... oooh, I suddenly feel really old! The last time I was there, my photos were taken on old-style film! :D

:hi:Ciao, lade ! What part of Italy?

Does it, though? Isn't AM's proposal pretty much along the same lines as The Man in the High Castle, only a couple of centuries earlier? The "something" that changes history could be a single decision taken by a single soldier or politician on a single, unremarkable day in the thick of the war...

Although somewhat a fan of alternate histories, I would have to contest a lot of these "if not ... then neither ..." statements. I would say that you have perfectly channelled Churchill's belief in the overwhelming exceptionalism of the British (still alive and well today in the Tory party) and...

Greetings, George! :hi:

Hallo, Miko ! :hi:

Dia duit, Colm :hi:

Ya gotta admit, these aliens are crafty fekkers: they've been coming and going for a few hundred years - or more - and, like the most model hiker, never leave any tangible trace of their presence. Not only that, but they've chosen as their favourite stomping ground the US of A, so the rest of us...

Go easy on the plot twists - I'm still trying to cope with shift from pallets to palates and back to pallets again. 😵‍💫

Are you growing your own bacon too? Pics, pics, pics! 🐷

This sounds rather similar to a problem described on another forum recently, by someone who couldn't get their new-ish TV to accept a signal from a brand-new graphics card. The consensus on that discussion was The workaround in that case involved using a display port adaptor to help reconcile...

Greetings, Aahz ! :hi:

Never saw them in airports, but they were a regular presence in Dublin city centre during my youth. And then they weren't. Don't think I've seen one in the flesh for at least twenty years, though, so I reckon there's a whole generation who'd have no idea that you were referring to a group that...

They'll need us to cope with the default state of chaos that applies to this planet we live on. Robots, and the computers that control them, can only work efficiently in a neat and highly ordered environment; and we humans thrive in mess. Frequently its a mess of our own making, but not always...

As always, these lads have their finger on the pulse of the world ...

:weird: D'you mean the fee you've just posted in plain text on a public forum, right after a link to the song in question ...?

I thought the most impressive thing was genetically modifying all the tomato leaves to be basil. Makes so much sense to have tomato and basil on the same plant. :lol:

Congratulations ! 🎉 But be advised : you are now on a slippery slope that could lead to an all-out obsession with growing your own food. 🧑‍🌾

It's funny how some movies can completely escape the consciousness of some people. This afternoon, a minor incident prompted me to link it to a scene in the movie Amélie. This was the highest grossing movie in France in the year it was released (2001), has a swathe of cover versions of its...

Damn! I thought this was going to be a work of unrealistic fiction. :tear:
