from the chippy

What does that mean?

sorry mate - from the chip shop, or to be more accurate, the fish and chip shop 😃

(a few people cook them in their own home ovens - or friers - but it’s not the same…

Thankfully the humble chippy is still on most high streets or near corner pubs - a bastion eating establishment for the inebriated - come the weekend (or weeknights) - for it’s quick service, cheap and filling food - covered in an array of condiments of your choosing (or just salt n’ vinegar) 😃

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is pushing hard to drop the Russia thing not because they’ll find anything, but because it’s embarrassing. Every step he takes to get rid of it makes him look guilty, but it could just be his ego.

He’s trying to keep the hooker-piss thing from being proven. That’s his whole angle.

The Israelis don’t like being pissed on by the Russians - more so if the piss has been supplied by Trump.

No hookers required (this time)…

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) on Wednesday said reports that President Trump pressed ousted FBI Director James Comey to end an investigation would merit impeachment if true, becoming the first Republican lawmaker to broach the idea.

The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Trump tried to pressure Comey to stop investigating former national security adviser Michael Flynn, citing a memo written by Comey.

Asked by The Hill if the details in the memo would merit impeachment if they’re true, Amash replied: “Yes.”

“But everybody gets a fair trial in this country,” Amash added as he left a House GOP conference meeting.

Asked by another reporter whether he trusted Comey’s word or Trump’s, Amash said: “I think it’s pretty clear I have more confidence in Director Comey.”

Republicans beginning to turn (or at least voicing their concerns)?

This is the issue with the two party system. It forces every individual to choose a side when in reality, each of us has our own set of complex ideals, opinions, and morals. We should treat someone as an individual rather than a Democrat or a Republican.

Completely agree mate.

On a slight tangent, those in power have eroded the power of our vote over the years - in many places around the world. A PR (proportional representation) voting system would sure give each and every voter a more democratic say on who, we the public, elect - and ensure politicians have to campaign for everyone, everywhere - and not just doing it in, and spending money on, ‘swing states’ or ‘heartland areas’.

A ‘third way’ (and 4th, 5th, 6th etc 😃) alternative would likely pop up and have the possibility of each being more prominent - and although the two main parties may not like it - and would likely resist it - it is a more democratic, a fairer, and a system that would likely encourage and appeal to more of the public than the two-party systems in place we have now^.

^ not that PR is an ideal or perfect system - any system will have it’s flaws.

It seems some of you don’t get the point of this edit… Have you read the first post ? If you love the theatrical cut I don’t understand why you would want to watch an edit of it. The Cassian character is a catastrophe, glad he’s been radically cut down here. All his lines and especially his speech are so boring and embarrassing…

I found the point of the Edit just fine, thanks - and thought it to be an intriguing concept.

I’m looking forward to watching the Adywan Edit of Empire - it doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the theatrical version of Empire, does it?

Or if one day we get a fan edit of Rogue One with some deleted/cut/pre-reshoot scenes in it - it doesn’t necessarily detract from the theatrical version - it’d just different. Maybe better, maybe worse, maybe similar - though that’s up to the viewer, no?

Your ‘Cassian character is a catastrophe’ opinion is just that - your opinion, not fact, and we all have our own opinions - some of us are without the need to endlessly repeat them though…

 

I look forward to watching some future Edits from eldusto84, and thanks to his post and previous Edits got to see the really enjoyable version of The Hobbit. Nice one eldusto84 - keep up the great work 😃

The good news about this whole Mensch/Taylor thing is that either they found something huge or we’ll never hear any more predictions from them again. Their entire credibility is riding on this call.

What/who?

I think Tyrphanax may be referring to this news (apologies if incorrect):-

I don’t think Louise Mensch has much credibility to begin with mate - though on this occasion, I hope she is proven correct.

(and I’d still like to not hear from her again either way 😉)
