Reads really Old Books, listens to Stoner Rock, watches Movies and collects British Comic Books (2000AD, Eagle etc). Loves 1930s Pulp (Fantasy and Science Fiction). Works with GNU/Linux. Irish, Anxious, Asperger's - not necessarily in that order.
Finally had a procedure today to remove these damn nasal polyps that have haunted me for 10 years. My nose is a bloody mess (and certainly going to hurt tomorrow), but I've been given painkillers and 2 weeks off work to recover, so lots of coffee and movies!
Should be breathing properly again too 👍

It is. I don't think they ever hid that it was a High Noon remake. I'm watching the new 4K transfer from Arrow, it's pretty neat!

2 cents worth on the "how to continue Bond franchise" discourse... from someone who has been reading and watching Bond about 40 years now...
