oh man…

visually fantastic to look at but what was missing, oh yes, a plot with any kind of threat and what’s that thing where people talk to each other in the film….. um let me think….

started dozing off at one stage :eek::o

Isn’t that true of most of the modern “blockbuster” films? Plot is a secondary consideration for this type of film, which is why I gave up watching them.:(

.“…would the Government running it ensure better operations?”

That is the key question and the answer is almost certainly no, since “governments” are usually inept at running anything effectively. However the success of a privatised operation is equally uncertain if the the consumer of the “product” has no choice.

The other problem is that as long as the government and its agencies rely on weather prognoses supplied by the UK Met Office, based as they are on spurious and insupportable computer modelling, the long term decisions on investment will remain ill-judged.

BECAUSE IT’S CHRISTMAS DAY:):):)

No, you are both right. Wilfred said “……Barney” originally because Barney Colehan was the show’s producer. Later when his wife Mabel joined the show it became ….Mabel”.

Is that a rhetorical question? Obviously we let the Ozzies have Perth so as not to feel completely out of it and will now slaughter them at Melbourne and Sydney.:diablo:

Thank you – your correction is well made and I have edited my post 141 accordingly.

Unlike many on here I do not know you personally, only of you, so my very best wishes for a very happy birthday and a very happy Christmas Day, tomorrow.

The facts of the case are as in my post 141, I believe. But please correct me if there are other facts, rather than hearsay, speculation, or interpretation, in the public domain.
