Why it reminds me of The Queen's Gambit?
ReplyDeleteBecause it is also about chess?
DeleteThat looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteShould be fun!
DeleteMalpractice seems so stressful. My infusion nurse worked many years as a head nurse in the emergency room and she’s always telling me horror stories from her time working there. The gun situation from the clip was one she recently told me happened to her on one of her shifts. I couldn’t work in healthcare.
ReplyDeleteGun situations, sadly, happen both in hospitals, banks and shops, nobody is really safe if they work with open public. Schools too in your country.
DeleteSchools, birthday parties, movie theaters, concerts... It's sad when you're conditioned to immediately start looking for exits when out in public.
DeleteYour country is way too obsessed with guns.... almost nobody here owns guns unless you live in mountains or something.
DeleteI don't know any of those names. That's when it hits you: you're old.
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so, Dez.
You are not old you just do not follow your spy as often as you should, otherwise you would have know about me drooling after these hunksters for years now...
