America turned Red- and Neck once again!

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 6 Nov

We can assume Trump wont be asking for A recount then? This is a fair election result I guess. We knew it would be close but women just wont vote for women there and so a woman can never be President , 55% of America's women voted...

My top documentaries #1 -Bowling for Columbine

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 28 Oct

I was in America at the time of the Columbine shooting. It was on the news and although a big story no one seemed that surprised or, indeed, bothered. It seems the right to bear arms is more important than the right for nutcases...

My Top 10 documentaries # 2 - “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 27 Oct

So it’s pretty fair to say Spike Lee makes some great movies, none more so than ‘Do the Right Thing’, comfortably in my all time top ten. But he has a huge chip on his shoulder when it comes to racial injustice in America,...

My Top 10 documentaries #1 - Senna

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 22 Oct

So Formula 1 gets bigger every year with more races than ever and the Netflix show, Drive to Survive, bringing in millions more fans on top of that. But that show is more entertaining than the racing these days as its too safe and...

My top 10 documentaries @3 - Twenty Feet From Stardom

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 20 Oct

So there are a lot of documentaries around about race and prejudice in America that make the top 50 lists but for me they are revered for the message rather than the content, rarely subtle, often polemics and not up for arguments....

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 17 Oct

One of the first news stories I remember as a kid was seeing the guy on the TV that tight-roped between the top the Twin Towers of the World Trade centre in Manhattan. He had no safety rope as such and if he messed up he fell...

Being an Englishman I don’t know the full story and life of O.J Simpson so wanted to find out, this 8 hour parted out documentary rather brilliant at that task. I knew he played American football and a record breaking player in...

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 11 Oct

Did anyone see the Northern Lights this week? As a kid they were only in the Arctic Circle. Now they are all over the place! I suspect there are more sightings as social media spreads the word they are out but more importantly...

Top 10 documentaries #5 = Fahrenheit 9/11

Hurricane Milton -The Day After Tomorrow storm?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 8 Oct

The category only goes to 5 but they will be rewriting the scale if this thing keeps getting stronger, 890 millibars center. 882 is the record low. That lifts the ocean up by 15-20 feet at the core and pushes it out to all parts,...

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 25 Sep

In the UK we have had 48 hours of heavy rain as the same low pressure swirled around the UK like a spinning top before it fell over yesterday and moved away in The Channel and off to France. It was anticyclonic so sucking up warm...

Surely its time for John Wick to take Trump out?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 15 Sep

Looks like another assassination attempt on Trump this weekend. It wont be the last. He needs to talk away to keep breathing. I always feel Trump despises the type of people (not their votes) who vote for him and now they have...
