I hope it makes sense.

I know. It’s really annoying.

in the middle of the earth in the landeth of the shire
liveth a brave dram hobbit whom we all admireth.
with his longeth wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
that gent liveth in a hobbit-hole and ev’rybody knoweth that gent

bilbo! bilbo! bilbo baggins
that gent’s only three feet tall
bilbo! bilbo! bilbo baggins
the bravest dram hobbit of those folk all

anon hobbits art a peace-lovin’ folks thee knoweth
those gents liketh not to hie and those gents taketh things sloweth
those gents liketh not to traveleth hence from home
those gents just wanteth to consume and beest hath left high-lone
but one day bilbo wast hath asked to wend
on a big adventure to the anters below,
to holp some dwarves receiveth backeth their gold
yond wast stolen by a dragon in the days of fusty.

bilbo! bilbo! bilbo baggins
that gent’s only three feet tall
bilbo! bilbo! bilbo baggins
the bravest dram hobbit of those folk all

well that gent combated with the goblins!
that gent battl’d a troll!!
that gent riddl’d with gollum!!!
a charm ringeth that gent did steal!!!
that gent wast did chase by wolves!!
hath lost in the f’rest!!!
did escape in a barrel from the elf-king’s halls!!!
Bilbo! bilbo! bilbo baggins
the bravest dram hobbit of those folk all

anon that gent’s backeth in his hole in the landeth of the shire,
yond brave dram hobbit whom we all admireth,
just a-sittin’ on a treasure of silv’r and gold
a-puffin’ on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Nobody doest t better
maketh me feeleth depress’d for the rest
Nobody doest t half as valorous as thee
Baby, thou art the best
I wasn’t lookin’ but somehow thee hath found me
t hath tried to hide from thy love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin’ all mine secrets safe tonight
And nobody doest t better
Though oft I would someone could
Nobody doest t quite the way thee doth
Why’d thou has’t to beest so valorous?
The way that thee hold me
Whenever thee hold me
There’s some kind of magic inside thee
That keepeth me from runnin’
But just keepeth t comin’
How’d thee learneth to doth the things thee doth?
Oh, and nobody doest t better
maketh me feeleth depress’d for the rest
Nobody doest t half as valorous as thee
Baby, baby, darlin’, thou art the best
Baby thou art the best

Darlin’, thou art the best
Baby thou art the best
Oh, oh, oh…

UK homes are not the same as US homes.
So the cats that are doing the business will be owned by people very very close. Sending them to a kennel is pointless. Particularly seeing as someone is killing these poor things by feeding them anti-freeze.
It’s hardly going to add to the community spirit if you capture a cat and send it to a kennel when the person who owns it lives literally yards away from your own house, probably.

Well surely you can tell said owner to keep his/her cats off your property if he/she doesn’t comply, take it to the law?

If I knew which ones owned the cats that did it I would but I have more pressing things to do with my time than monitor my front lawn and photo a cat in action and then go door to door and ask if this chat belongs to them. I don’t have a dossier of all pets in the street. Besides I imagine being territorial it’s more than one cat owned by more than one owner so a lot of effort for very little reward.

It’s a very small crescent. The owner would probably be feet away. Which is making this whole anti-freeze poisoning thing all the more disturbing.

The Chateau is in a small crescent. The number of cats has been growing steadily over the years as well as the inevitable mess.
I’ve spent a fortune on every kind of humane deterrent going.
Now someone is poisoning the cats.
I love wildlife and I hate what cats do to it but I would never hurt a creature like that.

I have this problem at work, with people seeing suicide and suicidal thoughts as selfishness so I do sympathise. Mental illness is like any other illness or injury so blaming someone for being close to death for being mentally ill is as helpful and as compassionate as blaming a person with cancer for having a near scrape with death.

While I agree, I do think it is important for those considering suicide to realize their death would hurt more than just themselves. I mean if were to kill myself right now(and I am not considering do so) can you imagine what it would do to my mother?

It is amusing to outsiders how Americans abuse the term rest in the context of bodily functions. Sorry to hear you relatives lost their jobs in that way. Currently that wouldn’t be legal in this country but post Brexit who knows what workers rights we will lose.

Maybe I missed something, but I don’t he told us why his father and uncle lost their jobs.

While I am glad that you have the capacity to see how killing yourself would upset people who know and care about you people who complete suicide are either so ill that they cannot or in so much pain that the perceived escape from pain outweighs such considerations. Either way the person is a victim of illness and not to be blamed. If you find yourself with a suicidal person the last thing you should do is to blame them. Try and convince them to stay and seek help for the sake of a potentially happier future them by all means. It’s hopefully what everyone here would at least try.

I enjoy Aliens for what it is, but it’s barely a sequel to Alien.

barely???

In terms of tone Aliens is more in line with films like Predator and the Terminator (no surprise considering James Cameron made that one) than the first film.
Alien is filmed in a matter of fact sort of way with a more consistent visual effects quality and with superior score and a more epic looking aspect ratio. Aliens is in places very tatty (like ROTJ and Temple of Doom), it’s quotable and fun action, rather than grim cosmic horror in vein of H.P. Lovecraft or the Demeter sequences of Dracula.
The Queen is amazing in Aliens and Sigourney plays it straight but then you have balance that against possibly the most annoying child actor performance in a major motion picture (Jake Lloyd’s antics are actually more tolerable than Carrie Henn’s mostly painful line delivery… mostly and her awful screeches) and James Horner recycling his other score (kept expecting the Klingons to turn up) and John Williams’ (as the atmosphere processor goes boom you can almost see Tarkin stroking his chin).
I like Aliens but it’s a very different film and yes barely feels like a sequel.

If you say so… * sigh *

Whatever

Adywan, I just saw Rogue One for a second time, and I noticed that the X-Wing engines are pink, while ANH Revisited has them red. Also in ANH Revisited, I noticed that before Vader’s duel with Obi-Wan, the sound effect of his lightsaber turning on is not the “hissing” sound it usually has. Could you please fix them?

I’m not sure if that’s down to using the ‘restorations’ as templates rather than it being the original or superior colour choice.

Over Christmas I had a rather disturbing nightmare.
In the dream I’m sitting down with my sister to watch ‘Christmas television’.
I turn a channel and there is this rather freaky show where people wrapped in clear plastic like Laura Palmer but wiggling around and people were hitting them with cricket bats and sticks.
Horrified I turn the television off and apologise to my sister explaining I had no idea that the show would be like that.
She apathetically went out of the room and went back to bed (which was in some ways the worst part of the dream).
