For as long as I can remember, it’s always been cheaper and quicker to hop on a flight to another city here in the UK, and it makes no sense financially or environmentally.
I know this is the case for a lot of other places too, but in a country as tiny as mine, it’s actually shameful.
Feels like people are slowly waking up to monopolies, but I doubt I’ll see the renationalising of railways that I feel we desperately need. -

It made me feel uncomfortable and I let them know that they had no right to give such a clear diagnosis as it was just their opinion and we hadn’t even had two sessions. I then cancelled with them and went for an actual medical diagnosis instead. This is still ongoing as there’s a huge waiting list.
Despite them potentially being correct, they crossed a line as far as I was concerned and I could no longer respect their advice or continue the sessions with them. -

I’m definitely not complaining, but that’s exactly what happened to me last year and I appear to have been claimed by her.
I did recently watch this interesting documentary about cats and found it a great help to understand how to take better care of them.

Antichrist is very brutal though, and incredibly gory. Some of the scenes are hard to watch.
But I do recommend everyone watch A Serbian Film because it’s unique in a very subversive way. I’d describe it as an action film on its face, but with a horrific plot twist.
Whereas Von Triers work is kinda artsy for arts sake at points and while totally unique, it can be hard to grasp what’s actually happening and far more open to interpretation.
A Serbian Film is very much rammed down your throat and not very ambiguous at all. Still thought provoking and interesting in what the limits of cinema should be.

I’d love for them to make a video game in that style.
“We’ve got to collectivisize!!”
“But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!”
I’ve seen it so many times and realise a new silly thing every time.
“I threw that shit before I even came into the room” always cracks me up without fail.
I heard a while back they’re making a sequel, so hope it’s true and it delivers as much as the first!
Isn’t the demand also related to the price? If flights are cheaper, they’ll be in higher demand as a result, no?
