What’s a critically reviled film that you think is great.
Not like, “it’s a guilty pleasure”, but a movie you’re like, “what is wrong with everyone? This is good.”
I just learned that in North Macedonia, there’s a traditional breakfast called Simit-Pogacha, that’s just a bread roll filled with flaky pie crust and absolutely nothing else.
Sometime I worry that I’m prematurely aging. However this is Richard Vernon.
He plays Colonel Smithers in Goldfinger (pictured)
He was 38 here and wasn’t wearing make up for the part or anything.
Tangent: The rabbit hole led me to this Soviet laptop computer design. Does anyone know what those detachable panels are? And are those grey and yellow things, bottom left, some kind of memory cards?
Facebook just reminded me that 7 years ago, I complained in a restaurant about a spill on the table, and the waiter had to explain to me what shadows are.

Re: Welsh independence.
I keep thinking about something my Dad said last week:
“6 months before it came down, people were saying the Berlin Wall would still be there for decades.”
Guys. Listen to me.
This never got theatrical or home video distribution in the UK, so having it sneak out on Netflix today is its actual UK premiere SIX years late.
It is absolutely one of the best films of the decade, so for Christ sakes watch it.
It's brilliant.
Snowpiercer (2013) 2hr 6m [15] The Earth's remaining inhabitants are confined to a single train circling the globe as revolution brews among the class-divided cars....
‘AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY’ is reportedly set to be directed by someone who never directed a Marvel film before.
The film is expected to start shooting early next year.

Update on that Prince of Wales job I went for…
I didn’t get it 😢
They wanted someone with more search-and-rescue helicopter experience apparently, which definitely wasn’t mentioned in the original ad.
Since 1947 (when Labour introduced it) miners had a 5 day working week, so…. The logical conclusion being he was just telling you he was working weekends so that he could get away from the whining little twerp in his house for a few sweet hours. Sorry for the meltdown.
In the 70s working 7 days a week down t'pit my dad grew veg and kept chickens in our garden. That was our foodbank. My dad voted Tory for the 1st time in 2019. He will again at the next election. A great man. Comments turned off to send the left in to meltdown. But u can like 🙂
Unless otherwise credited, I *believe* these are all photographs by Christopher Herwig. He’s interviewed here:
For those wondering about the history of them, and reason for their idiosyncratic designs:
Delighted we have appointed cricket legend
@BeefyBotham
as our new trade envoy to Australia 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Ian will bat for 🇬🇧 business Down Under and help them seize the opportunities created by our historic trade deal.
He’ll do a brilliant job👇
Look at this family photo of The Johnsons.
If you asked me if the kid on the left would one day
a) become Prime Minister, or
b) be responsible for a spate of suspicious cat disappearances in the area...
I know which one I’d go for.
When small businesses like cafès, bars, music venues, theatres etc start to close down due to the fuel crisis, the Tories will bleat “go and do another job”. They don’t understand the value of places like that, or why doing something you love is good.
