The NEW UK Kink Thread

[LucyBee01]

Hi everyone!! Sun's out, sky is blue; even the wind seems warm . Downside is that I'm stuck in here, this project is down to one wheel left on the wagon, and I'm heading for the cliff with arrows in my hat . Upside is that there really isn't much else that could go wrong

Gosh, hope you don't go over the cliff!
It is soooo sunny and warm! Love it Meeting a friendly local kinkster for drinks and catch up tonight. And it's Friday tomorrow

I have noticed film four are having a 'love and sex season' starting tomorrow. I am not sure yet what they are showing as part of this, but for Duke of Burgundy, which I just saw advertised as the late film on Thursday night. I heard of this film here, I think through Seela, and it's a beautiful bdsm film, stunning to watch, I recommend it.

My wife and I watched "The Duke of Burgundy" last night. I had imagined that it was going to be arty and difficult to follow, but the plot is very straightforward; the rest of the film is the style that surrounds it. It's specifically about a D/s relationship (rather than S/M as misleadingly implied by some trailers) and the strains imposed on it by aging and jadedness -- that's it, really! There are also a lot of butterlies (both literally and as a repeated metaphor that gets stretched close to breaking point).

The film worked for me in that I understood and sympathised with the lead characters, but I'm not sure that I'd gain a lot more from watching it again.

Thanks for the review MF! You could post that in the Movies thread too
Master and I just watched The Secretary together. Love that film.

Getting the popcorn ready now for Eurovision

I think it's also about people, and misconceptions, and The danger of judging a relationship from how you perceive it from first chance or outside because dynamics can be deceptive and how wants can be draining on love....

Yes, I picked up those points too! I found them both excellent reminders that D/s isn't a simple dynamic to put into practice (although the thesis of the film probably extends more widely to love in general).

Is it just me who cannot bear to watch Eurovision?? I think everyone I follow on Twitter is posting about it.

I'm glad everyone was safe, and I'm sorry for everyone who was inconvenienced and disappointed....but I'm even more glad that I don't work for the security firm who accidentally left that fake bomb at Old Trafford....

Its surprising how often this happens... though rarely to such a high-profile level. There's stories out there of people planting packs of real (though not live) explosives in places for sniffer dogs to find and then forgetting where they are when the dogs fail to sniff them.

That's shocking but funny at the same time! Do we let people loose with explosives who can't manage to write themselves a treasure map where x's mark the spots?!!

Knowing some of the military, quite possible

To be fair though most of the engineers Ive met who handled explosives were very switched on!!

Ok Liz, do I cut the red wire or the blue wire?"
"Ok John, carefully roll the device into its side and you should see an off button, just delicately press that."
" 'Side' isn't a colour I'm aware of Liz. Put that on a colour chart for me."
"No, I mean literally all you need to do is roll it and press the off button."
"Liz, in bomb school that you either cut the red or the blue wire. That's obviously a diversion."

I'm wondering what a fake one looks like. If I designed it, there would be a big bright display on the front showing a ticking countdown on it with accompanying beeping sounds, because that's what happens in films. Also, I'd have plenty of curly wires of different colours hanging out, for extra impact and to give the experts something to mull over.

Alternatively, I might go for the Road Runner cartoon look: big, black and spherical, with a burning fuse. Ideally, it would just cause embarrassing but harmless external charring to its victims, who would heal completely in time for the next scene.

I used to work at Wembley Stadium(the old one) it was around the time the IRA was very active, the evacuation drills were pretty scary, because we always assumed that we would be using them.

And of course there was the A5/north circ flyover bomb that Monday morning that was so close to Wembley

Hi Daisy, nice to see you around

I'm from Warrington, and well remember the bombings back in 1993, and the aftermath of them. I was supposed to have gone into town on the day of the second one, but got up late, and by the time I got there, there was total chaos and the whole place was closed off.

There does seem to be some issues about the Old Trafford fake bomb, but the important thing was that the right decisions were made at the time; everyone was kept clear, the thing didn't go off, and nobody died. Always a result in my book . What if they'd got it wrong, and it'd been a real one and had gone off? Unthinkable. All credit to those in charge who did the right thing in spite of any consequenses

Anyway, enough of this!! How's the business going?
