Re: Grow 2021-24

Having ditched the last living thing, other than me, from my flat last year, I relented and bought a dwarf peach tree in a pot for my balcony. I repotted it and it is starting to sprout some green shoots, so it is still alive!

Re: Netflix and Amazon Video

On the 3 Body intro, that anti-education stuff actually happened and it did get murderous. About a year into the Cultural Revolution Mao was reportedly thinking 'wtf have I started?'.

Re: Return of The I've Been To The Cinema To See thread

Dune part 2 last weekend. Can't really remember much about it other than it was a bit long and there was sand and worms. It was visually superb and there was a story, as far as I can remember but, and this is not specific to the film, I don't really care about squabbling space-aristos, which is one ...

Re: Netflix and Amazon Video

'3 body' is one of the most intriguing things I've seen in yonks. I like sci-fi but so much out there is hackneyed and predictable whereas this definitely isn't The fact that they started bringing god into it early doors* made me switch off but if you lot say it is ok, then I'll give it a chance.. ...

Re: The Monarchy

For the young woman, I have nothing but sympathy and I hope she has the courage and luck to get through this, as I do for anyone suffering from this b*stard of a disease (took my Dad and has tried, unsuccessfully, twice, to take my Mum). For the "Princess", I couldn't give a flying one.

Re: Sobriety

Day 23 ad all is well.
Won the pub quiz on Thursday, on the Brooklyn Special Effects alcohol free. First prize was a bottle of gin, which is behind the bar, waiting for me.
5 days to go. No problem at all. Quite relieved, really.
Well Done everyone who's trying. Proud of us.
