Anyone seen, or going to see Pride ?
It looks an absolute hoot, Bill Nighy as you've never seen him before, as a Welsh mining official.
We've booked to see it at Aberystwyth.
Think Let'sSkip mentioned it was filmed not far from from where she lives.

Although we're in a built up area, I have to have the bedroom windows open so there is at least some air circulating, but we have four or five close neighbours working shifts at Waitrose's distribution centre who slam car doors and run their diesel engines whilst they're leaning against the car smoking a cigarette. Or worse still have the radio on full blast before they pull in or out at uncivil hours.yahyah wrote:ohsocynical wrote:Off topic, but after a mild thunderstorm and a little rain last night the morning was overcast and misty.

Thanks for the link about Pride, interesting to read about the problems with US distributors because of the film's socialist theme.

The wonderfully peaceful and un lit up nights are probably the biggest reason why Mr Riots and I think we will try to stay here - even when we can't manage the garden etc ourselves - if we possibly can. We often wonder where we could move to that wouldn't feel, and be, a bit of an assault on our senses which are now completely unused to human noise and interference, traffic etc. Plus Mr Riots can dance around naked and piss on the compost heap in the garden without fear of being seen and bundled off somewhere for his own good.ohsocynical wrote:Although we're in a built up area, I have to have the bedroom windows open so there is at least some air circulating, but we have four or five close neighbours working shifts at Waitrose's distribution centre who slam car doors and run their diesel engines whilst they're leaning against the car smoking a cigarette.

Unhappy rumblings from many in the backbenches about the terms.

Campaign goes well.
No vote wins.
Less than 24 hours later, 70 Tory MPs refuse to agree the terms promised.
Dave blames Ed, Gordon, Darling and Labour for breaking their word.

I think she means that Labour have been conned (the agreed common front with DevoDave).

Or did she never notice that Labour is a unionist party? What else can Miliband possibly do or have done?
Re: Friday 19th September 2014
We know the Tories want to make it all about Ed Miliband but fact remains that a fair number of Labour MP have been working tirelessly for the Better Together campaign and party members were deployed as canvassers etc. Compare that to the effort put into the No Campaign by the Government, who effectively stayed in hiding when it was their job and responsibility as the Government to make the case for the Union.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Is that the same Ed M who was pretty much permanently camped in Scotland for the last week of the campaign?
Labour were there on the ground, actually doing something. Can the same be said for the Conservatives?

Sorry I'm spitting mad.
Dave hasn't the slightest chance of getting his "nonsense with stilts on" as someone has described it through Parliament.
Labour can just keep saying they honour the "vow" and they will honour it. And gently point out that you can't suddenly change a "vow" a few days later.

Not quite sure what to make of this:
Jonathan Simons retweeted
Robert Colvile @rcolvile · 9h
Breaking: @Policy_Exchange appoint @davidfrum as chairman to replace @Dannythefink
David Frum?
Who on earth would they want someone from across the pond unless there was some idea of a tie-up with an American thinktank? presumably he'll be a fixture on Newsnight from now on to replace Finkelstein

If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Not really, although to be fair to the Scottish Tory leader she put on a good show. Tough gig being lumbered with a twat like Dave.Spacedone wrote:We know the Tories want to make it all about Ed Miliband but fact remains that a fair number of Labour MP have been working tirelessly for the Better Together campaign and party members were deployed as canvassers etc. Compare that to the effort put into the No Campaign by the Government, who effectively stayed in hiding when it was their job and responsibility as the Government to make the case for the Union.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Is that the same Ed M who was pretty much permanently camped in Scotland for the last week of the campaign?

Exactly. As I said earlier, it's DC whose broken the "vow". He's dumped it and replaced it with a load of old cods.PaulfromYorkshire wrote:Sorry I'm spitting mad.
