Posted by bobby b 71 on 18 Jan 2022 at 8:28PM I wanted to clarify a couple of things to everyone. Those of you who have said it's all genetic or it's pilot's vision 20/10 or it's eagle or hawk's vision 20/4. Guess what? You are ALL correct! Us D.C.s and M.D.s use 20/20 as meaning RELATIVELY "perfect vision." As for me and the bottom line of a Snellen eye chart, go ahead and make those letters 1/2 the size they are! I'd still ace it because I'd have to use my eagle's eye! I never flown my own plane but on the job I have had a few wild car chases so I had to use pilot's vision. My point? When you elect to have done with your eyes what I had done to mine about 20 yrs. ago you'd have the same ability also.
(#5332850) I don't, but should
Posted by DoubleU on 18 Jan 2022 at 7:02PM I was tested for vision problems while taking driver's ed, and got diagnosed with 20/40 vision. I don't need them if I don't drive, and I gave up on driving.

(#5332671) Re: Ready to celebrate birthday #75 with NO CONTACTS OR GLASSES
Posted by Totty on 18 Jan 2022 at 8:05AM Interesting. I know most of my eye problems are hereditary, and I did a very small amount of damage to the optic nerve on my right eye when I was a heavy drinker, so environmental factors and good health definitely play their part. My brother (16 months younger than me) is closer in looks etc. to my mum and uncle. My mum didn't need glasses until she was nearly 60, and my uncle never wore them. My dad needed glasses his whole life, and I'm more like him. Shrug. Anyway, I'm glad you look after your eyes so well!!

(#5332201) Glasses, heredity and getting old
Posted by Totty on 17 Jan 2022 at 6:42AM When I turned 40 I started to get really bad headaches. I'd had these before, but had always attributed them to stress. I spent nearly 2 years under the wing of the fabulous local eye clinic, and it turns out I've inherited a problem my dad had. My eyes have a "vertical" offset. If I'm tired, or just relax my eye muscles I see two images one above the other. So I do wear glasses for driving, general day-to-day life, sports etc., but even if I wore contacts I would have to wear glasses too! My right eye has a prism in it to correct the offset... and the headaches.

Posted by bobby b 71 on 16 Jan 2022 at 8:29PM YEP You read right! The lil old lady at the driver license exam station saw me read off the bottom line of the SNELLEN eye chart and had her perm and silver chain shaking! "How did you do that!" I told her that I drink a quart of carrot juice a day that I snatch from rabbits. She said "That's incredible!" I agreed!! NOW GANG!!! What I just told you is the truth about my 20/20 vision with not having glasses or no inserted contact lenses is the TRUTH so help me GOD! and also the previous chat about me doing a real joust in a castle is also the truth! On the holy book and my dear grandmas stone! SOOH If some of you want to know how I do this for once leave me some replies (for a change) and I will be DELIGHTED to share my secret with all of you!

Posted by Jools on 16 Jan 2022 at 8:10PM 20/20 vision isn't perfect, it's simply "normal" and refers to which line on an eye chart you can read. You can get better and also have 20/20 and still need glasses for close work or other reasons (#5332076) Re: glasses yes

Posted by mutleybj on 15 Jan 2022 at 1:13PM the outer limit series mucked me around too. especially the episode where a spectre sorts crawls through a screen to go nuts in the outside world. I think it was a tv station trying to boost its signal to improve transmission or something! even though I have the box set to that, I still have to watch some of those scenes through clenched fingers!

Posted by Ahhnanas on 15 Jan 2022 at 12:18PM Watership Down was advertised as a kids movie back then.. there's some very graphic and brutal fighting scenes between the rabbits. I've never even re-watched it as an adult, because I've been too afraid to.

I had to pay it a visit during a commercial break in the movie. so I went out, closed the door and continued on. now some one MUST have walked past the door because it caused a shadow to go across under the door, I thought it was the friggin "blob" attacking me! i'm still wary of shadows under the door to this day!!

(#5330937) Re: Blakes 7
Posted by MM David littlefair XI on 14 Jan 2022 at 7:36AM The Blake's 7 Wars were a series of events taking place in the late 1980s in the Blake's 7 fandom community. They go by many names, including "The Fannish Controversies," "The Controversy," "The Feud," and "The Blake's 7 Slash Wars." The events disrupted and divided the fandom community, leading to what some believe was the mass migration of fans away from Blake's 7 fandom. They also created ripple effects of fear and uncertainty in other fandoms. (#5330924) Re: Blakes 7

