"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I think our military's findings about letting them live and sleep in the same rooms are interesting. When I was in the military many of the soldiers would go weeks or months and barely talk to girls. Porn would be a part of that life. In recent years when more young women entered the service the units reasoned that men and women would train together, live in the same tents etc. Why not live in the same rooms if they do everything else together? I think they found that sexual harassment actually went down because of this.
There is much to what she said. I saw an interview with two girls serving on the border of Russia. On the subject of sharing living quarters with boys they said "we have seen everything" and shook their heads in disgust. I think they were thinking of health (or lack of) habits )
They also made food and ate food together, saw TV together ("we're sick of Top Gear!") I think this kind of co-habitation can be healthy.
My wife said ," when the girls get to see how unhygienic, smelly and always scratching their bits the boys
Are. Their image of these romantic teen pinups will soon come crashing down !"
I wonder if living with Me, has effected her views ?

I think they for some reason would like to see Gosip Girl, Sex and the City etc.
When I was in the army I attended the christian soldiers union. I know you don't approw of that sort of behavior , but I also met local girls there. I think it was good for me not to be totally cut off from females at that time of my life.
I also think hunting, living outdoors and so on is more common in Norway then it is in many other countries.
There is also a different culture a slightly different culture in the military in Norway. I saw a documentary about the fallskjermjegers (a special forces unit focusing on long range reccon).
I noticed how informal and quiet the offiser were. They talked to the rereuits instead of shouting. There was litle of that macho postureing we often see in the movies (especiallly Hollywood) and I suspect is often used in real life too. the tonewas more "not good enough - do it again."
Interesting, I think most special forces have a more relaxed attitude. As by that stage you
Would have already proven you were capable. Although this is only from books, I'm an
Armchair general.
I have to assume the macho shouting at recruits does work, otherwise, I guess they'd stop
Using it ?

It works, so does having a 19 stone Sergeant standing on your wrists while the Co is beasting you
I've only seen trainspotting once and not all of it , I found the scene of the Dead Baby, too upsetting.
I couldn't get the image out of my head for days. Funny how you can watch hundreds of horror films
yet a drama about drug taking can have such an effect.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Have a bad feeling about Trainspotting 2. One of those "right place at the right time" so leave it well alone kind of things. The soundtrack is pretty special to me as reminds me of leaving home at 16 for college / uni etc and was a huge part of the film itself. New Order / Underworld / Eno / Britpop
Yeah the dead baby scene is pretty disturbing (and poss worse when the baby revisits during the cold turkey scene in a "The Shining" type way). My Mrs wont watch it due to that. I guess such horror has occured with extreme drug use many a time, and it is here in the film bared and all.
Will be good to see Francis Begbie though - RC's acting for his character was superb!!!!! Highlight of the film is all his scenes, hilarious dark comedy if you like that thing. We have all known similar psychos or seen them!!
Bladerunner seems to be gathering an amazing cast I just hope the hype doesn't
build up our hopes so much, that the film can't live up to our expectations.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Didnt see prometheus, bladerunner was a favourite of mine, so ahead of its time and quite startling in places. I'm hoping for a decent sequel. Harrison Ford is on something of a role at the moment, lm keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't revisit Indiana Jones. Still can't bring myself to watch crystal skull.
Prometheus gets a bad rap but I still enjoyed it due to some great moments
That's what I feared! I was scared of destroying my childhood love of Indy, running round the local woods with a home made whip, an old trilby on pretending I was being chased by a giant boulders is a happy place, so I'll leave indy riding off accross the desert with his dad and Marcus.
Agreed on the crystal skull, and I though Prometheus was ok. the only bit
I found silly, was a woman not knowing to run to the side, to avoid a falling object !

He's coming back again. Crystal Skull is a bad movie, but Ford is still solid in it. I didn't ruin the old movies for me. In fact, it gives me more appreciation for the old movies, just as Daniel Craig's Bond films gave me more appreciation of the Bond films and Bond actors before him.

I think they have a more relaxed attitude after you have to become a member of the unit. SAS doesn't care much about propper uniform and there isn't a seperate officer's mess. But many SF units seem to have instructors shout a lot of abuse at the recruits during the selection period. Some units, such as the Norwegian units, feel this makes the recruits angry and obstinate. This motivates some to stay on. Instead tehy give a minimum of feedback. Only the strongest and most self-motivated manage to get through selection with so littel positive or negative feedback.

Agree with you Matt, Ford is always solid. Crystal Skull was silly because it veered off into sci-if when Indy has always been more supernatural, so it was wide of the mark.
But look (IMO) how good The Force Awakens was, and Ford was terrific in that - if they let JJ Abrams make IJ5 then it could be terrific.
Good news for Yorkshire you are the most British of all of us
In a new study of British genes, it's roughly 37% Anglo-Saxon,
22% Celtic, and 20% western European. Then some smaller groups.
But in Yorkshire it's something like 45% Anglo-Saxon. )
They didn't say how Lancashire worked out.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I'm quite aware how British I am, my surname came over with the Normandy invasion, my grandmother was a quarter french on my mother's side, but my dad's family is about as true as you can get, to the extent that we have a village bearing our family name.
I live in North Yorkshire and I'm sure it's one of the happiest county's in England, due to the stunning scenery, places like York and low crime the happiness levels in York drop sharply on the weekends when the tee/Tyne side invasion happens.

Agreed on both counts {[] . It wasn't just nostalgia that carried him in that movie (although that obviously helped). By the way, have you seen this? https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jul/26/star-wars-production-company-admits-health-and-safety-breaches-harrison-ford
