Bloody hell, nowadays we have a remote controll and if that plays up we will scream blue murder as we have to shift our arses of the sofa and go and fix the tv by hand.

Only ever been seasick once and that's when we emigrated to Australia and we travelled through the Bay of Biscay, I woke up after being rocked around in my sleep all night. What made it worse was looking at my old man (ex-navy) walking around smoking a roll-up cigarette in his gob plus eating a sandwich at the same time with not a care in the world.

My old fella nowadays looks like a dead shrimp and couldnt even raise a toothpick if it tried.

If anybody likes Regency Period drama then you should watch this, 2 Series and me and the wife are now watching the 2nd series, I do love watching shows like this and the scenery and costumes are stunning, I was tempted to make this as a thread on its own. Bridgerton (2022) - Drama/Romance S1 - 5 Episodes/ S2 - 8 Episodes

Is it just me? could not log on in here or my mobile saying site not available plus very slow loading, I presume it was just a small glitch. Edit: Not slow loading now and going pretty fast, I was down for about 30 minutes.

Peppermint (2018) - Jennifer Garner, John Ortiz - Thriller - 8.5/10

The wife is petrified of doctors and hospitals and years ago when we lived down South she had a cyst on her back, I wouldn't say it was big but it started to seep and her Doc told her she would have to get it removed, I ended up getting one of the family down from Scotland to chum her to a private clinic and get it removed as she kept telling me to get lost when I told her she had to go. Her big sis came down and the wife did not tell her to get lost as knowing Pat she would have dragged her there, end of story.

War is war, a lot of troops wherever think in the heat of the moment, a fierce battle is raging and they are not going to yell out "lay your arms down and surrender..." they don't have time to capture prisoners and march them away, its kill or be killed, the ones fleeing away could easily pick up weapons and start shooting back, war is evil whichever way you look at it. If you look at old clips of WWII and the Americans invading the islands on their way to Japan you will see Japanese prisoners surrendering but the Americans would not accept the surrender until the Japanese stripped off their clothes. The reason was that the Americans learnt the lesson in the early stages of the war that the Japanese surrendering would commit suicide by hiding grenades on themselves and soon as they got close to the Americans they would kill themselves and take as many of the enemy they could with them. This is nowadays a form of suicide bombers, you can't take the risk in the battle of being killed in the heat of the moment.

AAAGGGGG, every time if that show pops up I turn it over quick smart, I can't look at them big lumps and whatnot they make me cringe.

@Stan's wife

Could be both together

@Smiley Culture Over 2 months now hope he is ok, always liked reading his posts, especially football-wise.

Forgot to say, glad you are ok buddy, I have been in the hospital a few times in my life and I have so many scars on my body from stitches that I look like a snakes & ladders board.

@MUFC?

Having a run of Schwarzenegger films, I love the end scene in this one with Arnie saying "They caught a train" Eraser (1996) - Schwarzenegger - Action/Crime/Thriller - 8.0/10

I think I mentioned this before on here but I remember having a panic attack years ago when we lived in a flat 3 floors up, it was an early winters morning and I went out to get some a newspaper, the stair lights were off and it was pitch black but I made my way down the stairs ok. It was a bad time for me as I had just been made redundant from my job (again, for the third time) and I was very low in spirits and really down in the dumps, as I made my way back up the stairs which were still pitch black I started to sweat and was short of breath, by the time I got to our front door my hands were shaking and I could not get the key in the door. I started to bang and the door and yelled to the wife, when she opened the door I just staggered in and could not breathe properly and collapsed on the sofa, Liz thought I was having a heart attack and started crying, I managed to get my breath back and calmed her down. She called a Dr out and he did his bit examination wise then told me I had a panic attack and then he told me that it looked like I had asthma and to go and see my local Dr, which I did and I ended up with 2 pumps for asthma and a pump for COPD which I still use nowadays. The good thing about all that is I am still here 20 odd years later.

Can just imagine doing that to someone who was pissed as a newt and could not see or think straight, a smack in the gob from that person I reckon.
