And they've all got bloody iPhones, and Netflix accounts! Proper 'Race to the bottom' attitude. I despair.

Absolutely. It's beautifully shot and scripted. No need to have played the games to appreciate the series.

Up to episode 7. Walton Goggins really puts me in mind of Jack Nicholson in Chinatown.

Although, alcohol is, by and large, a drug that people consume intermittently, to gain enjoyment. Nicotine use (smoking) is a constant battle to stave off withdrawal. The two are not compatible for the vast majority of consumers.

I didn't say I'd ban it. I just wish it didn't exist.

I'm going to reply, also without searching. My understanding is that nicotine is a natural insect repellent which the tobacco plant has developed as resistance. Nicotine is also present in tomatoes and other plants, but in much smaller concentrations. Right, off to Google it now.

I've posted this before. I know my kids have taken a lot of psychoactive substances over the years (legal and illegal). They got a lot of enjoyment from them in the past and don't bother much anymore. Except smoking. It's so fucking difficult to give up. If there's one substance I could wish...

Did you watch it on the telly? I went to the picture house to watch it. Thought it was wonderful.

Just been to see Monkey Man. Basically it's John Wick Patel. Really well done, not as visceral as Civil War (the other picture I've seen this week), but overall a decent watch.

Civil War. Superb. The cinematography, the score, the acting. As usual these days, the third act is slightly disappointing. Lovely film all told. Was not at all what I was expecting.

I'm pretty sure I had NHS glasses as a kid. Free but shit. Until The Smiths came along. I remember the first time I played football with contact lenses (aged c.20). Fucking amazing!

Fucking hell, that was tortuous. The ground is so bleeding wet!

They did have that big fire not so long ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-67877365

Therefore you know best. All bow to the patriach. Wimmin, know thy place. (You really don't get it, do you)?

Clutching at straws now. Let the girls be girls. "The patriarchy is strong in this one"

Mini skirts Siouxie Soux Goths Laddettes Lip fillers Etc. Etc. Girls doing their own thing will always piss off us middle aged men who know better. Let it go.

I I'm somewhat ambivalent about the whole thing, though I do struggle with middle aged lefties knowing what's best for the wimmin. Let them get on with it and find their own way in life. The last thing your hopefully empowered daughters need is condemnation from the patriarchy. Lip...

I used to try stuff like this and eventually realised I was looking down the wrong end of the telescope. As soon as you get paid, bank 15% (or whatever you can afford) of your wages, preferably into an account with a decent interest rate. It'll hurt initially, but you'll get used to it...

What's that in your left hand grandad? Paper you say? Is that from the old days?

Credit where credit is due. @shmmeee put me onto it.
