I admit I’m apparently embarrassingly naïve with regards to your island’s variable weather affecting locations within miles of each other, not to mention it’s sort of creepy to boot. Anyway, to make amends, details on the upcoming Vol. 2 for you UKers and Ireland-ers - https://shop.bfi.org.uk/pre-order-pl...y-box-set.html

It's an oceanic climate. Given we have so little land between an ocean and a sea, often the weather changes. You think that's creepy? I've been in a 3 mile villages with microclimates where it's raining hail then, just a mile outside them. It's a 19 degree celsius day.

You are correct
For the sake of lurking non-members who can’t visualize your jpg -

The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA - http://www.blu-raydisc.com/en/index.aspx) –

A. Consists of a Board of Directors from a variety of entertainment and technology corporations/companies as well as Contributors
B. The Board approves key issues and sets overall strategy
C. A member of the Blu-ray.com forum once served as Secretary for BDA meetings
D. Has held meetings in LordoftheRings (Bob’s) mainland neck of the woods, namely Vancouver (Canada)
E. Will establish a spec for 8K HDR WCG Blu-ray on the order of the liklihood of a person being hit by lightning
F. All of the above.

[LordoftheRings]

I'd go A.

[Penton-Man]

Sorry Bob, good try but wrong answer. Upon rethinking your choice in terms of totality, a hint not to marginalize the popularity of my favorite city in all of North America, e.g. from June 2011 –

I thought about it but then ... E. wouldn't fit.

Perhaps it could be B. or C. ?

D. ?

Your gut is functioning well, so correct.

That’s a red herring Thee outside colors in the photo are not true to life. The typical tail fin insignia looks like that on the aircraft shown here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRC-30

Ironically, in my neck of the woods that ^ American Gods post YouTube reads –
"Video unavailable
The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

So for court intermède, let’s try, for all to share...

Ironic too indeed; "American Gods"

That's why I didn't go with F. ... lack of precision on E.

Ok, here's another test ...
