The New Coffee Room

I suppose he, Laurie, is a couple of years older than me, and looking in the mirror I ain't too pretty these days

I'll add The Shield, ER, and The Wire to my list.

Happy New Year

@Doctor-Phibes
Pie in the Sky

Just suffered an hour of Ronan Keating, chosen by our kids. Quiet night round TV with Koppenburg pear cider, kids entertaining us.
London fireworks were pretty good as usual but I'm guessing Sydney or Bahrain may be better?

@89th
House, the Doctor. One of my daughters is currently binging it and I got sucked into a couple of episodes.

I'd add I bought the West Wing dvd set, it's that good.
House of Cards, I preferred the UK version.

I was going to say some Bogart film dialogue might be a forerunner

Agreed, on my new year list to binge, along with House,and Inspector Montalbano.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Day just ending here, watched the latest Daniel Craig detective movie on netflix; lovely to have both daughters around.
We're all still full of a super lunch. Mrs A cooked goose, Gammon, pigs in blankets, chestnut stuffing. And roasted veg potatoes/parsnips/carrots. I do love roast parsnips.

And then desert of Pannacotta, berry cheesecake, tiramisu, creme brulee.

Bit of an old fashioned Christmas, talked, given presents, long lunch, socialised all day.

Er, bedroom is presumably shared, so you will have to compromise on that area. Unless you can give her her own walk in wardrobe/dressing area.

89th, I'm the same as you, tidy with wife who's not bothered, who wants to keep stuff in case it could be reused.

Any surface becomes covered, be it shelf, table, kitchen units, bedroom floor her side. Large garage accumulates things that may be used.

You can't really change people, certainly not quickly; and upbringing is not a factor in this human nature as there are people in our family who had everything done for them and some are tidy, others not.

If history teaches us only one thing, it's that the wisest got out of Germany in 1933.

I wonder how often he nails it?

The 5 series are a lovely design, I'd choose an Estate/Touring version.

These crossovers have good driving vision but they ain't pretty.

I saw a stunningly beautiful car yesterday on a 6 hour drive, passing it as it joined the motorway, slowed to let it pass and followed it for 10 miles:
Aston Martin DB11 coupe in a silvery duck egg blue.
(I know the model as the numberplate was DB11 GGG) Special paint job as I think the roof was also light blue, reminding me of a classic e-type.

38,001, despite a 'you are here' pointer to Denver on one photo.
Got a Quebec photo completely wrong.
Real fun to play.

Fun, I scored 44,597/50,000

So is Trump(CF) acting as a dictator?
Is he a dictator?

I can't understand how one man can stop your DoJ, Congress & Senate following legal process. The investigation and prosecution of criminal offences is surely separate from Presidential administration?

Funny, I was just looking at what remains of Pianofacts.
Trying ( and failing) to find a thread started by a tuner, 'The best piano'
Anyone recall it? there were rules, it had to be family friendly, so affordable, upright?
Was the winner a £3k Yamaha?

Morals, who needs 'em.

Great video
