Father Ted.

IMDB link.

Yes!!! Me too!!! I recorded it onto a VHS tape off the TV as a kid and I’m probably at a similar watch count to you. It’s my favourite movie of all time.

Aliens.

Still holds up in 4K nearly 40 years on. The drop ship, the mother alien, the armoured carrier, all incredible looking.

Haha. Sorry! I mean I really did enjoy it. But “must watch” is a high standard.

I faced similar with Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) with my 15 year old. I deliberately didn’t watch it for nearly 10 years to wait on the 4k release. Got gifted a Blu-ray player between my wife and eldest son for Christmas, had a big “Aliens night” when the disc arrived and she called it “mid” 😭

I appreciated the recommendation of something slightly obscure enough to watch it straight after your comment though for what it’s worth.

Thanks. Haven’t come across this one before. It’s on prime for anyone interested.

Will add this to the watchlist.

Edit: Watched it just now as it’s short and the house is quiet. I wouldn’t have it on my must see list but it was enjoyable

Yeah I got the same but only for a subset. Nearly all of them went through so maybe that happened for you too?

It’s a good idea. I still have time off their offices are in the country. Cheers.

There might be. This website makes the process of emailing your representatives very easy.

I heavily changed the text they proposed in the hopes that it would be read. Just sent it now. If you’re in the EU it’s worth sending the email IMO.

The constitution in Ireland guarantees privacy in the home so I added that into the mix.

I more or less do the same for finding new communities but I do browse my feed by “scaled” first to try to engage posts early in Comms that I’m interested in, then move to all top twelve hours after.

Lawnchair supports it.

And finally: I still have a flip-phone and have no other computing devices beyond the one desktop PC I’m writing

That is hardcore. I respect it. Even my 86 year old mother has a smartphone.

I am incredibly difficult to buy gifts for because I have everything I want, which is not much at all.

The “made in a shed” poitín is very difficult to lay your hands on. I’ve only had it once and it was grim. The government cracked down hard on it in the 80s.

There is a legal variety that you can get now but it wouldn’t be popular. I should maybe give that a whirl.

Good enough for me. Elbows up Canuck friend.

Can’t wait tbh. Seriously.

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

Thank you!

You’ll have to fill me in on what bison grass is bud :)

What would you recommend? I’m not a vodka person generally. Got Finlandia today.

That’s actually why I looked :D I thought Russia was unlikely (the sanctions are taken seriously here but I wanted to be certain). Never would have thought it was made in the US tbh.
