    The Poseidon Adventure Cast

    I remember watching that once and thinking that they hadn't thought it through. Once they limited the number of deaths the sense of menace evaporated. I did like the big gold cross at the end though.

    The Poseidon Adventure Cast

    That is the one about the leper ship and not an adaptation of the James Herbert book

    The Poseidon Adventure Cast

    I did watch Voyage of the Damned this week which is almost The Poseidon Adventure and has the added benefit of Kylie Minogue in a maids outfit

    I think the term you are looking for is Second Lady and Lynne will out live Dick.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    The Remain campaign was awful from start to finish. It started with David Cameron who with his negotiation asked for nothing and got slightly less. The focus should not have been project fear but impress on people the benefits of European Union membership including ease of travel, investment in the poorest areas, cultural protection and the safeguards on workers rights and the environment. It should also have included a commitment to reform and lead in Europe. There were elements of dog whistle racism to the Leave campaign to target a certain demographic. Many on the left have always been suspicious of the EU and I understand their motives but the likes of Farage, Rees-Mogg, Patel, Gove and Davies (and Hoey) make me shudder. After the vote I was hoping that there would be some coming together but nothing has been offered to the Remainers to bring us on board with project Brexit. In the opposite scenario there would have been a concerted effort to understand the concerns of the Leavers. We are now left in an appalling divided society. Where each side is suspicious of the motives of the other.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    As a Remainer my problem is that I do not trust the motives of the architects of Brexit. I do not believe they have the best outcome for the UK in mind only the removal of inconvenient barriers to their wealth and power. Europe has a big impact on my work.

    Room 101

    At my previous job we had to do extended days to supervise junior staff who were working. One guy and I were meant to be on alternate weeks of earlies and lates after one day we decided to permanently switch I would do the early and he would do the late. It worked better for us both.

    Thoughts On The 2018 List

    On my graph I have eight previous year's data. At the moment 2018 is laying in the middle 4 above and 4 below. If that is to continue the next window for death is between 29th May and 7th June. We are still ahead of record breaking 2017.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    I also might be being harsh on Christopher as he is not the sole beneficiary of the estate but he is the literary guardian of his father's works. A bit concerned what will happen when Christopher dies. Will there be a Tolkien free for all as the extended family try to make as much money as possible. Contrast Christopher with say Brian Herbert and it looks a lot more respectful.

    Names we dislike

    One of the clever things that Roy Clarke did in Keeping Up Appearances was to name the four sisters with flower names. Hyacinth, Daisy, Rose and Violet but not draw any attention to it.
