If only this was so! I've recently being made aware that the Minster has less than 5 years of refurbishment left with only enough time and funding to finish the windows/frames - 8 Stonemasons this year so far have been laid off. Bad aside...Loads of work out there if you're willing to travel.
Many thanks you two

If I try to edit this to read Don't mess up,it reads okay in the edit box but not in the forum....weird !
TT Productions could of course make their own version with some added bangers and rockets.

I don't know what you're laughing about - soon to be host to a bunch of piquay pisosoirs.Neighbour noise coming through the walls. Sorry to hear that, ali.
No, really.

Watching "The Spy Who Loved Me"
just watched the underwater scene in the lotus.
Never noticed how bad the models were before lol
That was a real vehicle though, driven by SCUBA divers, hence the escaping bubbles and why the windows had to be shuttered.just watched the underwater scene in the lotus.

I always wondered if the model Atlantis that you see when he arrives on it is also actually the model used for exterior shots though.

When they were shooting The Spy Who Loved Me I was working at Pinewood and can confirm that there were several white Espirit bodyshells lying around the lot. So a lot of it was done full size rather than with models. I always wondered if the model Atlantis that you see when he arrives on it is also actually the model used for exterior shots though.
Just taken Mrs C to hospital for a blood test. With the old system you just went to the blood test area, took a number and within half an hour were called in to have a sample taken. That is to say, you could have a test when you wanted, even on the same day as your doctor requested you have one. With the new system you ring up, ask for a blood test, are given an appointment and have to attend at the time nominated. On Tuesday when Mrs C rang to book, she asked for an appointment the same day. The receptionist scoffed and said she would have to wait 48 hours. So we just toddled along there, she checked in with five minutes to spare before her appointment and then we had to wait half an hour before she was seen. We asked what the reasons were behind the change as the new system seemed inconvenient compared to the old system and were told it was Health and Safety. To be clear, someone in a position of authority decided folk sitting for half an hour in a waiting room in a hospital constituted a health hazard and replaced that sytsem with a new and much safer system where people sit for half an hour in the same waiting room in the same hospital.

^^^^Sounds like a Hospital specific thing?
I recently had a blood test at Queen Marys in Roehampton and they still had a ticket system like you described. Seemed to work well enough, and as a bonus you got to listen to the banter between the two nurses who sounded like they were from the West Indies somewhere, possibly Barbados or Jamaica. Great accents.

Bajans speak with a slight Cornish lilt to their pronunciation. Like those from Monseratt who have an Irish accent mixed with the West Indian dialect.All wonderful but half the time some Islanders can't understand those from other islands. Confusion leads to a carnival of chaos.
