I'm suspicious about the origin of that food product.

Underlining the word "British" in the phrase "British Farmers" looks like perhaps they're trying a little too hard.

It's like when someone knows all the words to the U.S. national anthem but isn't a professional singer, real Americans are ignorant about their country.

The "Assured Food Standards" logo looks like the " Oo " emoticon...

I'm always amazed how directors in hollywood sometimes scoff at the people whom make independent films.. Still a great many of such indy films have done way better than their over-budget hollywood counterparts at times..

^ very interesting starkid..


I do hope that all independent booksellers don't go out of business due to big conglomerates eating up their business..

The big box booksellers seem to be dying slowly with e-readers gaining more momentum. With the current emphasis on local and artisanal products in unique stores, maybe that trend will continue and carry over to other areas such as books. To compete with Amazon they'd probably have to cater to niche markets so it's tough to say.

My exposure to ereaders was a bad one - they seemed to read the files wrong and have spelling errors and glitches on almost every page! I can't tolerate that sort of thing in a published novel!

I don't have an ereader but, I have amazon kindle on my smartphone yet, I've yet to use such for, I enjoy reading books the old fashioned way until paper books are no more. Just as there might be a time when movies are viewed only via streaming service since that is becoming more and more common these days..

That's the direction it's going, and to be honest movie theaters just aren't thrilling anymore. They're too cold, too sticky, and way too loud. I do enjoy the few old fashioned ones here and there that haven't revamped and supersized out of recognition. Some theaters are offering more of a lounge/club feel to them, which I've heard good things about but haven't had the opportunity to experience yet in person.

I used to love going to see a movie.

Then, slowly, the prices went up, snacks became too expensive, and people became unbearably thoughtless.
