Aliens, film 4

classic

Stands up extremely well in this age of CGI. Could have been made this year.

defeintly in my top 10 fav films

LETS ROCK!!

Interesting that, like star wars, they used modified real guns for this. WW2 era stuff, not so futuristic!
The big cool guns are modified German heavy machine guns, the light ones modified US Thompson machine guns, like the gansters used to use.

Makes you wonder what the guns did in their previous life, like if they were killing real people 30 years previously.

GIRL POWER 

Nice to see someone cheering on the alien queen, not a popular choice

one of the very few sequels that smashes the original film to bits

Ha, Ha, you know I meant sigourney weaver!

But come to think of it she was just a mother protecting her children, so she qualifies!

The alien that is.

Well I think sigourney is a mum at the end as well?

Those sort of exoskeleton loaders at the end seem a good idea, I wonder if they'll ever be used?
By women I mean, men can already lift huge heavy boxes by hand

But she is not her real mum, Just checking.

But why do women need machines when men love to help us

Even if it is just to get into our knickers

If you didn't have machines, it would take a lot longer to do our laundry

Although it is not funny when i think of the past when women spent hours washing by hand

You know I have lived with many men, but, to my recollection, I have never done all their washing and certainly I don't think I have ever  ironed anything for a man.  I might have put some of their stuff in with mine if I did not have a full load, but their washing and ironing was their responsibility, not mine.

I lived in a student dive flat for a year without a washing machine, that was a year of hand washing, so I'm familiar with the effort! Learned all the tricks, e.g. be careful how you wring out so you don't stretch the wrong bit like the neck of a t shirt etc. I put the skills to good use on holiday, bathroom sinks in hotels have learned to fear me

her real daughter had supposedly died while she was asleep drifting through space for years between the 1st and 2nd films

I'm married over 40 years and have never ironed a shirt in my life.
Even when my wife went into hospital to have our kids I went and stayed with her parents rather than cook for myself.

It is no wonder you know I am a woman being married for forty years!

I envy your wife

Annie that's how I grew up. My mother did everything in the house.
My wife had a similar environment so was just natural she looked after me.

You lucky bvgger!

I hate ironing. It's such a waste of time! The secret is getting the right shirts etc that you don't need to iron and just hang damp, or worst case just need the bare minimum :)

But ironing does have it's uses. You can use the iron in the hotel room to quickly dry out damp clothes you didn't just quickly wash in the sink I should write a book on this

I am the same, Just Checking, I only buy clothes that dont need ironing.

It makes a huge difference in the material. I really need to write down what the really good shirt mixes are.
Some shirts come out the washing machine and you stick them on a hanger and don't need to touch them, perfect, others are crease machines. Without looking I think polyester is awful and a sort of cotton blend is good, something like that.

Agree, again.

Polyester usually looks not good.  But cotton mixes can look good and not need much ironing.

I must admit to a soft spot for 'Ben Shermans' shirts, they seem to have the right mixture and look good on men.

Maybe I'll have to look out for them, when I've bought expensive shirts I've been not impressed.
I just look out for stuff that looks good in say Next or Debenhams or at a push .. M&S.
(When I'm buying manly M&S sandwiches)

In fact now I think about it one of the worst shirts I've got for creases is I think the most expensive shirt I've bought!

What is a manly sandwich, Just Checking?

Ben sherman shirts are casual shirts though, not for wearing with suits.

Cheese and pickle, or egg mayo  
For smart shirts it would be Deb/MS not Next or B/S
They both I think do the right shirts if you look enough, but also wrong 'uns!

I've a nice shirt from the Rangers collection JC.
Fantastic almost heathery look light blue.
The only real Rangers bit is a very small red, white and blue tag on the pocket.
Cost a few quid but the wife says it's a nightmare to iron.

Oh akabula, I can't stop laughing, 'my wife says it's a nightmare to iron'.

You spoilt fukker, you

I can't believe they let 'fukker' through, I thought they would ***************** it out, so I didn't bother, I don't usually use words like that, only for a laugh.

Troll ^^^^

x 2

Ok, two trolls

Do they allow "fokker" through. It's a good name for period airplanes, and germanic breeding practices.

Good :)

My fav joke. Stan Boardman.

Aka I hope you spoil your wife sometimes. Treat her right.

Buy the EXPENSIVE fairy liquid bottle or something?

(So sorry annie :))

I sure do. Eyeing up an expensive pots and pans set for her birthday.
Maybe throw in a few dish towels as well.

Annie I used to always give the wife a Valentines card and gift on the night b4. Forgot one year. Petted lip appears.
Anyways we used to get our paper delivered. Wife still in bed I'm up for work Quick read of the paper and there was an
advert from Fairy Liquid a 20p off coupon under the heading One for the Ladies. Was the Daily Record.
I cut it out and put it on top the kitchen table. Shouted up to wife. "I didn't forget I've left it in the kitchen for you"
I thought it was funny, she was raging.
That's a true story and I still think it funny.

"Anyways we used to get our paper delivered."
Not any more? You've done a paper boy out of a job!!!

You know what happens to unemployed people who now don't have a purpose: they vote SNP.
For shame aka, for shame :)

I like a stroll down for my paper in the morning now JC no matter the weather.

Nothing wrong with that :)
I'm a hypocrite there I don't buy a paper regularly myself.

Way past my bedtime. Good night all.

That's a true story and I still think it funny.



Goodnight, akabula
