Surprisingly good movie.
Watched Live Die Repeat tonight.
Also surprisingly good for what it is.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

My phone wouldn't connect to the phone network at all earlier - I turned if off and back on again and that seems to have cured whatever the problem was
I had that today - are you on vodafone / one of their mvnos?PasturesNew wrote: »Anybody else watching Channel 4 - looking at TV programmes we watched in the 70s and how shocking they are to today's viewers.
e.g. children's programmes where windy the miller got drunk and fell asleep; the puppets in Thunderbirds smoking and drinking; comedy programmes groping girls for a laugh, several instances where rape was brought into the joke, girls stripping off for a swim in cigar ads, Benny Hill's topless nubile girls at 8pm as there was no watershed.
I really hate when they edit old movies / pictures to remove things that are nowadays frowned upon, the original cut of ET the guy has a gun (well it is America) and they took it out - yes perhaps I prefer no gun but I think altering history (even just in a movie) puts one on dodgy ground....I think....0 -
We have a double birthday tomorrow. Two of our children were born on 16 November, 5 years apart. So, DW has banished me from the kitchen, so she can make a birthday cake for one and a birthday pavlova for the other. I'm sadly not allowed to help.
OMG - is this another np thing? DD2 and DS are 3 year apart twins...The Girl is desperate to see Malificent. Over here it's an M (12) but in the UK it's a PG I think. I don't know whether the difference is in the edit or in attitudes.
I took DD1 and 2 of her friends and DD2 (8) to see it on DD1s 10th birthday. DD2 sat next to me and said it was fine, I think DD1 and friends found it a bit scarey/some nightmares but all enjoyed it - then we went again with DS as well and all were fine.
Finished reading 'Curious incident of the dog in the night' - I completely got all the autisitic stuff except for the bit about not being able to have hugs, that I would find too hard
Don't think I have ever bought anything 'Black Friday' - often they are just the normal deals rehashed, some of the Amazon ones are ok but they are pretty impossible to actually buy before sold out if you work.
Went to an 80th birthday party this evening, don't tell the rest of the board, I was the only white face there out of about 100.I think....0 -

As we have five children, the probability of us having at least one set of years apart twins, assuming the dates are randomly and independently distributed, is 2.7%, ie
1- (364.363.362.361/365.365.365.365)
I have used . to mean multiply.
The chance is smaller for you, as you have 3(?) children.
As Nikki so tactfully pointed out, the dates may well not be completely random or independent. So, that would greatly increase the chances of this happening.
By the way, there must be lots of coincidences that do not happen within the NP. For example, I don't think any of us have suffered from a whole range of fairly rare diseases such as Polio, smallpox, Typhoid, Malaria. These non-coincidences don't get mentioned, of course.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
One of my SILs had her two daughters two years less one day apart.
Of the 14 children of one of my other brothers, 4 have birthdays within 6 days of each other in late September. Obviously nothing on the TV at Christmas (hope that wasn't unsuitable for the NP topic).
In addition, of the two SILs above, they both gave birth on exactly the same day and year once, so the offspring are virtual twins.
We know how to live life on the edge in our family..0 -

Surprised they didn't kick you out. The white man's got no rhythm!
No one objected when I said there was no way I was going to dance...
DDs both performed solo in front of all despite known ng only very few of the guests. I have no idea of where they get their confidence from.I think....0 -
Yeah, looks more like moose pasta to me.

Not the yaks that someone here killed with their eye bullets? (Was it you?)Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
