That’s not what the expensive floating park lobby says.

Sure, but then you could basically carry out assassinations from an Uber Boat, and I can see why Parliament might not vote for that solution.

De gustibus non est disputandum. Which is a shame, because someone should be calling you out for your terrible taste, you philistine. When it comes to movie series about alcoholic, misogynist civil service hitmen, they are unrivalled.

There's an online theory - especially doing the rounds on YT, FB etc. - that the Alaska purchase happened as an excuse to give the Russians the $7m it cost to have them blockade Confederate ports. Utter horseshit, obviously.

Suggests that they *really* wanted the Tories out...but also serves as a reminder that predicting how people are going to vote these days is more or less a fool's errand..!

It’s only split by voters in the 2024 election, so possibly tactical voters lending votes to Lab or LD rather than ideological voters..?

Am I right in thinking that they’ve literally built a camp in a remote part of Panama, in which ‘unauthorised migrants’ can be, as it were, concentrated?

Also works with terriers. Though there’s not a little Brian Harvey in there too.

🤣 I think if I played it in VR, that would 100% be how I checked out of this life. And when they find me, and people learn I died of a heart attack while in VR, *not a single one* is going to believe I was playing Alien: Isolation…

If there’s one thing that’s true about that game, it’s that you’re going to spend a lot of time being pulled out of cupboards and eaten.

Ironically, the best sequel to Alien I've ever seen isn't a film; it's the Alien: Isolation game, which might actually give you high blood pressure and a nervous condition.

Every new Alien movie suffers from being neither Alien nor Aliens even before we decide whether it's a good film on its own merits. You can't top Alien for atmospheric haunted house in space, and Aliens can't be beat for action body horror shoot-em up, so the new ones are stuck.

Alien Isolation is a gamified panic attack. I hated every second of it and have completed it twice.

In fairness to him, it probably played better than would ‘a sexually abusive grocer’.

"I just saw this film and enjoyed it, and assume that no-one else talks about it, thinks about it or remembers it because I myself had not."
This is exactly what Trump often does at his rallies: reports a well-known fact as if it's new to everyone because he only just heard it backstage.

The one I heard was that they called it John Lennon Airport because it was the first place he went when he got a bit of money…
