Hansel and Gretal Witch Hunters
Enjoyable romp with the grown up siblings hunting and killing witches. Worth it just to see Gemma Arterton in Kick-Ass leather yum yum. 7/10

Both pass a couple of hours of mindless entertainment.

yep saw that the other night, and worked for me in the same way!

Is it me..?
…

No, its not just you… I find myself just turning the TV off these days, rather than even bothering to shout at it… especially ‘The News’..

they’re herking fuge, but handle suprisingly well in the right hands… as this video demonstrates.. 🙂

We dined on Quiche yesterday!! 🙂 onion bhajis and ‘nibbles’ for lunch, not your usual Sunday dinner I suppose !

from the blurb advertising the dH Moth Rally….

Owners of Tiger Moths, other de Havilland types and invited vintage aircraft will operate from a specially prepared grass strip in the Deer Park at Woburn Abbey which was once part of a wartime runway onto which Stirling and Lancaster bombers were flown for dispersal amongst the ancient oak trees.

…so all we had to do was get rid of the government (the Conservatives) and we’d all be fine, right?

The biggest political influence on my generation wasn’t Margaret Thatcher, Neil Kinnock or Arthur Scargill…

…it was Ben Elton…..because all the ‘alternative’ comedians, the popular (alternative) bands and ‘youth’ personalities all railed against the government, or more specifically ‘Thatcher’!

I’m sure it was quite a shock for many when life under the governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown didn’t quite work-out to be the life-of-milk-and-honey that they’d been expecting.

i’m a couple of years older than you Creaking Door, but agree with all that you said there, especially the part quoted above… i remember the sense of anticipation that things ‘were going to get better’ when Labour came to power… although to be honest for a southern boy with a steady job, things never were that bad under the previous regime..

Jim… apparently we are in the East Midlands according to the Met Office and the rest of the govt !! ??

..as for the Hovis hill.. thats in Shaftsbury in Dorset.. !

as for the OP… I think the differences in attitude etc have blurred/been dilluted as time has gone on, especially with the increase in ethnic mix ‘darn sarf’, not many jellied-eel chomping, pearly jacketed cockerneys left in that there London…
