So do we, to get them you subscribe to the (printed) TV Guide. That's what Mother Neb does.

 

Could you maybe ask Mother Neb what films were playing on 3 Saturday evening?

Will inquire... are you in a hurry? The reply is likely to be "Ah, the TV Guide... I'm sure I had it around here somewhere... no, that looks like last week's one... I know I had it yesterday...".

Now that you've been reminded of the name of the movie you watched, I expect a full review of whichever one it was in the appropriate thread.

Anti-vaxxers. 

 

Seeing that ignorant bunch of fools at Auckland Museum in the weekend really ground my gears. 

 

Meanwhile, My youngest son and I have beaten our needle-phobia and had our first round of vaccine, despite the anxiety and anguish that it caused leading up to the event. 

 

They have NO EXCUSE. fine them. All of them. And lock that bloody ringleader up, for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because he's dangerous.

More importantly. Did it live up to expectations? Are you going back for your second shot? 👍

We are both most definitely going to go back for a second shot in 6 weeks' time. The 5G signal is off the charts! and i don't even need Windows anymore - the Microsoft chip in the vaccine has me writing this with my mind.

Fantastic. With the second dose you won't need a phone anymore either. 😎

 

How was the needle experience? Hope that wasn't too traumatic for you.

Any article with the words "What you need to know" in the title.

I'll be the judge of what I need to know, thank you.

What's worse the person writing that article very often has NFI about what anyone needs to know. They just have an inflated opinion about what they think they know that you need to know.

Even worse is any video with "You won't believe what ..." in the title. Thinking of writing a browser plugin that, when it finds those words on any video web site, replaces them with "You can't imagine how much you don't want to watch this rubbish".

Yes. Agreed. Just because you managed to cut and paste a press release under your byline doesn't mean you actually have subject expertise!
