Yes, I've heard good things about the latest Planet of the Apes film. For some reason, I didn't finish watching the previous one (just didn't engage with it at all).

I have a problem where I like science-fiction and "bloke" films, but my other half doesn't, and she hardly leaves the house and let me have a "bloke's night in", so time to watch the films I like is limited.

I can identify with that, Pete.

My girlfriend and I have quite differing tastes in movies. Things like Dunkirk, Planet of the Apes, Bond, Bourne etc are right up my street.

She however only really likes comedies... :roll:

Planning to go and see planet of the apes in one of the nice Everyman cinemas and the wife wants to see it too. Result 👍

But she has no interest in Dunkirk so maybe a boys one there.

We saw Planet of the Apes last weekend and planning to see Dunkirk on Saturday night. Result! 👍 ...although I may have to go see a comedy or 'chick flick' at some point to show fair play... :lol:

I just had an email from Land Rover informing me that it's time for their mechanics to somehow break something on my old Evoque.

I guess no one's told them that I haven't owned the car for over a month.

This means I'm going to get a phone call from a sales manager next month informing me that my PCP is almost up and would I like a preferential deal on a Velar.

The deal would be zero deposit and £100 a month for three years less £100 for every day the Velar spends at the dealers having faults rectified.

Could be quite profitable for you.

Sounds almost tempting.

If it weren't for the fact I'd need two cars to sustain that. Even the thought of compensation per screw-up can't really entice me back to the brand.

They'd also need to throw in some dark sunglasses, a false beard and a large hat, to help with the embarrassment of having a RR.
