Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Helen, get to the doctor now!! That's an order. 5 years ago my wife had an ear infection, that suddenly turned aggressive and attacked her nerves endings. She lost all balance, couldn't walk for 2 weeks at was off work for 3 months. Even today, she is totally deaf in that year (yes that gives her some benefits living with me) and she can't walk up or down hills without losing her balance or feeling sick.

GET TO THE DOCTORS NOW!!!

 

Nice emblem on your arm!!

 

It's my favourite bit of body decoration, distracts people from looking at my face

 

When I'm lying down with it raised I can't feel any pain! Just like normal. Then as soon as I try to move and walk around.... feels like my knee is being ripped in half

 

Surprisingly tanned face for someone that usually wears a balaclava.

P.s. Coh that's a big one you're holding

 

Yeh,I understand the avatar look now.

 

I second Fats advice. I'd say go to casualty or if you have one locally the minor injuries unit locally. Get some expert medical advice now before it turns real nasty! Good luck!

 

I was wrong. It was 27C at one point. My max/min thermometer said as such. That's my kind of heat. Wasn't too humid either. Thankfully, we've had quite a few completely dry days previous.

 

Helpful genetics, amazing what difference a bit of African blood does to help you tan easily


And yes, it is indeed a big one which is why I was using 2 hands

People warned to keep inside as gas appears around Eastbourne causing eye irritation and vomiting.

 

I'm supposed to be working down at the beaches around there on Tuesday

 

Well there now could be a small environmental disaster down there for you to take data on.

 

Quacks is a very odd dark Victorian medical comedy. Anybody else been watching it.? 6 x 30 minute episodes. I've watched them all over a couple of nights. Not brilliant, not dreadful. Uneven, but it makes one want to watch the next episode. I'm quite sad to have finished them.

 

And I've finally got round to another odd film I've been wanting to see. I think watching Quacks put me in the right odd mood. It's Cowboys & Aliens [2011], a Western Sci-Fi. I think it's a reasonably safe bet that the number of films made under this genre could be counted on one hand. Back To The Future III is the only other major one I can think of, and that adds comedy to the category. And that's where this film is different. The cast play the action absolutely straight, and any dark comedy is in the story itself. Any laughs are not sought and are very sparing indeed, and which appear from the, frankly, ridiculous scenario. But somehow it works. Basically, it is aliens in spaceships abducting humans from mid to late 19th century frontier America. The cast itself is a veritable Who's Who. Daniel Craig heads it [and just about carries the film as lead], but he's well supported by Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell [one of my favourite modern actors], Paul Dano, Clancy Brown, Keith Carradine and Olivia Wilde. Plus there are a list of good supporting actors in smaller parts. With aliens involved you expect good special effects and imagination, and you get it. Everything is done very well indeed. I said the film works, and it does, but one always gets the idea that something is not quite right, and I still haven't made my mind up about that. I'm leaning towards the casting of Craig as the star around which the story evolves. He plays it like the capable James Bond that he is, but it doesn't translate to a Western anti-hero turned better. Nevertheless, it is sit back and turn brain off fare, and enjoyably so too. So, with a couple of oops, I can recommend this one. Hey, I'm probably the last person to have watched it anyway.

 

My favourite thing about that film is Olivia Wilde

 

Just finished watching a full British MotoGP race replay, courtesy of Total Sportek. Blimey, that was worth sticking around for. What a race. Dear old Vale led from the start but never got more than 0.9 of a second away. And the first 5 swapped places all race until Marc Marquez's Honda blew up. I can't remember the last time a Honda blew its engine, because they just don't, but if anyone could do it, Marquez could. Sometimes, I do think he overrides a bike. Eventual winner Andrea Dovizioso looked so much smoother. 2nd was Vinales, 3rd Vale and 4th Britain's Cal Crutchlow: http://www.totalsportek.com/motogp/british-gp-replay-video/

 

Spoiler: GoT

Cracking last episode. Baelish finally gets his comeuppance. Good riddance. Oh, and everyone is ****ed now the wall has gone. The last season not expected to be out until late 2018 or even 2019.

 

...are we back in business?

 

Looks like it