(#5330859) Re: Blakes 7
Posted by Totty on 14 Jan 2022 at 3:29AM I loved Blakes 7. I was pretty young when the series was first shown, but rewatched the whole lot on UK Gold in the early 90s. There's a lot that sticks in my mind. Some of the plots were pretty twisted, especially towards the end. Great characters (Avon!), lots of selfishness and sneakiness, the inimitable ORAC and some fabulous acting in places.
(#5330858) Re: Blakes 7
Posted by Jools on 14 Jan 2022 at 3:18AM Blakes 7 was a great show, although the low budget definitely showed through. the initial plot was unusual as they were alleged criminals who captured a deserted alien spacecraft, with advanced technology (#5330857) Re: Dr Who

(#5330795) Blakes 7
Posted by Big Giant Head on 14 Jan 2022 at 1:05AM Just remembered this classic British series. I don't know how well known it is in America, but it was huge in Britain during it's initial run from 1978-1981. A science fiction series with much darker themes than Dr Who which it is usually compared with. I remember a few of the episodes terrifying me at the time. It is generally looked down on these days as an awful moment of British TV history, but although the effects are obviously dated, the stories and characterisations of the main cast are great. It's worth watching just to see Jacqueline Pearce as an out and out baddie.
(#5330794) Re: A scary movie not on the list.
Posted by Big Giant Head on 14 Jan 2022 at 1:02AM I watched that last year, but under the name The Trollenberg Terror which was the name it was released under outside the US. Definitely not a horror by today's standards, but an entertaining way to spend some time.

Posted by Big Giant Head on 14 Jan 2022 at 12:59AM I grwe up in the Tom Baker years, being just short of my fourth birthday when he took over. SO many stories had an effect on me over the coming years and I absolutely loved it. The only time I remember hiding from the tv was when I was at my grandmother's for an episode from 1979 when the epsiode ended on a monster rising up out of a pit, it was cutting edge special effects for the time. The following week when the episode started with the previous week's cliffhanger I forced myself to sit and watch it and remember feeling proud I'd done it. Rewatching the episode today, it looks so mild as the effects haven't aged well.
(#5330790) Re: Body snatchers!
Posted by Big Giant Head on 14 Jan 2022 at 12:54AM The original from 1956 is a classic, and the end is brilliant. The end of the remake is brilliant too, to be fair. Both scenes are classics of cinema.

I was suited up by a squire and a Vixen that was a bombshell to JOUST against this MAN. I had to sign a waiver and only got accepted because they saw I had been with Judo since age 15 and knew how to fall! Well it happened! My spear hit his breastplate just about 1/5th of a second before his hit mine. He went flying off the back of his horse and I suffered a LOW back sprain that had me playing Camelot with my board and pieces for the next month.

Posted by HeatherN on 12 Jan 2022 at 8:30AM Most of these movies were not even made when I was a child. I watched some in the list like the Yearling, and was sad, but not traumatised. They wouldn't put movies like that on the TV when I was toung. I think Boris Karloff in Dracula would be about as scary as it got, and would get put on TV after bedtime. I don't really like scary movies to be honest; although I did watch some on the list as an adult. One of the best scary movies I've seen, though, was "The Others" - really spooky, but again was not made when I wasa child. (#5330141) horror movie salem lot

Every time I go to a market to get some, there are so many flavors and people are buying a lot of it. They are always low or out of the ones I want. I've just recently become a coffee drinker and the creamers are the reason why. I like to try all the different flavors.
(#5326430) Re: Coffee creamer
Posted by Totty on 3 Jan 2022 at 9:48AM I think coffee creamer is primarily a US product, but I'm not sure. I've seen Coffee Mate, but everyone I know (and I know a LOT of coffee drinkers!) either takes it black or with milk. For me coffee is something unsweetened with a little milk, although I'll have it black if it's a good mokka pot brew!

(#5314619) Red lights 'n' bikes
Posted by Totty on 6 Dec 2021 at 3:16AM In the UK some traffic lights are triggered by sensors under the road. My motorbike has an alloy engine and frame, so sometimes doesn't trigger the sensor. There's a car park near me which is awful for this, and I've had to run the light to exit before as it will never, ever change! I remember seeing someone selling high power magnets on eBay that clip onto the frame of motorbikes for this problem! I just avoid that car park!
(#5314557) Re: Have you ever run a red light when no cops were around?
Posted by Y-Blockhead on 5 Dec 2021 at 9:43PM Have you ever run a red light when no cops are around?? NO, I usually wait until the cops are around to run a red light.

