So, second day of garden leave and so far I am being lazy lump. I am still in bed, at lunchtime, because I can be. I officially have nothing to do and my bed is warm and comfy. Only fly in the ointment is I really need to pee. And the bathroom is downstairs and would entail me getting out of bed and leaving the relative safety/comfort/relaxing confines of my bedroom. #realworldproblems

Are you actually suggesting that I pee the bed and lay in it? You nasty!

Anyway, I have actually gotten up now, had a delightful breakfast (scrambled eggs with chives, smoked salmon and warm croissant) and am now watching The Mentalist.

Eating cake in the morning should be referred to as, "Bogtrottin."

I call it "breakfast" but I had it at 2pm. Does that still count? I say yes as it was my first meal of the day.

And chocolate cake for breakfast is always nice. Especially when washed down with a beer.

Please explain "bogtrottin" for the foreigner. I can hazard a guess, but would like confirmation.

Depends on whose definition of "must see" you went by. Big budget, popular blockbusters within a three year period then yes.

Has it ever occurred that the reason he doesn't have time to see new stuff is because he is otherwise occupied playing catch-up? There is still a laundry list of must-sees that I haven't seen yet because of one or more of the following:

1) ADHD forgetting that I haven't seen it despite wanting to.
2) being reminded when I see it, but it's already half over.
3) Not being in the mood.
4) wanting to watch something else instead.
4.5) watching something else and not wanting to interrupt my binge.
5) ADHD forgetting that I haven't seen it despite wanting to.

I didn't..by the time I was his age I had seen Everything from Gone with the Wind to Saving Private Ryan.  As Knox said...rentals.  My family rented at least 5 films Every weekend.

Well then you grew up in a freak show. Tongue



"WHATEVER! J____!"


Every time I take the What's Your Lightsaber Combat Style, I get either Makashi or Shien/Djem So. I guess I supposedly am supposed to be really good at defense, or at least at turning their attacks back against them. However, I suck at defending. Attacking is fine, but I can't defend very well. Maybe I do turn their attacks back against them, but if I do, it happens on their first strike. Or maybe I just don't have someone who is good enough at attacking to adequately test my defense skills.

Makashi and Djem So are not defensive techniques. Both are actually offensive. Makashi is the lighter and faster, while Djem So is strong. Most notable practitioners of each Count Dooku and Darth Bane, respectively.

No excuse. Like Tepes, I managed to watch old stuff and new stuff, plus school, competing for various school sports teams, music lessons, household chores, seeing friends, tv and reading. But that's just me. I grew up in a time without internet, so had more time in a day to do stuff.

There is still a laundry list of must-sees that I haven't seen yet because of one or more of the following:

1) ADHD forgetting that I haven't seen it despite wanting to.
2) being reminded when I see it, but it's already half over.
3) Not being in the mood.
4) wanting to watch something else instead.
4.5) watching something else and not wanting to interrupt my binge.
5) ADHD forgetting that I haven't seen it despite wanting to.
I didn't realise you had ADHD, but as far as I know he doesn't. Or maybe he does. As I just said, I grew up in a time without internet. Internet and streaming services has overloaded the media watching experience. I almost feel sorry for younglings growing up now (so much choice, such little time).

Well then you grew up in a freak show. Tongue
Who? Tepes or me? And I'm sure Tepes would say he was well-rounded individual!  Cheesy

By the way, I am not criticising him or any youngling for not having seen the same movies we have. All my comments are made in fun, in jest, in a jocular fashion to illicit a humorous response.

Really? Nothing tipped you off? Roll Eyes Yeah, I'm to the nines. I can even be distracted from my distractions. But you don't have to be ADHD to be distractable. It just helps.

Both, after I read your reply. Tongue

Hey, I still haven't seen the Godfather trilogy. But back in the day I would have hated it. Now I'm more open minded as to what makes a good movie.

Skip part 3. It is just as awful as everyone says it is.

No offense, but I thought "bogtrotting" was one of those obscure British slang terms, possibly for spending an inordinately long time on the toilet.
