Also, there’s no visible means of support.

Happy birthday to the composer of the theme music to the nonexistent 70s private detective TV series “Chuck Taggart, Private Eye!”
That’s one hell of a story. I suppose it’s about time I told it…

There's an episode in Blackadder 3 where Edmond uses made-up words to convince Samual Johnson that he's missed stuff from his dictionary. I have been using these same words in work meetings and reports for decades without ever being challenged on their authenticity.

50 years ago I was a 5 year old boy living in Barnet, developing an obsession with aircraft of all types. We lived in an area often overflown by planes landing at or taking off from Elstree aerodrome, the closest general aviation airfield which was a few miles away to the north west.-

I'm sorry, Moviedle, but today's movie isn't actually a movie. Please get a grip. This is like the time you chose 'Under The Skin' but the credits were from an unrelated short film of the same name. Do better.
