I found it. The question now is: pepper sauce or marinade?

There seem to be ever so many penguins, as well.
Also, a leprechaun, to maids a milking, and a skinned and de-boned ewok.*

Just don't let anyone skate you if you are a board.
Now if you were a broad, that's a whole other story.

If you're still board isn't nothing what you do all the time?

That bit's easy, the next 6 questions however - I know I got the semaphore one right and that is it.

This sort of test/challenge is how they probably recruit people - I think joining Musk or Bezos would probably be much more fruitful to humanity than joining GCHQ  .

Took the family to see the new Star Wars film last night (there's a new Star Wars film, how come no one's heard about it? You'd think they'd advertise it in some way).
Oh boy, what a film. I absolutely loved the bit where ....
... I left the cinema.
It was so derivative and devoid of new ideas that I found myself bored by it. To be honest, I also found the inclusion of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher to be hugely irritating. Ford overacted and it looked like Fisher was just dialling in her lines. The only character I felt any affection towards, in this film, was Chewie - it's his best role to date. As for the big piece on the bridge (deliberately worded like this to avoid spoilers), it was telegraphed that this was going to happen from the moment of the "reveal" earlier on and it was like they just crossed out two characters names from the original film and replaced them with the names of the characters on the bridge.
On the plus side, the special effects were much better than the prequels.

M'colleague at work was going to let his kids watch the original trilogy before going to see Ep. VII, I've advised him against it and told him he should just take them immediately.
Stood alone, it'd be a good movie IMO - but in context I agree with all your criticisms, without trying to be spoilery. It also looks like they're going to send Ep VIII down a similar path.

Surprised you didn't like it. I haven't seen it yet, but I think I know what the bridge bit is about from your vague description.

I also found that they had reheated a lot of story from the old movies. But still: I loved every second of it!
Don't take it too seriously, it's just a movie! Maybe you should stick to "Grumpy Old Men"? Come to think of it, I think I'll call you Pete O'Grumpy from now on...

My wife and kids, felt the same way about the film as you mentioned you did, more or less.
I still have not seen it. DVD? Netflix? who knows.

I haven't seen it - I'll probably wait a while - but I was afraid of this: Disney are very good a pumping out sequels that are reminiscent enough of the original to lure the punters in...
But actual originality? Not so much.
Did the heroine have a song sequence with any wildlife? Or are they saving that for the next one? 
(And yes, I know: I'm a cynical old fart)
