Eddie Kingston's alternative attire best be the gasoline and blood soaked attire from Double or Nothing 2022.

Well I found it at last and have given it a better place to stand. Wanted to snap a photo of it for the thread. Remember him making this at one of the mental health craft groups back in the day. Guess he had some happy time's in life, and he really did love football back then.

As much as I love Bernthal as The Punisher. He's just great in that role, and can add the human emotional touch to Frank Castle. I enjoyed the one starring Stevenson more than I should, and well worth a watch for something different. Would kind of liked to have seen a sequel to that. He was a good actor in a lot of his roles. No age really. Thoughts are with his family.

It was actually a good article on the stadium. It made it look, and sound a lot cooler than it is. Because it's a shit hole really. Guess it just has a charm to it with the way it is. Well really because of how unusual it is. Good luck to either Luton or Coventry. Should be a good game with some passionate fan's. I just find it hilarious my old and yet still favorite team Sunderland cost my now current favorite team Blackburn Rovers a chance in these Play Offs. Hopefully next season.

They've provided a lot of upsets to the usual top performing team's. Which surprised me. If they can make sure to win those game's they've lost this season and should have won. Who knows how high they could go. Would say while a strange season. It's one of interest for sure at Brighton. 6th isn't too bad. Considering I would have put them to be lower in the table at the start of the season.

I'm still yet to pack anything decent. But have hardly put much time back into FUT. I've been done with it since the World Cup. Although have been playing Career Mode and Exhibition. Did unlock the Frank Lampard card today though on FUT.

Gutted to miss the play off with other results. But a great game. Spent it at the pub with Mum, and my lady friend. Nice meal. Good company and football.

Watched Prescription Murder. The 1st pilot episode of Columbo, before the first series episode of 'Murder By The Book' after another TV pilot of "Death Lends a Hand". This is the better of those early two episode's produced. The TV Pilot movie is something else. Often enjoy a rewatch before I work back into the Columbo watch along happening soon. Always manage to notice news thing's about it, appreciate the earlier character version of Columbo, and how it was filmed. There's a great opening title sequence.

This reminds me about thinking recently on Zippy from Rainbow. Roy Skelton added a lot of charm, character and fun to Zippy and George, not to mention the work he did on Doctor Who over his career. However understandable the recast is with his death. The character has just hardly felt the same on the fleeting small moments he might pop up on TV these day's. A lot of that is down to how different he sound's to me, since I'm used to Skelton. Unfortunately I guess some character's will always lose their unique way in a recast, especially when we are used to certain people providing that voice. One recast I'm always pleased with, is how a lot of the classic cartoon character's that have always been around, still sound not a day of tune. Be if Daffy, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Mickey, Goofy and Donald. They all manage to really still feel the same character, even with a different voice actor. This used to escape me as a child. Now I find myself being able to notice if the voice isn't the one I know, or it seems changed from before. I'm happy the voice cast in a few places has changed for actual heritage and background to be better represented by someone who can do that, most of all who should be filling those roles. As the industry changes for the better, hopefully, the day's of non suitable act's are thing's of the past, and being replaced by proper representation of background, heritage, race and nationality. I'm often pleased that some shows change how the formula used to be with actors playing roles not suitable for them shall we say.

@Your Momis The Big Sleep with Bogart and Baccall next on the watch list? You'll probably enjoy it. Had a lot more questions than answers with the plot in that one. Although it did get me into the work of Raymond Chandler the author of the novel it is based on. The performances, and filming are what make it really stand out. So yeah the story is not the best, it's the settings and performance that are the true beauty about it all. Bogart and Baccall are electric chemistry in the gritty setting of Chandler's Private Eye Phillip Marlowe. They went on to marry, and star in a further two film's together. Key Largo is the one that I can remember being the better out of their return to starring together. Have you thought of checking Bogart in his earlier work with James Cagney?! The Pre Code films always go the same way with them both, due to how it had to be back then with the person usually getting what is coming them. But it's interesting to check out Bogart earlier in his career in these, and appreciate the art and acting of him and Cagney. The Roaring Twenties and Angels With Dirty Faces are the two they appear in. Shockingly I'm surprised Cagney survived filming those movies with the live bullets and stories of near misses with gun work on those early shoots. I love a lot of old back and white films. Sadly. I don't think a lot of them would be considered classic. Ed Wood does spring to mind on some of the many interests I have. Plus the B Movies that they might be considered. Along with Universal Horror to Hammer Horror/Amicus. Most of the fun I have thought is researching into them. Often enjoy the 30s to 60s Black and White films filmed and set in England. There's often a few gems I've come across. Tread Softly Stranger, Man In The Attic, The 39 Steps, The Night Has Eyes and Brighton Rock.

I solved the problem of the 'Blight' I started a new game. New camp. Same hard time's. Although I am much more into this base now, and the people. Plus been managing to help out other society's. Making friends is fun. Think starting and restarting is never a bad thing. It's quite a fun game. Building up the initial campsite, setting it all up and making the right research choices. As many time's as I have had to do it. Nothing about the game is getting old. The music is very fun. Although it did not solve the Blight. As we have another infestation and nest never the camp. I'm solving it slowly. It is surrounded by a guard post. Usually with around 4 guards to deal with anything that might like to say hello to a colonisit or two.

