    I've got a Bosch washing machine and dishwasher, not very exciting to watch though.......if there is a market for it maybe I could make a few quid.

    I just installed a washing machine and tumble-drier - hence the remark. My tumble-drier is really interesting - has a blue "disco" light which stays on whilst it's drying. Very exciting ............... I need to get out more .......

    I would like a conveyor belt fitted in my lounge so unread books could be brought right to my sofa. I am getting better at recycling books...either to friends or back to the charity shops...as I will never read the books I haven't read, never mind read again those I already have.

    Are you the sort of person that can read a book twice? many years ago I would start a book, read about 3 paragraphs and realize I'd read it before and throw it away in disgust. A few years later I read Philip Pulman's Trilogy. A few years after that I thought I didn't understand those books and for the first time read books twice. Pretty sure I didn't understand them the second time! (and the film was crap)

    Yes, I see what you are getting at. This becomes a question of what is morally acceptable and what society will tolerate. Up until recently [political correctness aside and its backlash] the trend was for society to be increasingly tolerant of views. But people can become confused over what are views, what are ways of life, and how their views and actions affect others. Stepping outside of my own moral code, I can understand how these things can become confused with certain people. That doesn't mean I quite ready to tolerate extremes, like Jo Cox's murderer, but it moderates my response.

    You had me going there RJ, and then you mentioned the dark side of the force. Never been a fan, as they say, of the dark or light side of any particular force. ;)

    Also, in the absence of education, does one advocate ignorance.?

    Compared to many countries (probably most countries) Britain is very tolerant, but eventually even easy going people get fed up with others taking the piss. However, that doesn't mean we have suddenly turned into extremists.

    It isn't education that is needed....it is good upbringing (which is education of a sort, of course). You shouldn't need to warn a good kid about Fascism...the average five year old would be appalled....because they understand decency and fairness.

    Yes. I got fed up with the relentless sarcasm after 20 minutes. Just not my kind of film.

    Yeah, liked it a lot - one of the best movies of 2016 for me. Ryan Reynolds was made for the part. The bit with his tiny hand made me spit my coke out, so funny and so wrong <laugh>
