I watched two films over the weekend - one great, one absolute stinker: Black hat. Terrible plot, terrible cast, terrible acting, a love interest with zero chemistry. It's the type of film that really needed a lead with enough charisma to paper over the cracks in the rest of the film, but Chris Helmsworth is truly dreadful. Both him and Michael Mann should be barred from filmmaking after this.
On the other hand, I watched The Long Goodbye, which is excellent. Really enjoyable, in that lazy quite ridiculous seventies vibe. Some of the scenes are downright hilarious and Elliott Gould is amazing as always, although the stage is stolen by the most ridiculous portrayal of a gangster I've ever seen.

Had a few last ditch pince tonight. Not just the general vibe but i think everyone has had enough now. Taxi driver on way home reckons Tony H hasn't thought a wink about the impact his new restrictions are gonna have. Very sad."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

Speaking of cricket, England offering up some unexpectedly stiff last ditch resistance in Adelaide and have somehow taken the game into the final session on Day 5. Still massive dogs but showing some decent resolve for a change and hopefully augurs for a better showing in Melbourne on Stephens Day.
Just to give an example of how dogged they've been, Jos Buttler, one of the best attacking ODI batsmen in the world, has batted 196 balls for 25 runs so far. Your average snail moves at warp speed by comparison."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I went with two men from rural Ireland called, respectively, Smoothie Jay and T-Bone who had never been within an asses roar of cricket in their lives. They're now hooked. There was a mobile court at the grounds doing brisk trade fining bogans who had gotten out of hand.
It was quite the experience."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Shocked the hear religious services are exempt from the 8pm restriction on indoor gatherings. What is the science behind this?
Can't go to a concert or the cinema but can go to mass! This is a moral judgement not a scientific one. Sharia law Irish style.

There was killings at it one year, the last year I think.
There was an old well known really popular Jewish man in the community, Yan was his name. He used to do Santa every year at Dunne's Stores. He was a holocaust survivor.
He gave out communion at the church.
He was doing that one year at midnight mass and some drunken oul lad stood up and roared anti semitic obscenities at him 'that Jew shouldn't be handing out our bread' type of stuff.
Yan was well liked, so the guy was dragged out of the place and battered.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Tiger and Charlie Woods. Unbelievable stuff. The kid is sensational for a 12-year-old. Great to see Tiger back doing his stuff. He's a long way off being physically able for walking for 4 days of tournament golf. You could see him limping and without the cart, he wouldn't have been able to play those two rounds. However, he's still got it.

Booster appointment booked, this Wednesday in my GPs, I wasn't even expecting them to contact me as I've only been twice ever over the course of about 6 years. Tried to get them to give my wife an appointment but they said they are no longer accepting new patients in their practice, which I've heard is a serious problem around Ireland at present, hard to get a new GP.

Agree with Solks.
Dalys won yesterday by shooting the tournament record and every highlight show here shows Tiger and Charlie.
Now John Daly is a bum, always has been. Always will be. And yes Tiger still moves the needle, but you’d expect a bit more for the tournament winners shooting a record score.
I feel sorry for D2, he’s having a rough go in college and some kudos from the media might be due.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
