Bedford Roughyed Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Started watching Generation Kill again, after Fruity Rudy turned up on Who Dares Wins….. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a loathsome collection of shithouses the prominent members of that family are. I feel repulsed by ghislaine and her brothers attempts at minimising or denying her vile behaviour. I do not feel any sense of sorrow for her plight or even the lost life of Epstein. I just wish she had given evidence implicating others she facilitated such abhorrent trafficking for. A horrible but compelling watch. Edited April 11, 2022 by Robin Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I doubt I'll do another)... but anyhow, I got "adopted" by two ex-military colonials. They did have a very odd view on the world.

An ingenious film of a disillusioned 60+ whose marriage is on the rocks, who opts to relive the week of his life when, 40 years earlier, he met his true love. A poignant and fun story with sublime acting and direction. Edited April 12, 2022 by Oxford 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say number I mean approximately 17, although maybe 18, but you might be able to count a man called Pete from Brid. Now when I say Pete I of course mean Peter and by Peter I mean his name is Peter and Pete is only short for Peter. Now by Brid I mean Bridlington which is a town on the Yorkshire coast, of course it is the East Yorkshire coast not the North Yorkshire coast and its important to make that distinction because they are different counties. When you talk about counties its important to make the distinction between modern administrative council districts and ceremonial counties. Of course there isn't a ceremony when you talk about these counties and it's more a word used to talk about historical counties. When you talk about it though it is more of a discussion or debate if you will. Now Peter is also known as Fat Pete but like I say his name is Peter and he's from Bridlington. Calling him Fat though is only a nickname because Fat Pete isn't actually massively fat in comparison to some other fat people. Back in Hull there was a gentleman called George who was really fat, at least twice the size of Fat Pete or Peter, though I tell a lie, George was more like 2.374 times fatter than Fat Pete. I should just qualify my use of the word gentleman in relation to George who really wasn't a gentleman and was actually a bit of a penis. He wasn't an actual penis though, he was really just a human man although I never saw any evidence as such to prove that despite standing next to him in the urinals a number of times I never felt obliged to actually inspect Fatter George's equipment. By equipment I mean his penis and not something else like sporting equipment. Talking about fatter George and sport, he was a very accomplished amateur rugby league playe, playing for West Hull ARLFC...... Jesus christ, once you start talking like that it is sodding hard to stop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughed out loud at "Family Day" at Silver Cod (and a couple of other moments) but it probably helps if you grew up a few minutes walk away from that particular pub.

Is that the one with the "Children of Chernobyl", where Erin says she has to warn James that the "Russian" is a prostitute because she has condoms which she doesn't even reckon are legal in Derry? Quite right, soundtrack is brilliant, one of the best things about it! Edited April 13, 2022 by The Hallucinating Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
