    I loved that. I particularly loved the little girl who cried because she didn't get a medal for dancing. :)

    Thanks for the reminder - I'd forgotten I recorded this and have only watched the first episode.

    I watched the original film "The secret Life of Four Year Olds"; can't remember if it was on earlier this year or if it was last year, but I remember one little girl saying to one of the others "You know that big boy? If he gives you trouble....just hit him."

    On a personal SHF scenario (job loss), I have often thought of putting loads of money on credit with my gas and leccy, so I would say have a years paid for in advance. I haven't, as wonder if a wider SHF scenario hits, and I lost the money and fuel. This kind of thing makes you wonder doesn't it.




    On the cat front. To be fair I don't think she would eat me as I probably wouldn't be her kind of flavour. However, if she were the size of a german shepherd she may well have killed me by now, and most certainly would have been captured by the army and put down due to crimes against various humans.


    Edit.....oh yes...i'm without a doubt dead. I have just had the death-look due to crawling back into bed.....and the bed moved a bit and disturbed her.

    In fact, thinking about it, if someone is that hyper-vigilant......disturbed is what she is..!....
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    I would be worried if Russia cuts off gas supplies to Turkey. They get 57% of their energy from Russia so would have serious problems if it happened over winter.

    Add in a boycott of Turkey by Russian tourists and the economy would take a nose dive.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.
