Finally got round to seeing Game of thrones.

So...any good?

Just finished watching the complete series for the 3rd time since January, so yes pretty good.

A real comedy legend. If you haven't seen it, check out Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid with Steve Martin. Brilliant.

I have seen it, and will have to dig the DVD out. As you say, brilliant. I wonder if they are still out of whack?

Margarita Pracatan, who used to sing(!) at the end of the Clive James show.

Personally I think it sounds decent! Remember the beautiful VIP VC10s?

Nope, what VIP 10's?

Maybe he can strike a deal with his pal Donald, and get a two for one, when AF1 gets its new livery.

That's a good day out there Dougie. Nice selection.

Effects on me? Well I'm getting a bit fed up with all the self patronising ads on TV.

does anyone else think that the devolved UK assemblies' attitudes towards the UK (England) approach to the crisis is in part a protest at having been told to STFU over Brexit?

No, because they are basing their actions on what is relevant to their locations, not what is happening in London.

On another note, let's hope POTUS doesn't prove to have been right - or actually maybe we should hope he is because it could be a game changer. Trump is a gobsh**e who will say anything to anyone to appeal to their views. Unfortunately he says so much, that sometimes something he says, is true, or ...

Steve Miller, Jet Airliner, mentions B707

Well Boris says we should all go back to work if you can avoid using public transport, so assuming most bases are out of the way and most of us use cars, why don't you all head off back to work?

... travelling within the UK is now unlimited...

No it isn't, you're making the mistake of thinking england and the uk are one and the same thing.

Thanks for that link LN. It is fascinating watching this guy doing his stuff, and waiting to see how his paintings turn out.

The joy of painting. BBC 4, 7-7.30PM. So relaxing to watch this guy knock out a painting.

Damn, missed a C5 that must have gone over the house this morning, judging by its ADSB track. This is ZH101 that is currently going round in circles in the NE England/SE Scotland. This is what passes for aviation thrills round here these days. Haven't even got the civvy stuff going into Edinburgh to...

Managed to catch these last night, out the back of my house. Not very impressive, but caught a nice shooting star.

Nice catch. I'm keeping an eye on adsb for anything like that over the Borders, but no luck yet.

My best one was way back in the days of slide film, when I got 2 KC10's towing 6 German Phantoms, heading to the states.

I'm sorry but to suggest that someone on even £20k a week (and let's face it, that's no premier League players) couldn't take a 20% cut in their wages is nonsense, whatever else they do with their money. Can you even conceive of a way you couldn't live on an income of £16k a week? And yes, I know t...

Did my first shopping trip for someone else today. Hopefully a task I won't have to do to often.

Jealous to death of those Phantoms.

No new DVD's in my local Sainsbury's today. Usually the new releases come out on a Monday. Hope the film companies aren't holding back the release of movies to DVD. I've got all the James Bond movies on DVD, so yesterday I started watching all of those again. Strange seeing the early films just star...

Re reading Conn Iggulden's trilogy, based on Genghis Khan, and half way through the second book, "Lords Of The Bow". Nothing like a bit of blood, guts and savagery to settle you down before you drop of to sleep.

It wasn't the fact they were wearing masks, it was that they weren't covering their noses with them.

F****** unbelievable! Just been down the High Street to get some milk. Get out of the car, and look to my left, there's some woman with a face mask on, turn to my right to head for the shop I'm going to, there's another woman walking down the pavement with a face mask on. I'll wait till she passes ...

This morning on TV, an ad from Shelter, using the plight of NHS workers, to raise cash for their charity.
