@macgenie Me too. I found that scene oddly moving and it has stuck with me.

@jack I was thinking about this film just yesterday in the context of a quote I might use today. I love everything about it: the characters, the music, the cuts (retrospectively reminds me of Edgar Wright’s work), the humour, everything. It is completely over the top in a very life-affirming way.
@BestofTimes Interesting - I hadn’t thought about it like that.
@jeremycherfas I love that one too.
@bsag I had to truncate Darwin there a bit as he was never one for a compact statement 😉. I’ve always loved that phrase “beautiful ramifications” though. For me, biology is the science of investigating life’s beautiful ramifications.
@cn @helgeg Translation is such an amazing art. Keeping the tone and feel of something must be hard. I think these books would be a really fun way to learn a new language though!
@helgeg They reward re-reading as an adult, not just for comfort but because you find some quite profound things.
@bitdepth The Dude, swinging his tool belt in the Busby Berkeley/Wagner dream sequence never fails to make me laugh 😂. Just thinking about it cheers me up. The cuts are just perfect in this film 👌. Also, it is the reason Mr B and I have a White Russian every Friday. 🍸🍸
@bitdepth One of my favourite films ever. I rewatch it regularly and always find something new to enjoy. A classic. 🌟🌟🌟
@jack Do it! It’s fun and a really cheap way to get a pretty high quality endpoint.
@alans I probably will. Mine is headless, but I’m thinking about trying a 7” pi touchscreen with it too, for control and display.
@Burk I just built my first Raspberry Pi project yesterday - a DAC/Roon endpoint to play music in my office through my powered speakers. It sounds great!
@ricky 🤣 No, but I will now!
@gpittman That must be lovely!
@jeremycherfas Actually, there is the first of a series of broadcasts they are doing instead, starting tonight. This one is open to everyone, and they have some just for former ticket holders starting next week.
@jeremycherfas I have, it’s wonderful. I was also booked to go on a Singing with Nightingales night featuring Sam Lee this weekend but of course it is cancelled.
@vanessa It was! A lovely chance conjunction.
@dejus Paladin is an incredibly handsome chap!
@hollyhoneychurch I love a blackbird too - mellow jazz 😎
@johnjohnston Thank you!
@hollyhoneychurch Blackbirds are my absolute favourite ❤️
@jeremycherfas That sounds lovely. My local walk goes through a scrubby but surprisingly wildlife-filled bit of land with a stream through it. It’s not really a park but has a bit of Sustrans route through it. No end of birds there at the moment.
@jeremycherfas @wfm Thank you ☺️. Listening to birds on my daily walk has become the secret joy of the lockdown for me.
@crossingthethreshold What a fabulous photo! Great contrast and colour.
