    Watched the Western Bone Tomahawk [2015] again this evening. First repeat of the current crop of films. Kept having to stop myself from watching it, but it's so good I finally caved in after 6 months or so. If anyone out there, with a liking for Western genre films, hasn't see this one, you really ought to give it a go. It's a treat.

    Must have missed the regular massacre of black people in Nottingham. Disrupting traffic (especially connected with holidays) is really how you get people on your side.

    I agree, they are getting people to talk about them, great, but a lot of people will see this in a negative way. Probably causing the BLM movement to interpret this as racism.

    Daisy Ridley (no, I'd never heard of her either) has had to come off social media because of abuse following her following innocuous (and heart felt) comment. A section of Americans are seriously weird. Apparently feeling sorry for people who have been affected by gun violence is 'liberal.' And being 'liberal' is a very bad thing.

    The ‘Force Awakens’ star had remarked how a section during the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, in which tributes were paid to the victims of violent, gun-related attacks, had affected her.

    “[As] I sat in the audience yesterday tears were streaming down my face at the tribute to those that have been lost to gun violence,” she wrote.

    “I didn’t get a great picture of the incredible group that came on stage but they were so brave. It was a true moment of togetherness. We must #stoptheviolence.”

    Young English actress who is star of new Star Wars films.

    Sadly we live in a world where people love to feel offended on someone else's behalf.

    The black lives matter thing is interesting. Activists will be activists.

    This sort of thing just turns the average person against them....even when the cause is a good one. This has come over from America and most people will see it as such. They could be campaigning against *****philia and I'd still be pissed off if I missed a flight...because the action doesn't match the injustice. This is how you lose support...but I don't think they care...because to these troublemakers, the only cause they are interested in is causing trouble and they'll move onto their next fad next week. The real people suffering are probably working in their communities and trying to raise awareness in a proper manner...not lying in roads.

    Did anyone hear of the recent relationship between a tiger and a goat.? Remarkably, a tiger, which had been feeding from live goats, introduced into his enclosure, took exception to one and decided a particular goat was off the menu. Besides, this goat had spirit and they became unlikely friends, following each other around; sleeping within nibble distance, etc...

    Yeah, you knew it. The tiger decided that goat was back on the menu. And there was indeed a violent end to their friendship as the tiger got the goat in its jaws before releasing it. The goat limped off. The owners had been so taken with the goat that they intervened and shipped the lad 4,000 off to Moscow for his own good.

    I object to them feeding the tiger with live animals...totally unnecessary. We have breeding tigers in the Island Zoo and they hang the meat and hide it to stimulate the tigers.

    I'm not sanguine about that myself.

    What? Do you think it's easy pretending to be normal at the same time as holding back on your Jedi powers? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Cheers fats!! It's the 2nd time around which has broken me, was fine for a couple of weeks but now suddenly hit me like a train wreck :(

    Means a lot that you remember about my nipper <ok>.... that's whats keeping me going currently. 2 years old soon (where does the time go?) N will be buying him his first Saints shirt soon which is a positive thing!

    No matter how bad things get as long as I have my boy I should be fine! Just need to be careful to not slip into my old ways regarding drink etc. (Though I have the best motivation known to humanity!)
