The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Didn't realise they were still going AND with the same front man who is really multi talented.
He is really old though......only a few months younger than me .
Enjoy it

This is the 8th time ive seen Tull/Ian Anderson. He still puts on a fabulous stage show, but he now has COPD and is unsure himself how much longer he can leap about the stage like a demented loon.

I'm with Mo. Vigil is really good. Manhunt was off to a good start as well.

Morning. Cool here. Rather Brrrrrrrr

Stay safe peeps

Vigil is awesome, the way he flies Thunderbird 2 into danger like that.

One of the early comments I read about Vigil was complaining ‘within minutes of the start’ of the inaccuracy of the uniforms. Jings, if only that was the only inaccuracy to complain of 😄

We seem to watch the same stuff as you, Manhunt looks very good in my opinion. He never seems to do anything poor though does he, Clunes.

No. I like actors that can switch from comedy to serious and carry them both off. I was surprised how good Rowan Atkinson was as Maigret too.

Sneaking across the border, away from the roads?

Yep, managed to get through an unmanned checkpoint on the road from Sedbergh to Hawes.

So here we are in Richmond enjoying a glorious Yorkshire morning. Sharp, bright and sunny. We're at the Richmond Books and Boots festival which involves organised walks by day and literary events in the evening. The literary events have varying levels of "brow."

Today being glorious we're going to skip the festival and drive to the coast. Saltburn is only be an hour away.

Morning all

First thing to do today is to source a 6kg propane bottle. I ran out last night and had to change over to my reserve bottle. The local hardware store has some in stock.
Nice bit of sunshine yesterday on my solar panel which charged my leisure battery right up again.
The joys of off grid living.

Steve Carrell is a very good serious actor too.

I have been watching reruns of the Michael Gambon Maigret , good but Rowan Atkinson much better.
Maigret must be unique among fictional detectives , he is not divorced does not have a drink problem, is not always in conflict with his superiors. He has a stable home life with a supportive wife .

Jethro Tull ! . @Drago your too young, there more my age group.

Quite a few years back I went to see a Mick Abrahams gig. His usual drummer was ill so he got Clive Bunker to guest with him.
Kind of half of Jethro Tull on stage..

I've been watching those as well and I have to agree, Rowan Atkinson is better.
