We went to see Die Hard in a cinema in Bristol on the 4th of July (I guess in 1989?). Afterwards we went for a few beers in an American bar to celebrate Independence Day. So for me it isn't really a Christmas movie.

The new game is 'guess if parcel has been delivered and where it might be'. I had Royal Mail play that game with me last week. I found it behind one of the wheelie bins after I'd logged on to their Tracker page to see where it was and found the message 'Handed To Resident'

Don't all those rich guys require a staircase that goes nowhere just for show? And their roof needs to be tin, which rings very loudly when it hails. Little time then to provide a spare room for use as a studio, especially with all the biddy biddy bum malarkey

Are they re-launching Terrahawks? My kids used to watch that programme in the 1980s

You can tell they've never lived that life if they're saying it was the good old days. Few houses had a coal fire lit in each room, so one room might be red hot with its roaring fire, but the other rooms would have ice on the inside of their windows, especially first thing in the morning.

Those unnecessary data centres should be part of a load shedding scheme. If the supply network looks to be overloaded they should either shut down or radically reduce their load

Agreed. Learning about his apparent thought processes before and during that tragic incident would have been very informative. Anger and fear (plus machismo) are a toxic combination, which I assume played a part as events unfolded.

My late boss told me that during his National Service days, work parties were given breaks for a smoke. If you didn't smoke you didn't get the same breaks. So of course him and the lads used to smoke.

There is a shortage of testicles in the USA though and such a move would require balls. Clearly a handful of female journalists have cornered that market

I assume he can get a couple of doctors to declare him unfit for trial. A lot of folk are attacking him by saying that he is too elderly and so unfit for office so they could use that as evidence. It's another 'bone spur' moment

I hope he gets some support because obviously he's in need
I wondered if he'd broken a law or two. His sin appears to be accepting a cup of tea and a couple of Peak Freans from the Mayor, but perhaps 'impersonation'?
My silly side thinks he needs Medicinal Compound as marketed by The Scaffold

It died around a decade ago but was never laid to rest. Despite it always being a bit of a right wing rag it used to be the newspaper with the most news. But oh dear, last time I bought it I found it to be barely good enough to line our cat's litter tray. 'How the mighty have fallen'

We've seen loads of them arrive on our streets just recently. Many are Taxis. Each one annoys the hell out of me. Also many TeSSla drivers have taken on the attitude that was exclusive to BMWs, so up your tailpipe following, blacked out windows, no indicating and generally an entitled attitude
