Watch it, it's like going back in time 20 years with today's best cameras. Proper helicopters too, none of the CGI shit. You'd never have guessed there were strings on the original tune before the remaster came out either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So effectively films were (or still are?) downgraded in quality to match the medium they're being played on? It's something I've not really thought about before, then the other day I was thinking "Hang on..." I went to see 2001 space odessey at the Prince Charles in Leicester Square the other week and that was the original cut in 70mm which from memory is something like 18000 lines of definition so more like 6k ? So still some scope for improvement ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there's anything wrong with that but it does highlight to the people that may care about such nonsense, that the child was born out of wedlock My friend was adopted as she was conceived during a holiday romance with a very young mother. I could go on for ages about her story and eventual reunion with her mother only in the last few years but her birth story still weirds me out. I grew up in Moseley and had no idea about this till she told me. To this day she can tell people she was born at The Grange in Moseley and people will gasp. Reason? The Grange is where unmarried mothers went to give birth because THE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE BIRTH IN A REGULAR HOSPITAL. She was born in 1968, it sounds like something Victorian but went well on into the 70's I understand. Edited October 4, 2018 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she realised straight away that I wasn't keen, I don't think I even said anything. I did compromise though. Her surname is Harper so our daughter has got that as a middle name. The weird one though is she has a daughter who has her ex's surname. Who will obviously have a different surname to the 3 of us when we get married next year. The chances of him letting her change her name are slim and understandable even if a dick. More than happy for her to do it if she wants when she can, but she's only 6 so that's not happening any time soon. Anyway my Mrs has suggested she has ours with her current surname. Which I'm not going to object to, if it even happens, but do think it's a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted October 5, 2018 Administrator Share Posted October 5, 2018 The only weird thing is that people have become accustomed to men branding "their" women with their surname. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the male name as the family name is at least useful as an agreed convention for anybody researching family tree history. And I do find it amusing when women refuse to take their husband's name for feminist reasons, insisting on keeping their, errr... dad's name. Perhaps we should adopt the Icelandic system.

a m ole Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Which is the unofficial Halloween night out when the 31st doesn’t fall on a Friday or Saturday? If it lands on a Sunday, is it the Saturday the 30th or a week after? If it’s a Wednesday like this year, is it Saturday 27th or the Friday 1st Nov? or is it Saturday 2nd Nov? Essentially what I’m asking is, which is the MAIN day people will be in costumes and how can I avoid it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially what I’m asking is, which is the MAIN day people will be in costumes and how can I avoid it? I’d say on balance it’s preferable for a Halloween party to take place in October. If the 31st landed on a Thursday, I guess people would be tempted to hold the party on the Friday. I know my mate is going to one on the 27th, if that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
