Westworld. Getting really tasty now The stories can now go anywhere - they resisted the urge to let the robots go mental in episode 1 so now have a great series.

Westworld. What a show.

House of the Year. I've no idea why it's on but I'm watching it.

Just watched last week's Westworld...now I know what you guys have been talking about its brilliant! Just got this week's to watch then I'm all caught up!! I haven't been able to watch them because my partner has been away for the past week so she asked me not to watch anything until she was back!!

Apparently Fidel Castro is dead.

Tons of Cuban-Americans are on the TV spouting off about how their homeland is saved, their people are free, etc.

Idiots.

The guy hasn't been in office for years. Absolutely nothing...or at most very little, is about to change, except the sign over the door.

The Guns of Navarone. I love an old war film

Wales v South Africa

The Grand Tour...

Got a chromecast so I can download it on the phone and "cast" it to the telly. Well impressed.

Not sure I've ever seen a Saffa team as poor as that one.

Bones.

Weird show.

Thor.

Everest.

Whilst I can understand stand the thrill of wanting to stand on the highest point on earth, I wouldn't want to go through the climb to get there.

I've done a bit of walking in the Himalayas, nothing like Everest just a few base camps and passes. I can't begin to describe how difficult altitude makes even the simplest of tasks.

Altitude is something I find fascinating. I've done a lot of climbing - some at very high altitude and its difficult to describe how difficult things become.

I remember one of the first times at altitude in the alps (about 15,000ft) staying in a small lodge while acclimatising and getting in and out of a bunk bed was exhausting.

I've been to everest and I can understand wanting to climb it. I wouldn't because i think its been over commercialised. I've climbed across the valley (just of 20,000ft) and it is incredible.

Wales were 2-1 on with the bookies before the start of the game. You could see why. SA were all over the place. No power, poor handling, no confidence. Weird seeing them like that.

Ben Hur, the remake.

I know it gets slagged off in the reviews but it's a decent Sunday film.

F1 - yawn.

I've been up to 14,000 feet in Nepal and 18,000 feet in Kashmir. Kashmir was by far the worst and we'd had 2 months to acclimatising before we did the trek. I was really fit at the time and the last 50 meters into the camp took me about 30 minutes, just couldn't get enough air in!

I was quite lucky compared to most, some of them got massive head aches and the "Both Ends"!

The Pamir range is the highest area I think I've ever been. I was very young & fit back then, but it still took a few weeks to get used to it as best I recall.
On a positive when we go skiing these days I'm never even slightly effected in the same way as my friends, even in the highest resorts. I do wonder if maybe that could be a legacy of those years.
