Trawling through the needlecrafts section on ebay.

I knew of a guy who drove until he was 100, died at 106.

Len Vale-Onslow, still riding motorcycles at the age of 102.

The French Connection car chase deserves a "WTF?" in itself.

Was it? Thought it was New York not Chicago.

 

[Naughty_Felid]

Silly me of course it is.

I couldn't swear all of the Blues Brothers was filmed in Chicago but that bridge they drove under is definitely Chicago. I think that same bridge might have also been featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I was watching the documentary on BBC Four about Orson Welles, and Mark Cousins (the director) filmed some of it in Chicago, Welles' old haunt. During that bit, I thought, what's the raised railway system from The French Connection in New York doing in the Windy City? Then I twigged they had one in both cities. It'll be on iPlayer if you want to check it out, around 20 minutes in I think.

The bridge was the thing that got me.

Mind blown. I didn't realise there was two of them in different cities.

Liverpool had an overhead railway along the docks until the 1950s.

Wikipedia reminds us that it also had something of a film career!

You can sit inside this carriage in Liverpool Museum. It doesn't move, alas, though I think there are sound-effects!

In other words, because he can.

‘I’ve just had some Botox done down Superdrug.’
‘Are you mad?’
‘Funny, that was the first thing they said.’

Mental Health: Tougher checks before Superdrug Botox

High street retailer Superdrug is to introduce tougher mental health checks before performing cosmetic procedures, following criticism by the NHS.
Prof Stephen Powis, the medical director of NHS England, said the injections risked fuelling mental health disorders - and the health service was left to pick up the pieces.
Superdrug started offering Botox and dermal fillers last year.
The retailer said it was "fully committed" to the issue.

Hey! Fifteen months ago on this august forum l mentioned my regret at not having bought £1 vajazzles from a local Pound Shop.

The next thing might well be value-priced boob jobs, though:

“What do you think of me new bangers, Shazza?”
“Mint! Latex or saline implants?”
“Bernard Matthews...”
