Good call with Uncle Buck Jah. I bet you're a bit like him aren't you ya scallywag.


Right, apart from that.


As many of you will know I've banned for the past few days but today was the last straw!


Quids.


So you like American Pie do ya. What a fool you must feel now eh. That movie was the biggest load of shite I've ever seen! Apart from the quite frankly pathetic American humour I'd like to raise one crucial point. I know horny teenagers can get up to some 'hijinks' in order to get their rocks off but sticking it in an apple pie, on the work surface. I've got a very filthy mind but if I were to even contemplate giving one of my mums Rhubarb crumbles a good seeing too I'd at least have the decency to 'do the deed' behind closed doors!


BN5 and Keef, you two should be bloody ashamed of yourselves.


Right, my turn.


What is a "feel good" film. Something to make us feel fuzzy inside or something we simply enjoy watching even though we've seen it more than ourselves in the mirror.


For me it's got to be a Spy/Crime/War/Historical thriller.


The Ipcress file.

The Hallcroft Covenant.

Boys from Brazil.

Ice station Zebra.

Marathon Man. "Iz eet safe?"

Das Boot.

City of God.

9th Company.

Etc etc etc...

Serendipity. Not cusack's best ht a long shot but he just helps make films better. The fact that Kate beckinsale is in it makes an ostensibly naf film utterly watchable.


Rachel weisz has the same effect (jude law the opposite one making the enemy at the gates a confusing experience for me).


What's the Brendan burns in a time vault thanks to crazy walken dad, gets out meets Alicia silverstone? Feel good guilty pleasure anyway.

Got a bit confused there - think you mean Brendan Fraser don't you?? Think it was "Blast From The Past" - Brendan Burns would have made it a very different film!!


Think most of my favourites have been mentioned, for the Drew Barrymore fans can I recommend "Music and Lyrics" (bit of Hugh Grant thrown in for good measure!)

Errrrmmmmm...


Excuse me but where on earth is there any evidence of rubbing anybody up the wrong way in the above post?

You just don't get it do you. Or rather I think you do.

Good call on Passport to Pimilco, watched it the other day, it is still plucky

What about 'feel better' films?


On The Buses - Makes me appreciate the fact that my family is nothing like Stan Butler's. Though I do covet the patent leather hair.


A Clockwork Orange - A near future dystopia where out of control teens embark on rampages of ultraviolence, robbery and the 'old in and out'. Viddy my lips, no thanks.


A Death In Venice - Liked the suits, but all a bit too consumptive and slightly 'noncey' for my taste.


Carry On England - A source of great comfort that I'll never watch it again.


Erazerhead - See Carry On England.


Purple Rain - Knowing that there is nothing I can ever do that will be as embarrassing as Prince's performance in this. A benchmark for toe-curling hand-wringing red facedness. Soundtrack rules however.

Moos,


I've already stated that I don't go in for the whole 'fuzzy tummy' flicks. I simply enjoyed watching it which in turn made me feel good.


I'm not trying to sound 'macho' but I simply enjoy watching movies that involve intrigue, suspense and tragedy. I don't go in for films where the plot involves self discovery or some kind of teenage road trip.


By all means call me narrow minded


I also love horror movies that disturb the viewer.

I see. But I still think you're talking about a different experience. I don't think a feelgood movie needs to be slushy. But it should leave you feeling uplifted and happy - enjoying feeling creeped out, or disturbed and thoughtful, or melancholy, or anything else, is not the same. I'm not valuing the one over the other, but I reckon you're just breaking the rules. To be macho. ;-)

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