Posted by cmacker on 5 Dec 2021 at 8:59PM I have never run a red light. I know some of you will be sceptical but I know I am correct as I have also never driven a car which is more surprising
(#5314546) Have you ever run a red light when no cops were around?
Posted by HeartOnFire on 5 Dec 2021 at 8:04PM I think most of us that drive all tried it at one time or another. You're going at a decent speed and the light turns yellow, so rather than stopping you try to make it through before it turns red. Sometimes you make it through, and sometimes you're most of the way through when the light turns red. But you also know that it's a few seconds even more before the light turns green for the traffic going to be traveling across your path. And police usually never sit at lights where people are going to be stopping and pulling out at a slow speed. They'd rather be parked somewhere off the road where they can watch traffic going by non-stop to clock you to see if you're going the speed limit or they can catch you at speeding.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving... (#5309667) Re: Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Posted by Jools on 25 Nov 2021 at 10:23AM I'm quite aware of what the name means and where the name originates, also I know the food originates from the far east and was imported to Eastern Europe and travelled west towards Germany, but it certainly does not have a British origin. It is however still a very popular dish in Germany served with pork or wurst and is the origin of the derogatory name for Germans Also it's not an English name borrowed from German. it's a German word and probably only used in English speaking countries as the can't pronounce oe spell any of the other European names for it. (#5309660) Re: Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Posted by Y-Blockhead on 25 Nov 2021 at 9:33AM The word sauerkraut may be German but traditional fermented cabbage certainly is not nor did it originate in Germany. The English name is borrowed from German where it means "sour cabbage". (#5309615) Re: Thanksgiving

A lot of the "trick or treat" stuff came later, I think as a more American thing. Guising was just going around in disguises, singing a song and getting some sweets (I was dressed up as Wee Willie Winkie, and sang the song with a big carboard stopwatch!) What you're talking about is a tiny, tiny proportion of people fortunately. But those parties are just there to be had if you want to throw one! For a Covid-safe apple dooking, just give everyone a fork... ... preferably a blunt one.

Posted by Totty on 1 Nov 2021 at 4:48AM Where I stay there are very few young families. I don't think I've had trick or treaters around for 10-15 years. Used to buy "lucky bag" things for the ones who did. Swizzlers, Parma Violets, Refreshers type of mini sweets. One year I forgot to buy anything and got an egged window. Wow, that's hard to clean!! But my windows were pretty dirty, so thanks for the trick tiny people. I'm a hard one to upset.

Posted by Big Giant Head on 1 Nov 2021 at 1:11AM The Tingler is great. I also really liked Peeping Tom.

Posted by Whafflet on 1 Nov 2021 at 12:30AM Vincent price in "the house on haunted hill", is still 1 of my favourites, but the 1922 re mastered version of Nosferatu can be still seen on Youtube ( I believe they changed the music and maybe a couple of scenes?) if anyone would like to watch it. The shadow going up the stairs is still super creepy.

Posted by GinnyB on 31 Oct 2021 at 9:53PM Haven't had Trick or Treaters come to the door since I've moved... Seems kids are going to parties just to be safe.

Posted by Whafflet on 30 Oct 2021 at 5:17AM My favourite Character was and has always been Nosferatu. There's something still creepy about that film.

Posted by MM David littlefair XI on 30 Oct 2021 at 5:14AM Not all zombies are the same. 28 days and weeks later there were rage infected that pass on the virus with saliva (#5299971) Re: Farmer Vincent from Motel Hell

Posted by Byteme on 29 Oct 2021 at 11:29AM I also heard that candy was left out to appease him. Masks were worn to hide from him.
(#5299757) Re: Whats the verdict.? craving or carving pumpkins
Posted by Fian on 29 Oct 2021 at 11:22AM Did you know that Halloween is an Irish tradition called Samhain (pronounced Sowin) and the carving of a scary turnip was required to keep the spirits from your home.
(#5299756) Sadako
Posted by TaraRayne on 29 Oct 2021 at 11:01AM The spirit from the original Japanese movie Ringu. Not the dumbed down American remake.
(#5299741) Zombies
Posted by Jools on 29 Oct 2021 at 8:59AM I tend to avoid zombie movies, just predictable violence normally. But two of my favourite zombie themed movies are I am Legend and Warm Bodies (#5299740) Re: I don't watch scarey movies anymore either but
Posted by Jools on 29 Oct 2021 at 8:56AM I find all clowns kinda creepy Depnds what you coun' as a "scary" movie too, I love suspense in any movie but wouldn't necessary class some of them listed as scary (#5299738) Re: (no subject)
Posted by Jools on 29 Oct 2021 at 8:52AM but it says Alien not aliens, so probably the same thing. The poll also says Pennywise and clown-IT, so probably the same error (#5299721) Farmer Vincent from Motel Hell
Posted by Lou Siffer on 29 Oct 2021 at 7:19AM "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters"
(#5299606) Re: (no subject)
Posted by Big Giant Head on 29 Oct 2021 at 1:42AM All the Xenomorphs were aliens, but not all aliens are xenomorphs.
(#5299597) (no subject)
Posted by Tolp on 28 Oct 2021 at 11:49PM Xenomorph/Alien was to options in the poll, Aren't they the same thing?
