Re: Catherine O'Hara

Couldn’t agree more Zed 👍🏻

She was a comic, true and true and cut her teeth in the hardest of environments - the ensemble comedy troupe, performing sketches live in stage. That is not for the faint of heart.

I guess what I mean is I’d have loved to have seen her play more range, more often but ...

Re: Catherine O'Hara

I mentioned in another thread how she got her start with John Candy and others. Her eulogy at his funeral was lovely.

I think she was a far better actor than perhaps her career would suggest.

Rest in Peace

Re: Can I get a TV that's just a TV?

I have a new LG, a recommendation from here, and I have none of those issues.

In fact, I almost never use the TV remote. Sky remote turns it on, controls the volume etc. I watch all streaming via the Sky Q box.

You just appear to have bought the wrong TV

I've got a solid plumber / gas engineer, a sparky and a general builder guy who's my roofer.

Feel your pain DJ - we need the same on our Kitchen extension. Remove all tiles, replace waterproof course and replace tiles and re-do flashing

Re: Trump

The Noem one I saw yesterday but it doesn't seem to be published today - Probably just speculation that was removed once proven to be incorrect.

There's a lot of that going round...

Edit - this was the report:

Re: The Holiday Thread

We learned long ago that if you're not into your Apres (which we absolutely are not), staying in the resort is a waste of time. (Having a non drinker mate who doesn't mind driving in the evening helps too. :D )

Re: The Holiday Thread

Oh right - in my mind, your trips were a regular thing...

My last two or three trips have been 5 day'ers to Kitzbuhel. Fly to Munich and it's a couple of hours from there in the car. We can do two of us, sharing a car and a double room, all in for about £1000 each.

We've sort of figured out how ...

Good luck with that - I tried but gave up in the end. I think she's too "working class" for skiing, despite loving the snow.

Re: The Space Thread

Went to see a Brian Cox Lecture last night and he was talking about the Deep Space Network and how it communicates with various Planetary Probes.

He put up the DSN website live on stage and at that very moment, live and in real time, the EM2 Antenna in Canberra was communicating with Voyager 2
