... the other useful tip - good to engage in riskier things the older you get. As we crumblies have far more micromorts/year than the young things, the proportionate risk (given all the other risks at our age) of a bad thing happening and having pernicious effects when doing so is far less - as the man said after his parachute jumpOriginally posted by vinteuil View Post

Diane Morgan’s relatively small role in the series AfterLife https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80998491 was also very funnyOriginally posted by Stanfordian View Post"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Reminds me of something my father said when we moved to the current house. The downhill next-door neighbours had a very aggressive white German Shepherd which used to throw itself against the chain-wire fence between the gardens, trying to get at us. "He likes some people after a bit", advised the neighbour. "Well, he's not having a bit of me to try", Responded my father.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

We did it at school - a "revolutionary" departure from the annual A Level Shakespeare production. Professional orchestra and acting roles for Tony and Maria, but my best mate was Riff from the Jets -one less likely to wield a flick knife you could never imagine; I led the off-stage choir!Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

I’m not a sports fan, but found this film engaging enough late night viewing. It isn’t very widely available but I can’t see why it deserves to be overlooked. Be aware – its only available on the iPlayer for the next 6 days.
