Yeah, my knee-jerk reaction when I first saw one of the women. I googled it later and saw I was wrong there. The film looks good though.

SPECIFICS - YOU VARMINT

I saw Capella on one of the sites, Vic, but I didn't think it was that. I may have been wrong. I, too, have problems with light pollution, that and the fact I live in a cul-de-sac.

Thanks for confirming it, Vic. There was also a bright star (object) to the right of the moon, lower down, and I don't know what that was. To be honest there are not that many good night sky astronomy sites about, very frustrating. The clouds have obscured everything here, so i can't see anything either.

Thursday November 1 2012 (8. 30 pm) Are there any astronomers out there. We have a beautiful moon to the east and a bright planet to the left of it. I think it is Jupiter but I am not sure. I am interested in astronomy but just getting started. Please help.

OKAY VARMINTS, TAKE A SQUINT AT THESE CRITTERS WHAT'S THE CONNECTION - SPECIFIC MIND YOU

Just checked up on Google Malcolm - I'm right, yeehah. Where's MY prize. A weekend of lust and passion with Kylie will do...throw in some sanatogen and make it a fortnight.

Catherine Zeta Jones is in there, methinks, and I've gone through my list of witches - Maggie Thatcher, Cherie Blair, etc, but the Wicked Witch of the West looks to me like Rachel Weisz. (Maybe wrong) The film looks good.

I put that one in especially for you Merc'.

COME ON MERC' - NAME THE FILM!!!!!

HERE IS A QUICKIE TO GET A LONG WITH. NAME THE FILM.

Can a quizmaster not have FIVE minutes to himself!!!! Here I am in the middle of major disruption - my shower went in today - but my washing is Donald Ducked. I'm cold and hungry and there's nothing in the pantry except hungry mice. I've had a handful of cat litterl for my breakfast...rant rant....rave rave. Okay you got it, CLOCKWORK ORANGE and here is me thinking it would take you a month of whatsits to get it. Five Graves to Cairo, Seven Bitches for Seven Bros, and Five Easy Pieces, which gives you 17 which gives you Heaven 17 who took their name from Anthony Burgess' Clockwork Orange - and not a iguana in sight. I suppose you want a prize - well it will have to wait ya boo hiss. Well done Malcolm & Merc - sounds like a vaudeville duo. Your joint prize will follow ASAP. Adios amigos.

NOW PAY ATTENTION EVERYONE. HERE IS A JOLLY NEW JAPE THAT WILL TEST YOUR MIND POWER. JUST FOLLOW THE RULES AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED. 1) Three scenes from three films - each film has a number in it's title. 2) Add the numbers up and then think of a pop group with that correct number in their name. 3) This group derived their name from a passage from a book. (Later made into a film.) WHAT IS THAT BOOK / FILM? EASY PEASY - NOW GET AT IT.

MALCOLM ROBINSON - THIS WEEKS WINNER Hallelujah praise be the Lord. As your prize for guessing all four films I am sending you back in time to the days of prohibition America. No more guzzling down Gin or bandying with Bourbon; in fact no more of any of that, you will be alcohol free for a full month. And to enforce this new regime of righteousness we are placing you with the God-fearing family of which Ma Barker is the matriarch. Helping her will be her sons, if they are out of prison that is. But fear not there are loads of Ma Barker's friends who will drop by and help you adjust; friends like Bonnie and her Beau Clyde from way down Louisiana. Then there is Uncle Al from Chicago. You can all pop down to the local Temperance Hall for some tea and muffins and indulge in a few hands of Old Maid. Many-a-time you will see bandsmen entering the basement halls carrying their violin cases with them; and often you can hear the staccato of their favourite instrument – the Chicago Piano. And as a special delight I have secured you a trip to Chicago on Valentine's day. Please do enjoy this fabulous prize; Now all together…"Let's all meet them at the river…the beautiful, the beautiful river…”

Well done, Malcolm - eventually. Enjoy the scene - it is awesome.

No Nay Never No Nay No Never No Nay.

NOPE - But you are right with Stanley Tucci.

I honestly hadn't heard of the golden rivet and I just looked it up. It must have started on HMS Bendover, did it?

OKAY, LUVVIES, YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS FOURTH SCENE. So here is another scene from the same film.

GIMME GIMME GIMME - AWESOME

I see the Bounty has sunk as Hurricane Sandy strikes the USA. I was on the Bounty when it docked at Blyth a few years ago. (I'm assuming it was the same one.) I was amazed at how small it was. It cost £5 to board and go below decks and the whole ship seemed cramped, but it was well worth it just to see what it would have been like in those days.

Throw it at them!! You have my permission to pour it forth from the heavens; unleash the Kraken, man, thunderbolts and lightning, conjure up the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, blow Gabriel's horn and bring down the walls of Jericho. Let me know when I'm overdoing it, won't you!!! It's a bit late for me now anyway, Maria is going to take me through, HOPEFULLY. but it's a hard way of doing something easy, that's the way I see it. The annoying thing is that there is better stuff at Wilkinson's and other shops!

Yeah, sorry, Malcolm, it's just very frustrating. I heard that it was a decsion made by the Peoples Committe (?), whoever they are. But why not tell everyone just to keep their receipts as proof of purchase then hand them in to the distributors!! That way we are not restricted to one store in Newcastle. It's banging your head against a brick wall time.

The problem with the shop in Newcastle is that not everyone has a car to ferry said paints and wallpaper to and from the Toon to, say, Bedlington. Now use some more electric current across the grey matter - I want ten rolls of wallpaper and five tins of emulsion-cum-gloss to decorate my humble abode. How am I going to carry all that from the Toon to Bedlington. (Bearing in mind bus drivers can stop you carrying paint on public transport). Also bear in mind we aren't even allowed to spend the vouchers at Tallantyres - a local community shop - and look how many local community shops are sinking because of lack of trade. Use the math - Bedlington people need paint and wallpaper - Tallantyres is an ideal shop - but said peopl aren't allowed to trade there. (It just don't make sense, partner.) We have Wilkinsons in Blyth and Asherton - more local stores, but we cannot buy goods there either. Sorry, Malcolm, but there is something wrong with the thinking on this one, it was a bad call on the planners part. Common sense took a bullet here.

MAY I PRESENT THE NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER...
