Ha!

Just watched Blue Moon again. That movie is ART. How Ethan Hawke didn’t win an Oscar is a question for mathematicians. If you love movies then watch this film. It’s on NOW if you have that. 5/5.

These days yes 👍

Bond’s grandad more like these days.

And the only time in my life I thought my number was up. The final landing was still bumpy and I had a connecting flight to Melbourne an hour later. I think I must have smoked 10 fags in that hour back then, one straight after another.

We flew through cumulonimbus with air travelling vertically at 10metres per second (investigation is what I did for a living so knew exactly what was going on). The microbursts were so bad the pilot had to pull out and we circled for 15 minutes until the storm moved on enough to land. Very scary-

Busted hand, ankle, chipped hip, skin gravelled down one arm. Pretty lucky on that one. I got a sympathy shag off the girl 8 weeks later once recovered enough.
3. Turbulence. Flying Canberra to Adelaide, the pilot attempted to land whilst a storm raged over the airport, ultra violent turbulence as-

Stalked her all the way from Nottingham popped up out of a hedge and stuck me in the shoulder. Didn’t realise I’d been stabbed, I’d hit him and we ran, saw a cab and flagged it but as it pulled in a van swerved around it and hit me full on, dragged 30ft down the street before he stopped -

For pick up on a mountain plateau. He said, “want to take pics of the bear?” So we chased the bugger for photo ops. Was the 90’s so 35mm was the order of the day so all pics? Blurred.
2. The stabbing/van run over. I met a girl at a party and we were heading back to mine when her psycho ex who’d -

For context: 1) the bear story happened in Alaska while I was there as part of a team recovering a crashed plane in the mountains 30 miles from civilisation. A helicopter from the local national guard would drop us and pick us up and the pilot had spotted the bear sneaking up on us while we waited-

Chased a grizzly bear whilst a passenger in a helicopter, got stabbed by a girls jealous ex and hit by a drunk driver in a van on the same night, got caught in turbulence so bad luggage spilled from overhead lockers while through screaming, I comforted the guy next to me who’d filled two sick bags.

Without stating your age, post your favourite film released the year you turned 18.

Here’s my Lego Millennium Falcon

It was a pleasant dream though. One of those scenes that emerged from another scene in which I was on a bus. There was also a house gathering in there somewhere and Mrs B was about but I can’t quite remember.

Awake. I had a dream I had a fun game of one on one rugby with Richard Harris. He scored, I scored, he laughed when he tackled me. I don’t know the overall score.

Jaws aged 6 on the bloody big screen for extra nightmarish visuals.

Aye definitely

Me, falling along with bits of timber, “fuck yooooouuuuu thhhhe maaaaaaaaaaannnnnnn”.

My continual rebellion against “the man” culminating in me ignoring the “danger, bridge closed for repairs” sign.

I’ll watch anything with Sam Rockwell in it and I’ve just watched his new movie, “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.”
A weird as fuck sci fi/comedy film which is right up Sam’s street. It’s brilliant.

Bruce is 6 now!

One king size bed, two sleeping. Teton terriers, and one socked foot sticking out to he side of the bed.

After all the problem solving in The Martian and Project Hail Mary I need to ask Andy Weir how it is one massive king size bed + two small dogs STILL = my feet out the side of the bed and me bracing with one hand on the floor.

What about when said towel is in the wash or damp or smelly? There’s nowt better than pulling a fresh in from the airing cupboard.

Agreed. Towel coverage during a dry off is most important.

Hello Friday people. It’s Friday, the most fridayest day of the week. Enjoy your Friday.
Friday.

Yes. Unless you mean towels. One can never have enough towels.

Anyway, aren’t two day weeks great? Smashing.

I’m off on Friday which makes my Thursday, Friday coupled with the bank holiday means today tuednesfuurrriday.

Tuesday after a bank holiday is like a Monday, which makes tomorrow Tuenesday or something.

From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.

One of the very best from Clickhole
