‘Extreme weather is the UK’s new normal, says Met Office’

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74w1gyd7mko
 

 
'The UK is breaking heat and rainfall records increasingly frequently as its climate continues to warm, the Met Office has warned.

The country’s changing weather patterns mean the UK now experiences a “notably different” climate to what it was just a few decades ago, its State of the UK Climate report says.

We now have many more very hot days and many fewer extremely cold nights, according to this latest assessment.

It shows just how much global warming caused by the vast emissions of greenhouse gases our civilisation creates is reshaping the country’s climate.

Climate change is bringing more severe weather events like storms and flooding - and inevitably the country’s changing climate is having an impact on the natural world, with some species suffering.

The report focuses on 2024, when the UK experienced its second warmest February, warmest May, warmest spring, fifth warmest December, and fifth warmest winter since records began in 1884.

The Met Office highlights that some of these records have already been surpassed in 2025 - more evidence of this trend towards more extreme weather.

This summer many parts of the country are in the throes of their third heatwave with very warm weather reaching into Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland as well as southern England.

The first hosepipe ban of the year was imposed in Yorkshire last week following England’s warmest June on record, which came after the country’s driest and sunniest spring for 132 years.

Yorkshire and the north west of England were declared in official drought by the Environment Agency in June. At least one region is expected to be added to the list when the UK’s National Drought Group meets on Tuesday.

Mike Kendon, a Met Office climate scientist and lead author of the State of the UK Climate report, said: "Every year that goes by is another upward step on the warming trajectory our climate is on.

“Observations show that our climate in the UK is now notably different to what it was just a few decades ago.”’

Have you tried looking over at TFN…? 😉

Mocata said:

Oh I bet they love us over there.

Been there. I see generally criticism of Lucas’ writing choices as well as other things. Even though the majority seems to err on the side that Lucas was a stronger creative than all of the ST writers. Which is a sentiment I think moreso similarly on.

Yeah, I think Mocata was being somewhat sardonic or flippant - given TFN’s history of treating Original Trilogy fans… poorly:-

2️⃣ Ⓓ • Other websites / communities supposed issues with OT•com, the Original Trilogy, or the unaltered theatrical cuts

 
Of course TFN would seemingly have that majority view… as the likes of Kasdan, Huyck, Katz and others who contributed to the OT are often overlooked or glossed over by many on there - despite being stronger creative writers than those of the ST… and also than George and Hales for the PT. Yet it is baffling that many forget, or neglect to mention, the above contributors.

Though fair play to George when it comes to his writing - he does admit: “I bleed on the page, and it’s just awful…”

Unknown Release Dates for…

Dawn Of The Jedi | theatrical film

^ and there’ll probably be another ‘Tales Of The ?’ animated-shorts series somewhere. Plus more ‘Lego Star Wars’ content etc.

As well as the rumoured Star Wars live action series by Carlton Cuse (not officially announced - though reported by THR).

Tony Gilroy mentioned a ‘Star Wars Horror Movie Is “In the Works”’ - in an interview with Collider. Taika Waititi’s film, maybe?

Henry Dunant
 

 
'Henry Dunant won the very first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.

Passing through Solferino, Italy, during the Second Italian War of Independence, Dunant was appalled at the suffering that he saw. In 1862, he published a book, A Memory of Solferino, which described the efforts that were being made to care for the wounded at the scene. He also proposed a plan.

Dunant suggested the nations of the world should form their own relief societies to care for the wounded and train volunteers on the best ways to treat them. He also wanted the governments of the world to guarantee that wounded soldiers would be treated and that those treating them would be guaranteed safe passage.

Dunant traveled all over Europe promoting his plan, and on August 22, 1864, 12 nations signed the first Geneva Convention, agreeing to “guarantee neutrality to sanitary personnel, to expedite supplies for their use, and to adopt a special identifying emblem—in virtually all instances a red cross on a field of white.”

Henry Dunant had helped to bring about the first Geneva Convention, which has saved the lives of thousands of soldiers around the world. He also founded the Red Cross.’

No - you’re clearly wanting and expecting others to do the work for you.

Send me a link in the comments when each episode is uncut and done completely.

Have you fixed the end credits music?

Just stop.

Stop with the inane questions, especially to people you know are no longer around the site, so cannot answer them.

Stop with the numerous project threads where you expect others to do the actual work for you.

Stop with posting links to full downloads of copyrighted material on here.

Stop with asking if it is okay you take others’ work from here - and then sell it on etsy.
 

Grow up - or go find somewhere else to ‘troll’.
 

Amazing - loving that ‘laserdisc rental’ logo!
 

