After the disappointment of "Out of Sight", to-night, I'm watching "Plane". This is an action thriller starring Gerard Butler, as a pilot whose plane is hit by lighting, and has to make an emergency landing.
The character must've been written for Butler. When speaking to his character's daughter he asks her to prepare "homemade haggis, neeps and tatties".
Then, when asked by the co-pilot if he was English, he replies "Hell no. I wouldn't lower myself to that. I'm Scottish." 😃
The weather is doing some funny stuff. Only a few days ago it was 24°C. This morning it was 4°C, and my breath was condensating. That's June in the Highlands.
Jennifer Lopez trapped in the boot of a car with George Clooney turned out to be the highlight of the movie. After that scene the humour (it was billed as an action comedy) very much dried up. Too much time spent watching hoodlums driving around in cars.
Clooney and Lopez had some chemistry, but, it wasn't enough to hold my attention.
Stopping support for the genocide in Palestine must become a mainstay of the forthcoming UK General Election.
No candidate will get my support in the election unless they unequivocably and unambiguously condemn Israel's genocide in Palestine.
The UK should immediately halt military support and arms sales to Israel. The UK government must also plainly condemn Israel's genocide on the international stage.
The Palestinian flag flying outside the Irish Parliament building. A powerful symbol indicating the formal recognition of the Palestinian state, which will happen later to-day.
Spain and Norway will also be recognising the Palestinian state to-day.
@fitheach every month they hassle me on the 23rd or 24th of the month.
Every month I submit a reading on the 28th and they have to recalculate my bill.
I have even written to them and asked them why they do this but no plausible answer was given.. Talk about unnecessary administration!
I do not have a standing order with them.
@Jkp
I find their estimates are fairly accurate. Probably because my usage is fairly consistent, when the same months in different years are compared. On balance, I prefer Octopus to Bulb.
I've wondered for years why I couldn't send emoji in text messages (MMS).
Quite by accident, I've discovered that, all this time, I could. All I had to do was press, and hold, the enter button on the AOSP keyboard. This raises the emoji selector.
