 What a bloody cheek!

Pinching the author’s name and the title of a book by H.G. Wells for a film called The Shape Of Things To Come made in 1979 is bad enough but rewriting the story and doing it badly is too f-ing much.
    Even worse is the ancient computer technology (to current eyes). What was it? A Space 1999 rip-off? With a nod in the direction of the contemporary Buck Rogers?
    “Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?”
    “Not this load of cobblers, that’s for sure.”

 Getting in first

Curiously, there was some nutter in the distance letting off fireworks in the rain at about 11 p.m. on December 31st.
    A nutter still on BST?

 Helpful suggestion

If the Daily Mail’s Jenni Murray finds jim-jams too hot in bed, maybe she needs to turn the heating down; or off; to spare the nation from power blackouts.

 No way forward

When you look at a photo of a house totally destroyed by a gas explosion, like the one in Worcestershire last Tuesday, you do wonder about the mentality of the nutters who think hydrogen is a viable substitute for natural gas.

 The world turned upside down

Crumbs! Another weekend without wall-to-wall Murder, She Wrote, is it? How will we cope? Nope, Jessica has been cancelled only on Saturday of this weekend.

 Scrappy New Year!

Do you ever get the urge to bang on a window where there’s a lit Xmas tree on show and yell: “Put those lights out! Don’t you know there’s a fuel crisis?”
    I’m sure it’s something the Bossy Buggers would love a licence to do.
    As long as they got a police escort to ensure they weren’t lynched by indignant taxpayers.
