Knobs at the movies last night. Sitting in our reserved seats with a 'They were empty, so we thought...' Of course they moved reluctantly, with giggles. HO HO!
Bridget Jones' Baby:
A funny and poignant film which is an exellent evenings light entertainment.
Lots of laughs throughout, especially in the set pieces at the festival and the newsroom.
Apart from Hugh Grant it has, with a few exceptions, the same cast, much older of course, as the previous two films. So can be viewed with some continuity. To complete the set the same director, Sharon Macguire is at the helm.
The introduction of an American, apart from Bridget, as a lead actor is a good move with an eye on the American market for what is a quintisentially British movie. I read though, that it was not a great success in the US of A.
A good meal, this film and a coffee or a drink afterwards with a river view makes a highly recommended evening out.
(four out of five stars.)

Or Space ships??
What about shoot outs or slow-mo fight scenes???
Not even the people from Pixar doing voice-overs????
Did it at least have an ad with Ray Winstone saying '365' in a voice that would credit a phone perv?????
No!?
Sounds great!!

People who pull out of a side road to turn right - and then take about 10 car lengths to actually fully cross the centre line of the main roadway.
Meanwhile 'normal' people have to slow and swerve left to avoid said car as it straddles both side of the road.
What about people who do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cActSFgN7cMeanwhile 'normal' people have to slow and swerve left to avoid said car as it straddles both side of the road.
The driver shouldn't have pulled out, but I can't understand why people like you drive up their arse?

How on earth did I log on to this and then read about Bridget's Jones' Baby. Deaknow PH has been compared to Mumsnet, but we don't need to prove it. It expanded from TVR to general motoring interest but it was about cars on this major forum.
Fair play, WD 39. This forum is a broad church. incidentally - might even start new thread- did WD 40 refer to War Department, their 40th formula, or Water Dispersant?
It was just a continuation from the 'knobs in our reserved seats' comment. Seemed a perfect time to exercise the frustrated film critic within.Fair play, WD 39. This forum is a broad church. incidentally - might even start new thread- did WD 40 refer to War Department, their 40th formula, or Water Dispersant?

In my defence, there are a couple of 'knob' type characters in the film.
But it's what I like about PH. You can go off piste on a thread, maybe for a couple of posts, then it's back on track. Good old PH.

t you not.
Could they have possibly not known how close it was? What was the reaction of the cab driver? ?t you not.The tosser on the 125 with L plates on the way home tonight. Yes, the Audi was always going to be able to overtake you no matter how hard you tried to speed up. And I would have as well except I like to think I'm not a knob, and could see you were sliding all over the road trying to keep up so decided to back off. Which meant I then had to follow you for the rest of my journey when my car can cope with twisty wet roads much better than your st heap 
When you grow up and get yourself a big boys bike then you can stop worrying about being overtaken, but for now do everyone a favour and accept being overtaken. And at the same time you'll be doing yourself a favour by not killing yourself.

ANOTHER dawdler on my way home from work last night - pulled out in front of me on the roundabout and then proceeded to alternate between 20-30 mph on a 60 MPH country road. Full beam on/off like some sort of theatre show - always a tell tale sign of a numpty on this road.
Anyway, sat behind them patiently (at a good distance) all the while panicking that someone, actually capable of doing a half decent speed, is going to come up behind us and slam right into the back of me not expecting someone to be crawling along in a 60 zone at 20.
Didn't overtake as this is a country road and it's difficult to tell if anything is going to be oncoming in the opposite lane or not - despite this anyone with half a brain can safely achieve 50 mph +
10 minutes later we reach the run up to the "end" of that country lane - a well lit STRAIGHT piece of road with good viability - at this point dawdler then decides SOMEHOW that this is even more difficult to handle than before and slows down EVEN MORE. A this point I swing out and overtake.
I then get flashed to death in some sort of display of rage by the dawdler. Tell you what mate, bugger off will you. I've just finished work and sat behind you for the last 10 minutes patiently while you struggle to reach 30 MPH in a 60 zone - you've already extended my drive home considerably with your dawdling. Yes, I overtook you, it was a legal manover and safe to do so because A) unlike you, I'm capable of making reasonable progress when safe to do so and B) I'd prefer NOT to have a HGV entering my anus when they unexpectedly find you crawling along at 20 MPH in a 60 zone.
P.S. all of this could have been avoided anyway if you'd waited your turn at the roundabout and NOT pulled out in front of me and then proceeded at pitiful speeds significantly under the posted limit.

A lot of that is learned behavior. What people fail to realise is that as soon as you have children in your car you are a driving instructor. If Mum or Dad are Autodysfuncional Egotists and can not handle being overtaken their little cherubs will be just as bad if not worse. t heap When you grow up and get yourself a big boys bike then you can stop worrying about being overtaken, but for now do everyone a favour and accept being overtaken.

But don't worry they'll be statistics soon enough and Mum and Dad (maybe) will blame whoever else is on the road at the time.
The complete & utter wk brained st in a black Golf who decided as I approached the M4/M25 interchange he didn't want the lane he was in, M4 eastbound, he needed to stay on the M25!
Best way to do this?
Well, Mr wk brained st decided to drift onto the Hatched markings & without looking or indicating come straight into my lane at about a car length in front!! Good job I was only travelling at about 60 as I was unable to move to L2 because of the traffic flow. Am also very glad I had new discs & pads at my last service too.
Mate. You`re a danger to others & I suppose yourself too. Think yourself lucky that I have encountered a wk brained st before & managed to not rear end you & that the van behind me was also able to slow so that I wasn't rear ended either.
It would also have been nice if either you, or the fknut with a face like a retarded weasel, in the back of the car accepted your monumental fk up with a certain amount of good grace, rather than offer me some coffee beans.
Guess you were going back to Shorpe because imo. Whilst you can take a out of Shorpe, you are such a you just makes a big of yourself wherever you are!
