Better known to my generation as Barnacle Boy from Spongebob (but yes, I know he has done so much more in his career)...

Isn't Dalton Welsh?

Shurely that was Connery's English accent? Very similar to hish American accent, hish Middle Eastern accent, etc etc.....

Little Boy was Uranium and a gun type device. Fat Man was Plutonium and an implosion device. tl:dr Gun type is far simpler, was never tested, it didn't need to be. But it only works with uranium not plutonium. For plutonium you need an implosion, which is technically far more difficult, thus they tested it at Trinity. Further, the difficulty with uranium is separating enough 235 from the 238 they had mile long buildings to do this and still only had enough for one bomb, so no testing. Once you have a reactor (fermi) plutonium isn't that hard to get, but creating a nuclear detonation is far trickier than U235. ETA: Fuck that now looks like I'm going for the Sir Creep spamming award.

That is not punishment. That is every second Friday with the sixty year old bird next door. Ex nun. Loads of candles and years of torture experience.

oh damn. I must whip myself or something. bad me.

Bold move Mr. Quim! Good luck!

Stopping treatment - anyone heard yet?

In Trump's case, I would say that "nothing" is preferable- he is doing McCain a favor!

Fair point had forgotten about that film as I last saw it when I was 8 .An impressive performance by Moore. I will have watch it again this weekend to give you a considered verdict.

Dalton - English, decent stories (I'll accept the less than perfect acting, don't care) Moore - Just the right amount of suave (camp even?) sadly let down by dreadful storylines (moonraker? Oh please) Brosnan - Despite being Irish, at least didn't actually sound it. Connery - Aided by the best scripts, the tightest direction and being the first. Not nearly as good as 'best bond ever' merchants would have it. Lazenby - crap Craig - All semblance of tongue in cheek lost. Wooden actor, up himself. Drab stories.

My movie bonds in order: Roger Moore Sean Connery Pierce Brosnan Daniel Craig Timothy Dalton George Lazenby

88 today, the first and still the best james Bond

Well I just hope he can last long enough to see Trump indicted by Mueller !

There is an old apple tree in my garden. It was old when I was a child. I think it is a Bramley; cooking apples, anyway. Several years ago I cleared all the ivy that was smothering it as people told me it was no good for the tree. There turned out to be not much actual tree left under the ivy. It's hollow, and since then more of the trunk has disintegrated, so it's just a horseshoe of bark. The ivy has taken over again, and is probably holding it together. Still produces apples, and this year has been ridiculous. I've given loads away to neighbours, taken two big binfuls to a local cider producer, and there are still lots at the top out of reach. Remarkable.

I wonder if his Mum will make the funeral?

I wonder if he can make it to his birthday on August 29th next Wednesday? He'll be 82 if he makes it.

It was already agreed Mike Pence would go instead of Trump a few months ago.

Well Melania might be looking forward to another day out. They won't want Donald there

Because everyone wants to be first to hit "publish". Those Google placings don't earn themselves.

Wormfarmer picked DDP pick Robin Leach for this game. Looks like he dead:

You are to be tried in a kangaroo court for saying that.
