Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026To quote Garth Merenghi " I portended that by the year 2040, the world might see its first female mechanic. And who knows, she might even do a decent job" 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oh when will the people be saved from his evil,,,,,,,, ;) 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If the Good Samaritan had been a Republican it wouldn't be a story, It'd just be another dead beat up guy by the side of the road. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Through either sanctions or poilicy I don't think Russia is selling Diesel to the west, The US's shortages are down to Trump. 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Not having to listen to your Playground attempts at one upmanship again would be prize enough. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm inclined to think Fox News is a Symptom rather than the cause. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm NOT your mate, my mates have greater intelligence than this word salad demonstrates. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Oh you do yourself a disservice, to see lamer just read your previous comments, your attempt at a gotcha question, wow, seen them a thousand times. Really I know you think your clever but there's evidence to the contrary. 100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026So you follow up an attempt at a cack handed gotcha question with a presumption. The only thing empty here is your head. 100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It'll be a cold day in hell when you become the arbiter of my efforts. 100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026We're a country that has the benefit of being able to control and print our own money which is economically the backbone of a healthy countries fiscal power. Perpetually taking loans is a fools game. As for Germany and France doing well on it, Are they? 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026We had an amazing deal with the EU, kept the pound, got lots of perks, If we rejoin we'll get none of that. That bridge is burned, we have to figure a way to move forward with the EU but not as part of it. As hard as i fought to stay in I'd fight to stay out now. 230
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Although it's another lie it will sway some voters, theres enough ignorance out there to effect the election. 020
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026True, My local park planted a lot of trees and the residents of the surrounding streets had to water them. Most survived. Budget or not 5000 is no where near enough. I can only hope few as they are they don't let them just die off. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Agree totally but " plant fewer trees", London has about 10 million people in it, 5000 trees is nothing to a city so big. 100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026And remember, best friends with Rock Hudson untill he got AIDS. There's a whole story about Rock needing Nancy to get him into a leeding Hospital in France, did she lift a finger? Did she F**k. 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Watched it recently, it's no " The Sting" but it's good fun. Murphy's recollections of Pryor are quite interesting. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I don't understand why the negotiations aren't working, I mean there's the little matter that the USA has to deal with the guy who's dad they killed, oh and his wife and daughter but I'm sure he can rise above all that silliness,,,,,,,, 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The wife saw him live about a month ago and was Blown away, synth hard rock, cleared her sinuses. 021
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Ingrid's got her original Cap on rather that the hat, never liked that hat. 100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Well he might want to look in the mirror to find his first Nazi. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I've also just read the Brazilian owner of the beef heading to the US was a large donor to Trumps campaign fund. 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Extraordinary yes, unbelievable no, the USA's economy has been a juggernaut beyond any comparison. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Nope, it's definitely in the 30s, read a whole article about it years ago by Paul Krugman. That's why the US is the world's biggest consumer. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I heard 8% but if you know better I defer to your superior knowledge :) 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026 Unfortunately as humans to improve ourselves we must acknowledge our own failures in our strive to improve. Trump has no such impetuous, if he'd designed the Titanic he'd seen it's maiden voyage as a success. 110
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Or when my cats outside and I hear children saying " Ooo a cat" then the sound of crying as my cat attempts to shred their little hands. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Well throwing them in jail is technically a form of housing. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026His obsession with the Deficit is somewhat ignorant, the USA has about 8% of the world's population and consumes about 30% of the world's produce. That inherently leeds to a deficit in trade, he seems to think it's something more sinister, he's wrong. 2100
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026And upstaging them in the background the legendary Peter Wyngarde. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026" I float so well, I might be the greatest floater in the world, nobody knows about floating like me" 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I know a chap who works at a University and he says applications from American Professors has increased ten fold since Trump. 020
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I always have Amazon because the breadth of films they have run from the modern to the obscure old. I've even seen silent era stuff there. 010
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The 3D Blu-ray is quite an experience, doesn't make the film better, just adds to the spectacle. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I bought It when it came out on DVD, a great example of how older TV programmes pacing can tell a story better than modern TVs more wham bam structure. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The book is very different from the film, the BBC early 80s adaptation is particularly good too, very accurate. 130
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 26/08/2026God Damn, the last two days have taken away some immense talent, if Shatner goes tomorrow I'm jumpin off a bridge. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I met him once, was quite overcome and just gibbered that I was a big fan. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026She is mesmerizing, such a strong presence on screen. 121
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Trump seems to shrinking,, he's barely taller than Melania now. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Ha, well to quote Catch 22, " I intend to live forever and will die trying" 020
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 09/08/2026And that too is why I saw your post, thank the heavens his genius lives on. 110
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I like this better than the original, showed it to a group of friends on my projector screen to much applause. 000
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I'll have to check them out, the one I just saw was early 30s and had Pat O'Brien in it, good actor but no Rosalind Russell :) 021
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Ahhh, well there's a lot of quick fire dialog in HGF, I'll have to watch it again. Weirdly just watched the original were the Russell characters a man. 111
Dave Swan @daveswan.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I love that the dialogue overlaps sometimes in conversation, just like real people talking over each other. An actual choice by Hawks and to my knowledge had never been done before. 251
