Chatty thread for non-N&S topics - anything and everything!

I think when STPD hangs up hers, she will be hoping for 'retire and run away' :lol

It sounds perfect though, Diana. To make return visits at a time of your choosing. :hugs

#ThorntonThursday ❤️

Thank you, Fozzy! That was the most perfect screen kiss ever. Something about the way they are so clumsily, sweetly careful to fit their noses right :D :love

Pippa! that is lovely :heart

The original "Sound of Music" film

Thanks, eccles :up That's quite a find!

Pani couldn't find the film on a torrent either, which is why I bought it. I'm sure he could make a copy with subtitles from my original plus your link.

I'm hoping that trying to follow it in German will improve my skills :D

Where do we all live?

You guys absolutely must meet up in a coffee-shop midway!

One of you must carry a Plato, and the other be wearing an undone bracelet. Both of you must represent The Mill about your persons, in some fashion. (perhaps a pepper MILL hanging from your belt? a MILLstone round your neck?) :D

A Milestone

The Good Life was such a great show. I'm more of a Margot
Me too :D I always think of her when I pick my way fastidiously through knee-high mud and horse-dung, in my lime-green wellies, £2 in the Wilko sale (hers were probably Hunters lol.)

More spring flowers

I posted a similar picture this time last year, as I noticed these flowers were Ukraine colours. Which means that war has been going on one year and more :sad

Chat GPT writing N&S Fanfic

I have never even heard of this! How interesting! AI has come a long way since the 60s, when massive mainframes used for calculating numbers were 'taught' to write poetry, and came up with eg this: All children are small and crusty And all pale, blind, humble waters are cleansing An insect, dumb and...

II've bought this :up - the DVD version doesn't have subtitles but I can cross-check with the Youtube version if I get totally lost and I figure it will help me with my German. :D
