No one very interesting or remarkable
If the question was the same as it was written on that graphic, it does say "each year", but people don't always read what is in front of them very carefully.

Do people possibly think it is £12000 in total rather than in a year? I doubt 60% of the population are saving more than £12000 a year into anything? Surely?

I suspect but can't remember for sure that it was a Warner disc I had.

Ah that's interesting. I thought that there must have been more films released that way than just the one I happened across.

I know this isn't the main thing you are talking about, but I once rented a DVD of an old film whose extras were contemporaneous shorts, the idea being it recreated the programme of an evening at the cinema at the time. The shorts were actually really interesting as I recall.

Cave life's not all bad for olms. They live *exceptionally* long lives for an amphibian (100 yrs!), possibly arising from the fact that they have no natural predators & have been known not to move for up to 7 years.

Just tiny pink dragons guarding their tiny water-filled caves for a century. 🐉💧
One blind, aquatic salamander may have sat mostly still for seven years
Olms may live for about century and appear to spend their time moving sparingly.

No probs. I thought I had read about it some where but wanted to double check I hadn't made it up at when I googled it was the first thing that came up. Does make sense though (joking about ASAP aside) why he left the band and didn't do that much for a bit.

On the pod you wonder if cocaine was involved. If I understood you correctly you were under the impression Iron Maiden said none of them took drugs? Well, Adrian has admitted to using cocaine as well as drinking too much in the 80s so you were probably right: www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general....

22. Favorite Musical Performance in a Film Noir
Everything about this is GOLD, from the set-up, to the direction, to the energy that you can feel resonate from the celluloid, to Elisha Cook Jr.'s expression which is frankly, unsettling.

Bloody hell Michael. And also, that's quite clever I didn't know you could share your madness like that.

I'm listening to them right now for fucks sake.

That means I've been listening to little else other than Iron Maiden for nearly a year now, you cunts.

Walking away from the dentist unharmed, eagerly agreeing yes yes I’ll come back every six months!! like someone promising to go to church every week because God spared their life in a flood.

This is unearthing previously buried memories. Which actually were kind of unearthed recently when building a shelfing unit. But I think this is what those unearthed memories came from.
