The Flight of the Navigator (1986), a golden oldie but still great to watch, seen it last night again!!

I wonder if the driver still has a job? Luxury cars crushed as transporter hits low bridge in Perth 2 hours ago A car transporter has crashed into a low bridge in Perth, causing tens of thousands of pounds of damage to luxury cars it was carrying. The roofs of at least two new Range Rovers were crushed in the accident in Marshall Place at about 08:00. Police were called to the scene as debris on the road caused rush-hour traffic problems. Network Rail later tweeted to say the bridge had been inspected by engineers and was "passed fit for rail traffic". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-45964816

I think they will be feeling the heat now with all the publicity surrounding this as the guy that took the video of the incident said "He told BBC Breakfast: "I had to make a difficult decision at that time because if I had stepped in I don't think you would have seen the footage that I captured." The guy that did the racial abuse will have his mug shot everywhere soon, it's been shown on tv etc so far.

'Name and Shame' I would say but will the Spanish authorities act or just sweep it under the carpet? A man who was filmed racially abusing a woman on a Ryanair flight has been identified, police said. Essex Police said it had identified both parties involved in the incident and passed the details to the Spanish authorities who were leading the investigation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-45951232 Edit: "Ryanair will take the matter further", I wonder what they mean by that ban the guy from any further flights with Ryanair?

Looks like Ryanair are washing their hands with it and sweeping it under the carpet, people should boycott Ryanair and choose other airlines for transport.

Seen that on the evening news, disgusting behaviour by the guy in question and Ryanair for not tossing the arse off the plane.

Jose has some temper

Our eldest grandson asked me (4 years ago) in a cafe what is a 'Glasgow Kiss' I told him and he said: "Like this granddad"...OUCH!!

A good old weather thread, I love the cold especially snow and last year we got hit with the 'Beast from the East' and it was like this when you looked out of our flat window... But I loved it and the wife hated it, most of the shops run out of basic bits and pieces, no busses but our local garage just up the road managed to get some shopping in which I walked up in the beautiful white fluffy stuff, I loved it. This morning it started off sunny and 9c but has got a bit windy now but just nice weather for me, the wife is cold so she has the central heating on, yuk||

Wish United had this guy back as captain.

I think I will move down near you lol. Must be the area(s) you live in I would imagine but this ex-serviceman's I joined is in the local town of Leith, Edinburgh, most British Legion Clubs around here in Edinburgh charge £3.20 a pint and I am a member of the Dalkeith British Legion and their pints might be a bit cheaper than £3.20 but not anywhere near £1.50, the Dalkeith Miners Club that we use now and then charge £2.70 a pint. Better than a packet of cancer sticks!!

And it was!! I had 2 pints of lager which cost me £6.20, I checked the prices of cheap cigarettes nowadays and they cost £8 odd.

A few of these went down well at the local club, BBUUUURRRP

Off to the club now and sink a few lagers and they won't cost £7 odds for a pint!!

I stopped smoking a year ago on 8th of December, I remember that day well as I ended up in the hospital with a collapsed lung, in there for two weeks and discharged after having a minor op, have not smoked since. The money saved though was phenomenal, a packet of the cheap brand of cigarette up here was £7.35 at that time and as my wife does not smoke the things we have bought is just crazy, lovely going into a shop and just hand over the dosh, going to the local club later and every time I sink a pint of lager I will say to myself "this is cheaper than buying a packet of cigs!!

He has footy training this morning and he has woke up in a terror mood so god help the other young ones on the pitch this morning

Read the book and seen the film with Hanks as Langdon, good read and a good film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382625/

I love Jack Higgins books too and have a load of them especially with the characters Dillon & Ferguson I have books everywhere and the wife keeps saying "You have far to many books, give some away" and I politely say "no", cough, cough.

Visual is a major thing in anyone's minds really, I saw the first James Body movie many moons ago 'Dr No' with Sean Connery and after that I started to read the books by Ian Fleming and guess what, whenever I read a James Bond book after that I pictured Connery as Bond, when other Bond movies came out after that with the likes of Roger Moore I just could not watch them. Yet I am a book buff and like a lot of authors and one is the late but great Robert Ludlam, he created the Jason Bourne series of books and when I read them (again, many times lol) I picture Matt Damon as Bourne, weird but that is me.

I have been asked this question many a time and my reply has always been... Jack Reacher in the books is described as being 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall, weighing 210–250 pounds (95–113 kg) and having a 50-inch (130 cm) chest. Tom Cruise is... Height 1.70 m, Weight 77 kg, no way in a million years could Cruise be Reacher, when I saw the first movie 'One Shot' where Reacher was offered out in a car park for a fight, In the book some of the 5 guys were over 6ft tall yet there is Cruise fighting them at 5ft odd, I just pissed myself laughing, someone like Liam Neeson would have been a far better Reacher, my son though has watched both films and although he agrees with me that Cruise is not the type for a Reacher character but said he acted the part quite well, look at the Video of the fight below, Cruise at 5ft odd fighting 6ft odd guys.
