Can I suggest you see a doctor, if you have not done so already?

I thought Cara Delvigne was pretty good actually, and felt mildly aggrieved the title of the film was Valerian when her character was clearly the star. But yes, a poor film.

Red Sparrow Again, a film I'm not sure how to feel about. I would tend towards I didn't like it - it felt opaque and mostly unnecessary. But what it is is a film about being Jennifer Lawrence. It's quite noteworthy that she appears nude in this film, having been victim of the iCloud hack, and...

I may make a greater assault on this travesty of a discussion at some later point, but for now I will settle for the following: I'm all for respecting people's rights to say and write whatever they want. I don't want to have to remember a gross or so invented words, such as selfie, gotten...

The problem is that there are weather warnings for everything now. A yellow warning of rain. So... it's going to rain a bit. Not in an unusual or life-threatening way, just in your everyday rain way. Why is that a weather warning? We bombard people with so many warnings nowadays it's no...

I don't have an answer to that, though it may be a CBTC compatability issue. But hopefully if they remove those points they can lower the District tracks and raise the Piccadilly's so they both have step-free access.

How you can get infinitely many lottery tickets.

I'm sure the shop assistant has sold lots of lottery tickets which didn't win, so no, you just got lucky. Quit now while you're ahead.

Beyond BB guns, old muskets displayed in museums/pubs and the SMGs carried by armed police/soldiers, I have happily never seen a gun in real life. I hope that continues. Quite frankly I'd really rather the police not be armed either No, I'm not saying that there shouldn't be police with guns...

Black Panther I... am honestly not quite sure how to feel about this one. It is the most necessary film Marvel have ever made (but goddamn it can we please get a Black Widow movie?), and it has a villain who has motives beyond wanting to destroy stuff for reasons, but... Honestly, I think my...

I always loved how DS9 allowed for larger stories. The problem with TOS/TNG was that they would go somewhere, upend a civilisation, then fly away and never think of it again. DS9 was forced to deal with consequences. Voyager could have been good, but it failed to deal with consequences or go...

(note: the old thread was closed https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/star-trek-discovery.133202/) The season finale of Star Trek: Discovery season 1 came out on Netflix today, so I thought I'd air my thoughts on it. I came into the season with mixed feelings. I desperately wanted Discovery to...

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Quite simply the best film I've seen this past year. Excellent performances all round, a lot of characters who are all to some extent or other objectionable (except Penelope, she's lovely). Black comedy. 5/5

288.34 miles in January. Of interest, today the Jubilee Line became my 5th most used TOC on 1595.43 miles, overtaking GTR. It should overtake East Coast for #4 next Friday. It'll be about two years until it's challenging EMT for #3 though.

If a terrorist did try to kill politicians by putting a lorry on the railway, that seems... well, quite a low success probability method. Chances of anyone on the train dying are fairly low, chances of the right person dying nigh on zero. And with the availability of guns it would have been...

If you, as the train manager, are making your passengers feel uncomfortable you are bad at your job. Perhaps sexual harassment is too strong a word here, but if his behaviour makes his passengers uncomfortable then he clearly needs a refresher course in how to interact with his passengers.

*cracks his knuckles* BRING ON THE QUOTES! Frankly, this just sounds like lechery to me. At best it is unprofessional. If your job is to check tickets, then check the tickets. By all means converse with the passengers, but if all you can say is stuff about their appearance or imply that...

It seems to me that a lot of problems in the Bristol area re transport are caused by the lack of integration between the four authorities. South Gloucestershire for instance would oppose better transport links to Bristol city centre as it would take shoppers away from Cribbs Causeway which...

Recreate Avon please.

To reiterate what others have said, we are not doctors (of medicine anyway), and even if we were, we could not diagnose you without physically examining you. You should go and see your doctor. I had a bit of a scare back in 2016 when I found a lump. It turned out to be a cyst and nothing to...
