Someone should tell those banks & bankers on Bay Street that they have no money!
LOL
They certainly have my money.

Agreed!
You are right about 'Conspiracy of Silence' and 'Love and Hate'. Superior fare.
The 1988 tv-flick 'Breaking All the Rules', about Chris Haney and Scott Abbott and their Trivial Pursuit, was very well done... and entertaining.

I guess you're not a Torontonian!
Every summer we have to suck up insane heat and humidity. Some summers are worse, and longer, than others, of course, but....
One of my clients: "I left the islands to *get away* from this!"
Me: "You didn't do any research on our weather beforehand?"

On 'Jeremy Vine' this morning (BBC Radio 2) that was a topic of discussion: "Defence or Welfare." Which is a rather rudimentary way of looking at it!

Agreed. They don't even walk as though they've been trained... because they haven't. They're criminals-for-hire.

It is!
it reminds me of a documentary I saw on the former USSR: a young school girl had drawn a beard on a classroom picture of Joseph Stalin, the great leader. She was incarcerated for years.
Is it time to talk about the elephant in the room, "the former USA"?

"The Wizard of Oz" didn't bomb in theatres. It was an expensive movie to make, and the admission ticket price for kids, the main audience, was a dime. The flick couldn't recoup its production costs... the 'negative cost'.
It did go big when it ran on television, starting in the early 1950s.

That horrible fade-out on the fake cheering was a giveaway.

I think the Orange Mushroom meant to write: "Publicity-seeking...."
Having said that, Trump *is* psychopathic.

I'm of the generation:
"McDonald's makes McBurgers
McDonald's makes McFries"
Which is why my parents never took us to McDonald's... even if we *were* "kids of every size".

Yes! It is a great ceremonial piece.
He got a big laugh from the audience when he recounted the story of the US Marines trying to get Manuel Noriega to leave his compound peacefully. They tried rock music, nothing. They then played the theme to Patton....
