I wouldn't mind so much if the drinks weren't ridiculously priced in the first place. Anyway as it's optional, you can opt out.

2 Unlimited had some great tracks, but surely their best is Let The Beat Control Your Body. It just makes you want to dance. Fast.

Some interesting thoughts here, so thought I'd add my tuppence-worth. My definition of friendships has changed over the years, as a shy 20 something I would say I only had 2-3 very close friends, and some acquaintances. Nowadays as an ambivert 56 yo, I have a few very close friends, a wider...

The title refers to the Threads of society being totally destroyed. The first minute explains this while a spider spins a web

Sadly the young girl who played Ruth's daughter near the end of the film lost her life, just a few years after. She was only in her 20s IIRC :-(

Not so much a movie, more a docudrama. But you can view it as a movie. It's one of the scariest things I have seen.

Will do :)

I've seen them both. Threads in particular is grim.... a very hard watch, even now

Quite probably one in one of my very own programs. I am fascinated by Sun and Moon and made some Visual Basic programs that track the sun and moon across the sky, either as little icons that move on top (Z dimension) of your other open windows, or as a picture, or as digits. A parameter file...

Scariest dream was in the early 1980s when being nuked seemed a real threat. Four minute warning had gone, my little Cornish village was going to get it. We all got in the car wanting to drive away - and FAST - although it would be futile. Dad wouldn't start the car until my kid brother had...

Errr... can I watch it on 2x speed then and have a break every 4 hours for a pee? And whose gonna feed me pizza while I am engrossed, you? ;-)

I use chess.com but don't have an account and just play the bots. On a good day I can beat a 1400 but I can equally lose to a 800

I would have thought the filming would be a continuous loop and not jump from one mode of travel to the other without seeing the change in real time ;-)

^^^ This. I totally agree. Nobody will ever discuss it, but a life has a financial value, which will determine decisions on extra H&S, attitude to risk, or not. Several years ago, I felt that value was around £125K. Allowing for inflation, I would now equate one life to be in the value of...

In part 107 at the 2 hour mark, it switches from the sea to the land, something clearly being missed. I feel cheated.
