Hello Fedizens! I'm winding down for a short weekend and would love a couple of good "slightly baked-friendly" films to watch later. Recent releases or older fillums that aren't too much of a downer and are pretty immersive would probably hit the spot. TIA 😇

A word of advice. If you've been strimming/weed whacking an extensive patch of land in the hot sun without wearing a full protective suit, do not wait before cleaning yourself up.

On the third day when I was feeling a bit better the Doc told me I had a 5% chance of snuffing it. Don't be an idiot, take a shower you smelly git.

Utter, utter, scumbags

As a teenager I was quizzed for a couple of hours by two rather thick rozzers who thought I'd committed a burglary. And nearly got arrested for spying in a top secret defence facility abroad for sniffing their network. Unfortunately I can't really say much more about that. Anyone else with such tales of mild peril? Or actual horror stories?
