I kind of figured that was the case. I was just hoping. The way back machine seems to be down right now, but they may have been captured there. Has anyone checked with Mr. Peabody?

I thought I recalled Shax trying to save some threads back in the day, but I have no idea what the outcome was.

Watching Godzilla (2019) again and I think this is only movie I’ve seen where Charles Dance is a pos.

57 today and, lately, I have been reminded of a different anniversary (go back to posts a year ago, if you are curious). Birthdays stopped having any real meaning, after the days of parties with schoolmates and birthday cakes and just kind of became road markers. Last year's sucked beyond belief. This year, it is just me and the kitties and they already gave me their well wishes, by waking me up to attend to them and Aja has delivered her birthday bites.
So, since I can't get Claire Grogan to do it in person (preferably in a similar manner as Marilyn Monroe and John F Kennedy, with all that allegedly entailed) I will settle for the Scottish pixie delivering one from the past....
There, that's better.
Now, for some crab linguini!

Dammit, that stupid Red Lobster on-line system messed up and I ended up with cajun chicken linguini!
Cue Lesley Gore......

First-world problem: banks forever closing branches in this country.
I have a mobile banking app, but on two occasions recently, I needed to be in a bank to solve an issue. Had to drive 3 miles to the nearest one - and yet MPs are always telling us to shop local, do business locally, etc. I’m sure it was great for the environment for me to drive 3 miles to a bank and 3 miles back.
There used to be six banks on my high street. Now there are two. One is Lloyds, the other is Halifax. Since Lloyds own Halifax, I doubt both will remain open.
And the only workable ATM around here (the non-affiliated ones) charges you £1.75 to take money out.
I’m certain things would be better if I was running things. Proposed law: no bank can close while it has a certain threshold of customers. There was always a queue in my bank, so why they have closed is a mystery to me, they clearly had customers.

Watching Godzilla (2019) again and I think this is only yet another movie I’ve seen where Charles Dance is a pos. Fixed that for you. I didn't think he ever played anything but a sleazy, snobby, malicious asshat. And really, really well, by the way. Granted, the list below is only of movies and TV in which I've seen him (or heard he was in), but I have a feeling his heroic roles are few and far between. Maxim de Winter in "Rebecca" Tulkinghorn in "Bleak House" Ralph Nickleby in "Nicholas Nickleby" Nazi fifth columnist in "Foyle's War" Another Nazi sympathizer in "White Mischief" Judge who sentenced an innocent man to be executed in "And Then There Were None" Mountbatten in "The Crown" Stockbridge in "Gosford Park" A Brit SIS officer who tortures prisoners in "Michael Collins" Benedict in "Last Action Hero" Burgess in "The Sandman" That Lannister guy who ordered the gang-rape of a peasant girl in "Game of Thrones"

First-world problem: banks forever closing branches in this country. That's not a "First-World Problem"; not insofar as that phrase referring to something trivial that we in the West moan about but is really of no consequence. The closure of high street banks has very real social consequences. It puts people out of work; it excludes and inconveniences lower income workers or the self-employed who need to pay their wages in at a branch; it massively inconveniences the elderly who may rely on local branches due to not being confident with online banking; it is a huge problem for those who don't drive (particularly if local public transport is not so good); and it impacts other high street businesses by removing a reason for people to go into town in the first place. It really is no small or trifling matter.
