"What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"

oops.

Wrong meeting.

yet rooks form a, well, rookery. a Parliament. Jackdaws form very large roosts.

the beak on a Hoodie looks more like a Magpie beak, maybe that's the similarity for me

 

[orangecurious]

what's magpie in Danish?

what's magpie in Danish?

Magpie in Danish is "skade", which also means damage or injury.

 

[orangecurious]

oddly, their name comes from chattering women... Mags - a common old english name for generic women. The pie bit comes from pointy - probably the tail. The term pied for something black and white then comes from the bird.

Maybe they should do personal injury claims?

I was way too young when I read the book, and tried to watch the film.. now I just cannot stand sitting still, looking at a screen.. Watching people say some rehearsed lines.. it is just.. well, it gives me a strange kind of uncanny valley feeling, it is rather uncomfortable.

So, I have not seen any film for years.. except when my daughters have forced me to sit with them.
But on my own? Ugh.. more than a decade since I just sat and enjoyed a film.

Yup, I am a bit strange.

I cannot watch a movie anymore. I have gotten quite impatient as I get older. I prefer magazine articles to books these days and mini-series over feature films.

I am strange too!!

Just a quick “me too” - binged The Night Manager series 1 this last week to catch up for series 2. See also: Watson, Grand Designs and Grantchester…Stranger Things, strangely enough…

I am strange too!!

You’ve always been lovely, to me, Anastasia. That’s a better word for you.

Hugs and good evening you lovely people

Almost half way there

 

[PotNoodle79]

I love films.
But...
A two hour film can take me 3 hours to pick and 3 and a half hours to watch. I get distracted, restless etc.
Weirdly, in the cinema I'm usually ok, but I tend to reserve cinema trips for something I am seriously excited about (usually nerdy special effects laden nonsense).

I went to see 'a Christmas Carol Goes Wrong' at the Apollo. Was so funny.
