Best of luck Paul
Similarly ... I queued on the laptop for an hour or two about 3 weeks back for Tesco Christmas deliveries Result ! got a slot on the 22nd ! So I could order the vegan special Except they are not doing it this year Ok, second best there are interesting looking main vegan meals Few days back I went to plug them into the order for the 22nd - out of stock, apart from one that may be ok For safety's sake I'm keeping the normal Tuesday slot and keeping the 22nd as well - fair few items out of stock recently then back again
So glad all my kit is on Creaktiv racks

Make a start building it, or make a start Christmas drinking?

If I was in UK I'd ask to come over and build it Paul. I've been taking CNC machines apart at work all week to unclog coolant lines of the miserable fiberglass G10 material we've been running through them. I'm ready to go Paul. We gotta get that gear up and music moving through it.
Step 1 is a drink.

At least yesterday's groceries turned up today, but minus the out of stock Tawny Port which was in stock yesterday. They subbed it with Sainsbury's Ruby Port. That went straighrt back.

Not sure if its an ADD thing but when it's time to choose a film to view I just keep scrolling endlessly. Nothing looks good enough on Prime or Netflix and I have 3 channel subscriptions on Prime.
Was able to finally just pick a couple Barbarian (Not great) and Sicario 2 (awesome) and now am completely out of ideas while sitting at home with a nasty sinus headache.
During a flu though all movies look watchable and I just hit play on everything I see.

Sicario 2 was every bit up to the superb original.
Check the IMDB category tables for some ideas. Not the top rated films, though, which are nearly all crap.

Thanks fellows will try IMDB and Seven Samurai even if I have to rent it.
Tbh Sicario 2 (Day Of The Soldado) shocked me because the ending was powerful. I havent seen a strong ending in a while and that was amazing.
The Keep is getting a remake by The Walking Dead director Greg Nicotero. Will try again with the original The Keep as well.

Will do, Mike. I have a full week off from work coming up for holidays. It will be interesting to see this.
Here's one I haven't thought of in 20 years and would like to see again. True Romance with Christian Slater. A lot of good names in that cast.

Sainsbury's has excelled with my order today. Loads of substitutes, which I expected, and most of them are OK-ish, but a 140g Pork Pie instead of a 440g Pork Pie? OK, I'm not going to starve, but that should have been the basis of 2 days' dinners. They're also delivering 180g of "ordinary" coleslaw instead of 300g of vegan coleslaw. There are others, but they all pale into insignificance alongside my 400g of Red Cabbage being substituted for 500g of frozen organic peas. I was rather looking forward to "Sainsbury's Stem Ginger & Rum Chutney" with my array of cheeses too, but I'm sure the Sainsbury's Sour Cherry & Prosecco Chutney(?), will be just as nice. Good job I placed an exploratory order with Morrisons via Amazon and bagged some Market Street Deli Fig & Honey Chutney, and I've already got my favourite Mrs Balls chutney. Just an FYI, the first 3 orders with Morrisons/Amazon are £15.00 off if you spend over £50.00, with free delivery.

Sainsburys was teeming with people seemingly suffering from Brownian motion, all crammed into the store and moving randomly so as to cause the most resistance in moving from A to B. Challenge accepted, Ruth and I moved through it like a dose of salts and were out of there with a full trolley before we were set into place by the stupidons.
Driving out, there were even more people queuing to get in. I mouthed 'good luck' while departing.

My entire section of the city lost power yesterday. Restored today at 4pm. Power out again an hour later.
Will hit the road and listen to music and hockey and go see Avatar 2 lol. Maybe it will come back on tonight.

My sister experienced - 8C in Houston, a temperature she had never seen and not one that Texans are used to.

London has been horrible - much warmer and wetter, got drenched yesterday. Would prefer it to be freezing and dry!
