I think dr who was pulled because from America because of the launch of britbox

The streamers want us to pay $500/month to get everything we used to get on cable. They are suffering from rectal-cranial inversion as far as I'm concerned.

Don't tell anyone, its a secret... Oh, right... Anyway, with a VPN set to a UK server you can stream from any of the UK tv stations either live or catch up.

A couple ask for your postcode to ensure you get the correct regional content, but dont check you actually live there.

One British detective show was extremely dark: The Wire. Woah that was dark. I didn't get too far in. I needed a catharsis.

Nah. We had it on Amazon video for free with a prime subscription, but that all ended a couple years ago because HBO (whoever owns them) bought the streaming rights for their then upcoming HBO Max.
This happened just before covid devastated the world. I blame the BBC and HBO for denying us our Doctor and those long months wait without him.

That's why I love Black Mirror, because it goes to some very dark places.

Exhibition displays in martial arts are very highly choreographed, but it makes them no less impressive.

That was from a movie called Shaolin Soccer

With that said I watched a friend of mine, who was a professional Soccer player, on a tennis court with one of his team mates, play soccer tennis.... all the rules of tennis...just done by kicking a soccer ball back and forth over the net. He also was deadly accurate with that ball....as an abusive boyfriend, of his younger sister, found out

And yes, you are correct, Martial Arts Demo tend to be choreographed, I did a few in my youth

I've began an alternating thing of poker one day, blackjack the next. Basic play in blackjack is boring. No wonder people figured out how to improve their odds in it.

I've been bidding on chromolithographs in an auction.
People are willing to pay a lot more than I am.

I am actually to the point I want to kill this one particular scrub jay. I squawks here, it squawks a few houses over, it squawks early in the morning, it squawks all day.
The Montana Merkle sounds better than this. Even those hideous plastic recorders manage to produce a finer sound that is far more pleasing to the ears than this.

I never could understand auctioneers or what they're saying.

Attend enuf auctions, & you catch on.
They can be fun when you know people there.

It's expected to get down to 54° tonight. Tomorrow's high will be 80°. Typical for spring in southern Arizona. But our rainfall levels are still way, way below average. We don't get that much rain anyway, but it's been even worse this past year.

According to Antiques Roadshow, what you need to do is to scour attics and basements, rural garage sales and rummage sales. With any luck, you'll find something worth megabucks.

You're just going to back down? Those lithographs are important!

That's roughly about the same as here.

That is not a cost effective use of one's time.
