After a friend has recently managed to extricate herself from a third time unlucky domestic scene, I didn’t think it was the right time to quote Robert the Bruce to her.

What was his quote?
If at first you don’t succeed try try again, or something like that.
Allegedly a lesson he learned in a dungeon watching a spider trying to climb. One of those morality tales I was taught in school.

In movies, Americans never say goodbye when they’re finishing a phone call. They just hang up.

There used to be a sign up on the road leading out of Bright, one for the holiday makers.

The term for that is “Shoe Leather” as in screenwriting omits a lot of things that would happen in real life like hello, saying who you are, goodbye etc. lots of YouTube vids on it, where you never realise that’s stuff isn’t in movies until you realise.

Will take a look
The other ones that annoy me
-they remove headrests when filming in cars. Obviously better sight lines, but it looks stupid and it’s illegal/unroadworthy.
-
when there’s a huge event that they need to update the audience they’ll show it on a news broadcast ‘missing person / plane crash / end of the world’…once they get the message, the person goes and switches the tv off.

everyone in America buys groceries, with a baguette or French stick loaf sticking out of their paper bag.

Alternatively, character A will phone character B and tell them to turn on the TV and the relevant news story will be starting from the top just after the TV is switched on (always straight to the correct channel, of course!).
I should note that this bemuses more than annoys me.

Has it been updated to show other than blonde housewives doing the shopping?
What they never show is the shoppers individually paying private armed security blokes to prevent their carjacking.
What is this all about?

Friend in Atlanta assures me is safe, pays to avoid carjacking.
Mind you, when in Brasilia, I have witnessed colleagues doing similar, it’s one of the employment categories, more secure employment ( but Brazil is a developing country).
Anyone had the misfortune of catching SEN over the last few weekends (since the footy ended).
A bunch of yobbos sat around a screen and cheering their bets home.
The most indulgent, blokey, self-congratulatory bullshit you are ever likely to hear. Absolutely embarrassing. Completely amateur radio.
Totally in keeping with the standards set by everything else Fat Hutchy has turned his hand to.

When people forward your meeting invitation to other people THEY think should be in the meeting.
It’s bullshit.
If I’m having a meeting, I only need this specific group for a reason. No more no less.
