I know it's only Tuesday, however I've had my nephew(17 1/2) working with me through the Work Placement Scheme at the local High School, this week until Friday. WOW, what a great kid he is, I feel heaps better at the end of a day, my knees usually ache something bad. He'll happily go to the ute to get something, ask if there is anything else I want, ask if  something needs to be taken to the ute.
He takes his boots off before entering a property, without being asked, talks with manners to the people we have contact with throughout the day.
There are good kids out there.

This would be pretty kewl to see..
Reminds me of the movie The Picture Show Man.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076542/


The quiet time is over for Jan Thorp, organiser of the Moving Picture Show.

Jan's tribute to the silent movie era, The Moving Picture Show returns next month with a screening of the 1928 silent comedy classic, Speedy.

After suspending screenings because of COVID restrictions, The Moving Picture Show is presenting a rare chance for movie-goers to return to the era of silent movies.

Speedy is set in New York, a place described in the film's opening credits as a city "where everybody is in such a hurry that they take Saturday's bath on Friday so they can do Monday's washing on Sunday."

The movie tells the story of 'Speedy' Swift who saves from extinction the city's last horse-drawn taxi, owned by his girlfriend's grandfather.

The film includes what is considered cinema's first great New York City chase scene.

"Speedy stars Harold Lloyd who is best known for crazy chases in Model T Fords through the Streets of New York," Jan said.

"There's a wonderful scene in Coney Island on death-defying rides plus a real baseball game with Babe Ruth in a cameo role," she said.

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day.

"Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?"

Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a Valentine to?

"Vladimir Putin," she says.

"Why Vladimir Putin?"  her father asks, in shock.

"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little Jewish girl could have enough love to give him a Valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. He could go all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."

Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with new found pride.

"Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."

"I know", Melissa says, "and once that gets him out in the open, we could shoot the bastard!"

Not sure, they did film something there at one stage to compare it to a house that they followed for the whole build.
