If Nov 23 was the Kennedy assassination - it would not have been on
that night. It was fairly early in the afternoon when the news
arrived in the UK and I remember all screens going to black with a
floating notice of what the news was. Later in the evening, early
morning in the USA, news came on with footage etc. It was still
delivered on film then.

The 22nd is the assassination date. In fact, the Beeb re-ran the
first episode with concerns about that data of airing.

My granddaughter was born on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. This makes it handy for remembering her birth-date.

No, not pompous. It ticks me off too when someone in order to
finalize an argument says 'everybody knows, does it, etc. Rephrase
the statement instead of wimping out with the 'everybody' thing.

So, you, like me, Jess don't need amazon. Some of us jess don't buy a
lot of crap constantly, so we jess don't need prime.

I'm sure Popeye will intervene soon, to tell us "yoose all needs to buy
amazon prime" In the navy ... blah blah blah ...

Yes, what was the name of this book? I've read most of his stuff.

My bad.... It was H G Wells who wrote The Time Machine. At any rate, the
time machine aspect of the TARDIS was not exactly an original concept at
the time that Dr Who was introduced.

The Beaufort Gazette doesn't have store ad inserts anymore. I check the
store fliers online when I'm planning a shopping trip.

I don't buy much online so a Prime membership was never worth it to me.
Apparently I don't shop for hard to find items like long shoelaces. LOL

A bit of digression: Mostly what I use Amazon for is a point of
reference. I look at items when things come up in discussion on RFC or
if someone posts a link. Oh! You mean one of *those* things.

Of course Amazon then assumes I am actually interested in [whatever] and
will show me items people who bought [whatever] *also* bought. Hey, I
just wanted to see a picture and check the price of some kitchen or
household gadget someone was raving about. Don't need a membership for
that... yet.

The first-ever episode of Dr Who was broadcast in UK at teatime on
November 23rd.

Harry Bosch is an LA detective. The show is 10 episodes but is just one
case he works on unlike the typical weekly series. It goes more in
depth with the characters. We'll watch the entire series over two days
when the weather is crappy and we don't want to go out.

Goliath is another pretty good series.

My VW has Bosch electronic parts. They are neither high quality or reliable. That's the breaks.

Much of that acting style was based on the Delsarte system. One of my
fellow students at acting school had a copy of Delsarte's manual. The
illustrations are absolutely hilarious.

That works for hard goods like diamonds. Not so much for software.

I don't want the product of my labor to be stolen any more than,
say, 20th Century Fox does. I want everybody who uses it to pay
for it.

My Bosch range is a piece of crap (considering what it cost). When
we replaced the dishwasher, my husband wouldn't even consider a Bosch.

You can't fault their diction, though. No matter how fast the patter
was, you could understand every word.

20th Century Fox says it all. That's last century.

True. Clear enunciation is sadly lacking in many of the younger crop of
actors.

Sometimes with these name brand appliances, they get worse as time goes on
instead of better, cheaply made and not made to last. I have found that to
be true with some.

As someone who suffered though a Stanislavski/method class, I hesitate
to debate or counter the demerits of either.

I have things I go there to get that I don't see anywhere else.
I like their ginger ale, they have nice bread, the kefir brand
I like, etc. I have no idea if those things are ever on sale.

I glance through the sales circular for the store where I do
most of my shopping (Costco aside). I pretty much look at the
front page where the better deals seem to be but not so much
the busy inner pages. I look to see if what I need is for sale.

It's a nice ride there for me, and I'll often combine the trip
with a stop at the recycle yard a couple of miles away. If I
needed to use public transportation it would be a place I never
went.

Very early last year, I had an accident and was off my feet for some time.
I didn't have a dishwasher .. didn't want one, but during the time I was off
my feet D got fed up of washing up and ordered a dishwasher <g>

It is a Bosch and has never given any bother. Is it likely to as it gets
older or would it have shown up by now?

I imagine that the ones sold for the U.S. market are not subject
to as stringent quality processes. It really seems to be a
crapshoot as to whether a given Bosch is wonderful or terrible.

Honestly, the only problem with my stove is that the hinges on
the oven door are faulty and the door doesn't shut properly.
We could have sent it back to the factory to be fixed, but instead
my husband fabricated a device to force the door more nearly closed.
Because the door doesn't close properly, the plastic knobs on the
front of the range have deteriorated from the heat.

Other than that, the stuff that you'd think would be really fragile,
like the controller circuit board, has been just fine.
