Just watched Die hard 2 :smile:
Vengeance tomorrow :hyper:
You still feel safe flying?

The latest EE advert has the setup in one room of a house, landing a plane.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I was put off Bruce Willis When He was on the One show. It was like talking to a brick. They couldn't get a word out of him.

And his fellow actors refused to have him appear in a second film because he made ludicrous demands and was basically am A...hole.

You should watch the Die Hard movies.
The first will put you off high rise buildings for life.
The second will put you off flying, and the the third will put you off travel by any means.

Unusually for us now we actually made and ate what was planned for yesterday, except for a Caesar Salad. The morning meal was fruit salad with banana, pear, blueberries, navel orange and grapes and a cheddar and tomato omelet. Dinner was lasagna, and as is usual, enough was made to feed at least 8 people. It included a box of lasagna noodles, 32 oz of Ricotta, 1 1/2 quarts of spaghetti sauce, rich and meaty with hot Italian sausage and ground beef, and 8 oz of grated parmesan. I got everything prepared and the final touches were done by Mrs 12, which was fine by me. We polished of the fruit salad instead of making the Caesar. I managed to get an hour of upper body weight lifting and a 3 1/2 mile stroll in, which was kind of needed considering the gorging I did.
Of course we had phone and Zoom calls with the sons, grandson and the sons' wives. BTW, Classic, each son has only 1 wife.
High wind warning again today but I may get a walk in anyway. I would love a bike ride but with 55 mph gusts I can see getting knocked down and will err on the side of caution.

Isn't more than one against the law?

I've spent weeks deciding on which phone to buy. Tonight I was ready to press the button on a Galaxy A72 only to discover it is discontinued. The phone was launched in March of this year. I asked Samsung and have been told it is completely sold out and they will not be making any more. It's still available on Amazon but I'm now very suspicious. Why discontinue what seems to be an outstanding phone?

I'll sleep on it but it's looking like a Galaxy A52s 5G. Curry's in Chorley have one in stock and the young woman who works there is extraordinarily helpful. I always make sure to buy from here in case she gets a bonus.

Oh God... I'm agreeing with you again! :laugh:

I saw him interviewed and he made it absolutely clear that he was only doing the interview because he was contracted to do the publicity round for a movie that he had presumably been paid millions for starring in. He made it clear that he was very bored, irritated even. A complete prat!

Er, is that a serious question...? :whistle:

That's is how consumerism/capitalism works! Companies are not interested in selling you something which does the job so well that you will never buy anything again. They do the minimum necessary to clinch the sale and then sell you pretty much the same thing a year or two later with just a couple of new features added!

The immaculate used phone I bought for £80-odd on eBay was £500 new a couple of years before that. The young woman who sold it to me was presumably replacing it with a 'better' one costing £600+! :eek:

Has anybody here got a Halifax account. If so, could you log in and see if there is anything odd about the dates on your account? I am seeing transactions for the 29th December, today - the 26th! (It may be something to do with Christmas and Boxing Day followed by 2 bank holidays, but it looks really odd!)
And it's too late to phone and check.

Do you "know who will take the money", as in you've used them before?