At least it would seem that none of us quit in rage, or smash something up. I often find that amusing, or in some sense understandable. Games guides, Walk-throughs and YouTube Videos on the problem I'm stuck at, or at least a guide and tip video. Broken Sword's Goat puzzle was the last one I can remember being stuck on, and this was before the day's of a trusty mobile phone. Printing out a walk through guide at the Library was how that was solved. Aged 15. Can fully remember how it was always a cool logo at the head of the page. I often wonder how long it took them to make those with the keyboard back in the day.

Moment of madness in a must win with City over Spurs. So this is a reminder to me when playing Fifa. Don't slide in with Haaland. Instant red card. Tbf it was a moment of madness. Keeper slipped the ball and I tackled him to see what would happen. Yeah red card. 🤣😂 We still won 2-0. Shockingly it was Haaland with a beauty from a Grealish assist in the first half. It came down to about ten minutes to go at ten men. We scrapped a penalty mostly due to hand ball. Kane had an awful game.

On first playing 2 for the PS1. Very new to the game. Pretty much ignored any advice, and went around randomly shooting guns for fun with Leon. This resulted in zero ammunition left to loot before the final boss of the first part. I ended up having to take it down with knife attacks and keep running. I effectively made part 2 with Claire impossible to do. I think 2 still stands out as a favorite game memory. Although I enjoyed 1 because of the cool creepy old mansion setting. Mostly fond memories of most of the original core game's, and character's. 1 just for the setting alone, the music and overall factor of it I still enjoy. The Shark scene was one I did enjoy more in the remake, but the music was on point for that underwater lab part in the original. Memories of Wesker shooting at some bee's, strange skinned apes, a giant snake, Jill sandwiches and "Wow, What a Mansion."

Ah. I used to watch him weekdays if I was ever home during the 90s, along with late night repeats at time's. To think Vince Russo wrote most episode's of RAW with Jerry Springer on in the background at the time, it still makes me chuckle to think about that, and how it influenced thing's at the time. RIP Jerry.

Scouted some more of the homebase. We kept having blight attacks. As I guess over time the DLC makes it more aggressive. We've lost four member's to it. There's no way of saving them once they get infected, you then have to put them down when they become crazy. Anyway. We've got a bloody hive or three near the camp. Until I research and build up the safety, decontamination and pollution movement section. Then I can start to make it safer around the camp. I hate the blight. Bloody fungal infection. As if the aftermath isn't hard enough. Winter storms, bandits, attacks, radiation, pollution, falling satellites and the moon. Radiation storms to pandemics. We have had it all so far.

Yesterday I uttered "Oh dear" at Spurs. Today I seem to be saying it again.

Just seen the score at Newcastle.

Oh. I'm not having the best time's surving the aftermath. A lot of issues in the colony. We've managed to set up a couple of water wells, along with two water captures down at the lake near the colony. There's a fishing pier we've built down there, to fish for the food source. We've also got two trappers, so that is a source of meat and fibre. Upgraded both of the trappers to make them Hunting Lodges. We've also got quite a bit of meat from wild animals, and any blighted animals that come in. We've got six fields of fertile soil to try and grow what we can do. Medical Tents we've got about five of them. We've managed to research medical knowledge, it is helping to fix patients more easily. Shelter. A couple of tents that we've improved, and some mental/wood shanty building's. Scrappers are bringing in wood, metal and plastics. Eventually it will be concrete. Upgraded the scavenger side of thing's. It's been stressful. A winter storm came, and unfortunately was not prepared for it. The burners had not been built. So we lost about 5 people to the cold, 3 to infections and 2 blighted people, old age had also manage to take 4 colonists. A local warlord came to the gate, they demanded the pieces of fallen moon that had crashed landed near us. I gave them 20 pieces to get rid of them, for now. I'm going to eventually kill them. They said they would be back, so we've been building defence for those pricks out in the wasteland. I think this is my longest game so far, and the most fun, even if tough at time's. Had a sense of achievement in building it all up.

New colony, and colonists. First four day's into founding Hope Springs. We had collection of wood, food and plastics. Basic shelter of tents. Two colonists became irradiated. Began to quick build a medical tent. The Mother made it to the tent, unfortunately it was a burial pit her child needed. Worse yet. The game bugged out where her notification of death, and body remain on the map. Which is not good because dead bodies spread more issue's around the camp. Maybe time to start over.

Ah such a shame. Yeovil always was a fun little team to watch at time's. I hope they can sort themselves out. Would hate another club to go under. So many little club's I used to love just going under. Darlington was a blow many year's ago. Rushden and Diamonds. Gretna I had a love for in Scotland for many season's, along with East Stirling. Thankfully I think East Sterling are still going.

Not all at once. The episodes are very quick. About 30 minutes in length. Sometimes an hour. It depends if you get the episodes under the Medical Detectives banner, or it to be called Forensic Files. Effectively it's the same show.
