Union Jack Classic

My second College Football event of the year

I was suprised and pleased with the seats The organisers had moved the crowd down from the gods.

There was no fly past alas. My brother noted 

It was a pretty close game. Arizona won, over Kansas

November 27, 1948 – September 15, 2026

As Used Cars is one of my favourite classic comedies. I am sorry to note his passing

Played a Q, in Deathwish ST :VOY and was shortlisted for Odo

82

A very happy 82 birthday to my father

Clue ( 1985)

 

As a tribute to the late Tim Curry. I viewed this, I should actually sit down and watch the Rocky Horry Picture Show. Which stars one of my favourite actors Barry Boswick but nevertheless

I had forgotten the stepped in dog dirt joke at the beginning

It rains. It rains all the time, in DC so this is nice

It is quite a good period piece.If it was made now it would be set in 1985

Lots of comedy stalwarts- Christopher Lloyd, Curry, get the praise but Madeline Khan, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull are no slouches either

Michael McKean made a career playing Federal Agents with something to hide. Lots of physical comedy from him and Curry- Curry throwing McKean about

Everyone smokes

I did wonder if Curry was bored timelord in this... Maybe the Dr or the Master, depending on what you watch

QPR v Middlesboro

 

Off to Dublin in the Sky blue

After decades I went to see what I have only read off..The GPO in Dublin, 

I was pleased to see the Cuchulain statue. I was disspointed that the statue is not more prominent. Oh and quite surprised to see word of Meagher 

The GPO building is quite impressive and still in use.

JW et al should not be allowed to use the outside site. Just move them up the road 

That said, I dislike the Garda uniforms - there were Garda huddling outside the building escaping the downpours of Dublin 

There was but one card reader at the GPO ticket office

The museum should be free

Dublin notes

Took this photo for my daughter.
