@BigBearF1 Oh it is great when building to clear my head. It can also be a bit addictive. I tended to get obsessed with needing every set in a series/release. Paying off a few big bills by just selling the whole Pirates of the Caribbean sets was far better for me though.

@SimonShanley It’s not just fun for me Si, but a form of therapy too. But something has to go that’s worth something. 🤔🫩

Selling Lego. Not a good feeling at all. But need the money. …..! 😳#Needsmust!

@john_wickes9 Stunning. Almost looks like AI. Thanks for sharing.

Glastonbury Tor – Sunrise Series This one at 05:52 - just three minutes before sunrise. The sky was glowing beautifully and the trees & bushes across the landscape were lighting up in all their different colours. Absolutely stunning. The Tor delivered another magical morning. Grateful to be here. #GlastonburyTor @PanoPhotos #ThePhotoHour

Not the best quality, but this guy is visiting daily.

@fesshole I watched a two women get drunk after each downing 6 bottles of J20 in our bar. They were a newish product at the time and they both thought it was a new alcopop. They sobered up quickly when they found out it has zero alcohol content.

A colleague continually drones on about how he has no energy without drinking at least five cups of caffeinated coffee a day. The rest of us agreed to only make him decaf and not tell him. It's been three months and he hasn't noticed.

@jk_rowling Takes a lot of skill to read out loud and make it enjoyable for the audience. 41 years ago our teacher read The Hobbit in class. His voices were awesome, especially Gollum. Thank you Mr Naylor (King's Park Junior School, Bournemouth).

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

The Materialists Lacking in comedy for a romatic comedy and also didn't feel true romance between any of the characters. Chris Evans character should run for the hills, she'll never be happy unless her bloke is on a 6 figure salary. A few minutes on the dancefloor isn't romance.

The Wrecking Crew Ludicrous action scenes. Watchable due to quite an amusing pairing of Momoa & Bautista. Bautista just about saved this movie in my opinion with his more serious acting face. The bad guy was atrocious writing/casting and Temeura Morrison's talents weren't used.

No Escape Lots of action, bit of a dodgy plot but got to say Owen Wilson saves the film somewhat with his likeable good guy acting. Without him the film would be a mess.

Last Stop In Yuma County Enjoyed it, didn't quite have a Tarantino dialogue but still had a feel of his style. Setting was great, acting more than passable bar a couple of characters. Worth a watch.

@muddydwarf @fesshole Almost the same. Mine wasn't refrigerated but thought I'd look hard by tapping it on my forehead. Not unconscious but the lump on my head was kinda big. Squished the raised pattern on our wallpaper on another attempt.

@fesshole You can use my completely true story. I kept a Chocolate Orange in the fridge. Took it out & thought I'd 'tap it & unwrap it' by rather forcefully tapping it on my forehead. Came round sat on the kitchen floor holding said Chocolate Orange & with a lump on my forehead.

I currently have a massive bruise on my forehead. I got it by walking into a door while not paying attention. But I can't tell anyone that, because everyone knows that "walked into a door" is code for domestic abuse. So I have to invent some plausible fake reason for the injury.

The Housemaid Predictable thriller. Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried do well with a ropey plot to make it entertaining at least.

Bring Her Back Solid supernatural thriller with excellent performances, especially Billy Barratt & Sally Hawkins. The ending seemed a slight let down, maybe could have done with an extra 15 minutes. Overall a good watch.

Bone Lake Same predictable story done many times before. Movie descended into comedic gore at the end. The antagonists roles & actions were not well written to create enough suspense. Marco Pigossi and Maddie Hasson deserved far better as they seem too talented for a weak script.

47 Metres Down Better than expected. Acting alrightish and a small role for Matthew Modine. Sharks & murky sea floor tick the boxes for a bit of daft suspense.

Trap ! More like crap. Good idea with a music concert setting but ludicrous plot holes and character decisions. Annoying waste of opportunity.

Neighborhood Watch Good idea for a buddy movie but plot far too thin. Villains not villainous enough and hard to care enough about a victim that hardly anything is known about and barely seen. Wasted opportunity given the talent of the two leads.

@Gibboanxious Brad Pitt's Irish accent.

Which actor/actress had the worst accent in a movie???

Sinners Thought this was going to be great as the first half of the film was looking good then wham! The story changing direction was unexpected for me but it didn't deliver the way it could have. Not an awful film but wasted opportunity.
