Re: What are you watching?

"The Secret Genius of Modern Life" with Hannah Fry. She does not take herself too seriously, so is quite a bit of fun.

A Northern bloke called "bald foodie guy" on youtube, buys something new to him every day then reviews it.

It's amazing how he buys the same thing I did, but I bought it a couple of days earlier.

I've been watching Marvels' Moon Knight on Disney+. It's quirky superhero stuff but very engaging.

A lycra warrior pulled out to pass a row of (illegally) parked cars on a left-hand bend. Right into an oncoming van. The bike went under, the rider went right over. He was up before I pulled up, already cussing about his "rights" and that he had a headcam.

The van driver started filming and asked for insurance details. It was getting hot, so I reversed and got out of there. I had the van's reg, so I called 101 and gave my details as a witness.

A fire tender pulled out just after I passed the fire station. I turned right, it turned right. I turned right again, it turned right again. Then I turned right into the ALDI car park and it followed me!

ALDI had been evacuated due to a small roof fire in an extension being built.

The car park containing Aldi and B&M has an 18" high step-over fence around it. It gets pulled down by local yobs as it blocks their getaway route from any police pursuit.

I was walking towards it, when 3 youths appeared on fast Ebikes. One got off and chopped the fence up with an electric chainsaw. Then they all sped off.

Part 2 of BBC4's "The South Pacific". I learned so much.

It took 5 suggested scifi films until I found one worth watching.

I watched "Nobody". It's a slow burner, then goes full throttle.

The final touches are being made to the hi-rise flats we used to live in. The overcladding has a brown brick pattern, and the balcony railings are now much higher (from the original 40" to 55"). But the balconies are now just 16" deep instead of the previous 32", and the doors out to them have "FIRE EXIT" signs on them! 

And the window boxes have been removed!

Mammoth, a gentle comedy series about a Welsh P.E. teacher who was revived after decades buried under an avalanche.

A little car came racing towards me as I left Aldi. Then it shot right into a spare parking slot. BANG! And the car took off without even a pause.

People rushed to the car to find an elderly lady well-shocked, and her driver's door flat against the front wing.

A guy took details of those who had seen it close up (me included) and another guy said that he had it all on his dashcam.

I settled down to watch Tom Hanks in "Angels and Demons". Tivo said it was 4.5 hours long, but it was only 2 hous.

Orphan black. But I'm not really watching. I've seen it before just wanted some background noise

The Red Arrows flew past on their way to Swansea Air Show. One did a smoky barrel roll.
