK Makes Waves with Four Parliamentary Seats
I wonder if he's actually going to bother to turn up to parliament or spend his time lining his pockets and stashing it away in offshore tax havens like he did when he was an MEP.
