I think that I 'did well'

Dear All,

I have watched today The Simon Pegg/ Nick Frost film 'Hot Fuzz'. I had forgotten that it was, in actual fact, a Good Film. A fair plot, a 'good bit' of action, especially towards the end.

It is a two disk 'Special Edition', the second disk has- I believe- all sorts of information, out takes, alternative 'bits' etc. Ok it is from 2007, so a few years ago... Since I paid 50p for it, a couple of months ago, I'd say that I 'bagged a bargain'😊.

It's like that with Technology 'Things' go Out Of Date, so fast, that Todays latest Tech, is in the Bargain Bin within a year, perhaps two.

I even, a few months ago, got my Mother's old DVD/ VHS Player going and connected to her Set. (I bought a 'Video' lead- Male to Female 'Arial' lead... Not realising that I already had one!). Still it's working.

Moral here 'People' keep your eyes open.

Tech moves far too fast for me, and I have better things to do with my limited time and money than try to keep up with it!

I have become a fully paid up member of the Technophobes' Union. I was late coming to CDs and DVDs, MP3 is a lost art form, Wireless tech on computers baffles me, Windows 10 is torture, and what in Hell are Dongles and Memory Sticks?

This from a woman who could still work perfectly well in Windows 3.1, and sent emails before the WWW. was even a twinkle in its founder's eye!

Cheers, Midori

It's a great movie! Did you see "Paul" from this duo?

No I haven't but... I think I 'Picked it up' a while ago, again quite cheaply, I'll have to check. I didn't like 'The World's End' much... Just too 'strange'......

Hi AndrewT,

😂😂 I love the keep you eyes open - it is amazing what you ‘notice’.

I too like Hot Fuzz. Technology does move too fast - do we really NEED as opposed to WANT it ? 😏 (That is supposed to be a sly dog look).

I’m in my forties and I didn’t have internet put into my flat until 3 years ago.

I’ve still got 2 Walkmans (which are pretty indestructible) and an awesome DVD collection. 😊

That is my ultimate favourite film ever! 😃 Good shout, think it’s time to revisit 👍

See if you’d like the other ones too, I recently watched World’s End but Shaun of the dead is awesome too!!
