  • When I read about these people and their views I do think to myself “but would we miss them....” We aren’t too far from witchcraft, suspicion and the dark ages really. It’s probably an inbuilt primal instinct to be suspicious, particularly if you…
  • I’ve bought the masterclass photography course with Greg Williams. Few guys I know have worked with him. Good guy apparently
  • For the first time since March 2020 I am more confident than not that a release date will stick. How much money NTTD makes is another matter
  • Agreed. I like the way the Benzedrine tablets are used to heighten senses etc in the novels. I don’t want to see bond rolling a massive spliff so he can kick back and watch netflix. Alcohol is ok as it’s based on bonds taste and discerning palate…
  • Actually quietly confident that NTTD might actually keep this date. It’s been brought forward early enough to have low covid numbers regardless of the vaccine. And hopefully things will actually look different by September. Lots of variables at p…

  • Living with covid though won’t always mean those restrictions are in place. It will be fluid and changing depending on the situation at any given time The problem with optimism is that it doesn’t address the issue, or prevent people from dying. …

  • Do U think there’ll be an episode x. I kind of think that story is now up a creative cul de sac. A nine film series where there are only 3.5 good films. Empire has been carrying the series since 1980 I am far more impressed by the mandolorian.…
  • This makes sense to move forward. Logically the window of opportunity coming out of summer will be better and slightly more reliable the nearer to summer it is. South African variant aside things are looking up moderately in the UK. We just have …
  • Rian Johnson was so preoccupied with doing something different for the sake of it that it was at the expense of the narrative ImO - Luke throwing away the lightsaber - - Rey is no one then oh wait she’s a palpatine - Leia can fly suddenly - Fi…
  • I’m not one for the EU. The extended universe is a cop out when it comes to explaining the poor writing in the films. To me Star Wars is the films and tv shows. The extended universe shouldn’t need to exist to make those films make narrative sense. …
  • Quote “ Right now we have everything we need and a destructive minority is suddenly calling into question what is keeping things going. Put on the stupid mask and stay two meters away from me. Nobody takes away your rights with that. Nobody. So, the…
  • I personally don’t think a vaccination will become a Terms and conditions of work @Thunderfinger Unless say you work with clinically vulnerable people. I have no issue with vaccination passports either. Sure you can still travel, just not on a …
  • Back on topic. I’ve been watching a lot of star wars recently. I can’t help but think there is real depth to be added to the franchise by focussing on Lucass thinly drawn back story to the prequels. I would like to know more about darth plagueis, S…
  • Also free speech with a consequence beyond hurting someone’s feelings is dangerous. Spreading fake news online about covid that directly results In people’s deaths, or a president incurring bigotry and insurrection - it’s in nobodies interests to…
  • I’m a bit torn in this one. I don’t know all the context and history. I’m a left leaning liberal, but IMO firing someone and castigating them for what she has said feels rather authoritarian. How can you be fired from employment because of where …
  • Some context taken from the bbc website. 'Simply being realistic' about Covid suppression Nick Triggle Health Correspondent Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said that, with the support of vaccines and new treatments, Covid-19 will become a …

  • https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55921815 Worth reading for anyone left who still thinks this is going away quickly, despite vaccinations.
  • Vaccines are here. Now. There’s 35 million people in front of me in the UK. I’m probably not going to get my first jab till august and my second some time after that. So really you could have had your jab three weeks ago but still be in a position w…
  • During a pandemic where 2 million people have died optimism should play second fiddle to science and reason. Even with vaccines we will be asked to social distance for the considerable. The great unlocking will be long and slow according to the b…
