The Pink Panther Strikes Again

I'd forgotten how hilariously brilliantly funny the pink panther films were.
:D

Just binged For All Mankind. An alternate world version of the Apollo programme. Basically the N1 worked so the Russians got to the moon first and Nixon got behind the space race.


Excellent telly even if you aren't a space nerd like me. can't wait for season 2.
 
Sea Fever. Film set on Irish trawler being infested by some sort of killer marine parasite. A cross between Alien, the Thing and Perfect Storm with Irish accents.

Just been watching this and it's really good. Season 2 is on now and it has been renewed for season 3.
 
A masterpiece. I adored Hayley Mills in that as a kid. What channel is it on, Kane? Or are you in Ireland?

I'm in Ireland. It was on RTE1.
I love it. Yes. Hayley is brilliant....and Alan Bates is very good too.


Eta.......I quite like being called Kane 👍🙂
Might make that my tagline. 😁

I really fancied Hayley as a boy and that made me love the film. Hope you enjoyed it Kane. Where in Ireland are you? When I worked as a junior reporter at TV Tokyo in London we went to Dublin at the time of the launch of the Euro and interviewed politicians and industrialistis. I read James Joyce as I sipped Guinnees in the pubs and had a whale of a time with the craic in the pub. Then on my last day I wandered off from the hotel down some side streets and it looked a bit poorer and rougher than the rest of Dublin I had seen and an old woman warned me not to go down that street so I dovetailed back and got back to London where my boss Yuzuru Saito was being a bit of a twat again so I used to shout at him and was amazed when he didn't sack me. His wife later said I had caused his hair to fall out!

You share a name with my friend from St.Anne;s, Oxford Josie Kane who did Modern History with me who I fancied but who sensibly brushed me off in a night in a filthy nightclub/meat market called DTMs, She has now become an architectural historian and written a book which I have read but I doubt anyone else much has.

 
I watched a couple of BBC Four documentaries - one on maps and power and one on Stalin in the Second World War and was out like a light.

Were you drinking near Guinness' brewery? Or Temple Bar? Some tough enough spots around there. Inner city plus poverty hand in hand in 2000. The Celtic Tiger only helped the developers build apartments and they were ridiculously expensive so as usual the locals didnt get a look in.

I'm not in Dublin. I'm in Munster...living / working between two counties.

I don't know where I was drinking, just knew I loved it there. Enjoyed being in Joyce's back yard - have read Portrait of an Artist at school and then Ulysees and Finnegans Wake as an adult.

I'll google Munster. We owe you guys a major apology for Drogheda and Wexford under Cromwell a(who is a bit of a hero of mine but not for his foreign policy) and for years of colonisation of Ireland. Not fair. Nobody talks about the British Empire these days as if it never happened and we should open up and discuss its good and bad points properly. I have friends in Ireland at Facebook and once met a woman from Ireland (Limerick) who was originally from the Basque country in Spain and works at a univeristy in Paris but it went wrong like all my relationships and nothing happened.