You are knocking these laserdisc preservations out of the park with all these rare releases - all credit and kudos to you, enater. Some of us weren’t ever sure we’d see this rare and oft-talked about release again. 👍

Kenneth Colley, Star Wars actor, dies at 87

The British actor was best known for playing Admiral Piett in the original “Star Wars” series.

'Kenneth Colley, the British actor known for his role as Admiral Firmus Piett in the original Star Wars trilogy, died on Monday. He was 87.

Colley’s agent, Julian Owens, confirmed the actor’s death to Entertainment Weekly on Thursday, sharing that the actor died peacefully at his home on June 30 with friends at his bedside in Ashford, Kent. Colley had been admitted to a hospital with an injured arm after a fall, but he quickly contracted Covid, which developed into pneumonia.

“Ken Colley was one of our finest character actors with a career spanning 60 years,” Owens said in an emailed statement. “Ken continually worked on stage, film, and television playing a vast array of characters, from Jesus in Monty Python’s Life of Brian to evil and eccentric characters in Ken Russell films, and the Duke of Vienna in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure for the BBC.”

Colley’s favorite part was Estragon in the 2014 production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at the Cockpit Theatre in London, the statement added.

Owens also shared a tribute in honor of Colley from the Alliance Agents Facebook page.

“Ken loved attending conventions and meeting the fans,” the tribute reads, in part. “He travelled all over the World yet could never quite grasp why everyone wanted his autograph. He was a very humble man with an incredibly dry wit.”

It continued, “Ken loved his garden, art, cars and the occasional Porn Star Martini. His wife Mary died several years ago, since then he has been looked after by his friend Lynn. Ken lived in Hythe in Kent.”

Concluding the tribute, Owens wrote, “It has been a pleasure representing Ken over the years. He wasn’t just a client, but also a friend.”’

Thanks for all the kind words about my old “Millennium” upscales. I’d still be here sharing and contributing, but someone decided to take those encodes - that were meant for fans of the show - and sell Blu-Rays on Ebay. While I enjoy upscaling things that will never get an HD release, and have upscaled dozens of series since, I hate that there are greedy people who take something meant to be shared and try to profit off it.

Cheers to the good people here. I know you outnumber the bad ones.

TVA

That is really sad to read, mate. That people would look to profit from others’ work and also endanger those projects and the larger community. Yes, it has been happening for years… yet still always disappointing to find out it still goes on.

I’d suggest to only share links with long-standing and trusted members of the community - with a request not to share the links with anyone else - if only to try and diminish the chances of these assholes getting access and profiting from and endangering the work that takes place on here.

Yet the other option, as I see it, is to continue to offer links to your projects… and don’t let these idiot assholes on ebay ‘win’. They’d like nothing better for project creators to withdraw their projects - so they can increase their profits by being ‘the only player in the game’, as it were. (It is easy to say that, I know.)
 

If you see a redditor or youtuber etc linking or talking about your project being for sale - you let them know they were made to be freely available (and still are) - and that person selling them has stolen your project and profiting from them.

eBay too - they will take them down if reported, they may soon spring up again, but they will act (albeit a thankless, tiresome and repetitive task - a few of us here did just that… and we saw a 6 month period where there were no ebay or etsy ales of Despecialized, 4K77, or adywan’s projects, etc - including takedowns of every online site advertising selling copies - bar one site).

Also, if you have any suspicions on who may be the person selling your work online - let the moderators on here know.
 

All the best with whatever you decide, TVArchive. 👍
 

As you say… and hopefully take some solace and joy from… the number of people on here you’ve made happy from your projects - which vastly outweighs these asshole thieves & sellers.

Leia remembering her mother. Obi-Wan’s teacher being Yoda. No mention of Qui-Gon. Anakin was supposed to be a good friend and star pilot. Who was slowly seduced to evil. There was no learn the dark side to save Padme.

Those bother me.

And i know you covered them.

Yeah, much of what you mention above are the things many fans had been looking to seeing in the Prequels… and yet there was little-to-nothing there - or simply contradicted those statements in the OT.

Or what we had learnt from the official EU material and various releases - with snippets of extra information over the years…

Mocata said:

True, however, I think that quote is simply being used as a bullet point heading. In 1977 Vader was not Anakin so the problem is a post ESB one. Obi-wan isn’t shocked to see his friend on the Death Star because his old pupil was always just Darth Vader. Once he’s changed to be Luke’s father in 1980 there are more gaps to fill. Obviously there have been further retcons since and they meet in a TV series.

I thought I’d replied to your post - though obviously didn’t (apologies!)…

Yeah, you’re spot on - it was just a bullet-point. With a nod in the main text to Vader being a pupil of Kenobi’s - before the later retcons.

I think #15 was meant to be a contrast to #14 (sort of a two-part category) - though never got around to finishing it. Oh, well. 👍
