    The film thread.

    Raiders of the Lost Ark on 4k - still fun, but I don't think that the years have been especially kind to it! Last Crusade is the best of the series - will be watching that soon.

    Weak Passwords.

    As per your PM I have redacted the password - can put them back in should you wish!

    Weak Passwords.

    Not sure I'd be publicising this myself.

    Knives Out on 4k - very cleverly constructed.

    Room 101

    Family of (presumably) yobs in a Clio who stopped to ask me (without a please in earshot) for directions - told them where to go (literally, not figuratively), at which point they just wound up the windows. As Lord Melchett says in Blackadder II, 'May the Yuletide log slip from your fire and...

    Season's greetings.

    Funny old year (four funerals and a wedding for us), so let's hope for a good 2026. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year one and all!

    Earworms and our random brains.

    Happily swap you - I had a Nik Kershaw song - don't even know the name, nor do I wish to!

    Earworms and our random brains.

    Mercifully I haven't got one at the moment - what baffles me is that they are almost always songs I really don't (to put it mildly) care for!

    Mmmm? Space saving device

    And both looking like answers to a question no-one's asking!

    The film thread.

    Bit cryptic?

    Downsizing: can I get a similar sound for much cheaper?

    Sounds like you intend to take it, so may the road rise up to meet you!

    Room 101

    Me, in terms of etiquette when talking to the homeless. We've been visiting friends in Swansea, did a long walk along the seafront and passed (at as large a distance as possible) a guy who was berating his rucksack, throwing punches in its direction and shouting about how it needed to do a...

    The rail service. Going to see some friends and it's a less-than-charming 3.5-4 hr journey. Thought we'd give the train a bash, even though the cost is considerably more than (most of} a tank of fuel. Turned out that the journey time was also longer because of two changes, but we thought we'd...

    And as it seems that trunk and hood are only used in the US and Canada, but the rest of the English-speaking world (UK, Ireland, Oz & NZ etc) and beyond (India and most Commonwealth countries), meaning that far more people globally use boot and bonnet, you could easily turn the question around!
