I'm guessing everyone found the thin red line really dull with pointless pictures of dead birds then? Sometimes films need space to breathe. Bridges of Madison County, boring. Godfather? No hway*!!!!!! *as Stewie Griffin would say.

Yeah. Cassabanca was a big pile of old tosh too. Godfather was looooong and it had lots of words in it, booooring!

It was kind of meant figuratively. I don't literally turn into a sociopathic septegenarian pervert when I have gin.

Quids' answer sounds the most likely, but barring that a v quick swizz and this looks a candidate:

Does Wales count as Staycation? Off there soon.

EDT are doing it on draught at the moment. Pretty sure the Phoenix do it too. and yep........lethal.

Ha ha ha. QED methinks.

I've never heard any evidence of this in particular happening to Prisoners of War in Vietnam, though there was plenty of mistreatment, torture and extrajudicial killings, it should be pointed out that this occurred depressingly regularly on all sides, we probably have the French's 'judicious' use of the guillotine to thank for those lines being drawn early. I guess in this case it was used as a metaphor for what war will do to the young lives thrust into it and even for all those around them. Some may unexpectedly benefit, some my lose everything, but most will suffer in some form or other. Apparently the roulette coda it was lifted almost wholesale from another script the film-makers had possession of that had nothing to do with Vietnam. Top film with some amazing performances, though its still somewhat controversial to this day (can't be that controversial thinking about it as a pastiche of those scenes went on to sell some sort of chocolate selection thing). Platoon captures the experience (yeah I was there, you don't know unless you were there maaaaan) of that war better, Apocalypse Now the insanity, Full Metal Jacket the futility, but none capture the impact on the lives it touched quite like that. Casting director deserves a knighthood, all of them so young, all of them would either become their generation's greats or wonderful character actors (apart from poor John Cazale, a sad loss of wonderful talent).

Annaj + Daizie = Dulwichmum

Miles away!!! Mockney + gin = Batdog

Quick quick rescue the sheep!!! Though I must admit that there was a note of sincerity in your post I've never seen in any of your previous. Mayhap tis true.

Poor old much maligned perry. I'm partial to a drop whenever I'm in Herefordshire Wales. Bulmers/magnets can keep their sickly brews however. And how anybody can drink more than one kpppaberg without slipping into a hyperglycaemic coma is beyond me. Same goes for Adventure Bar cocktails. Health and Safety need to confiscate their sugar syrup bottles.

Unusually polite from you CC ;-P

First one on the covers album, Man Comes Around. Used to great effect at the end of Generation Kill

Denies existence of cliques clique. Never posts on memes clique. Posts on pop clique too.

We are, quite simply, not worthy!!!

Oi, when we first moved into the house we bought we literally filled it to the brim with Billy bookcases. They're brillyant (geddit). We slept in them, bathed among them, even put ornaments and books on some of them. And the best bit is that you can make a nice fire out of them after two weeks when they all fall apart. Geni?s!!

I think the 'hospitality' bar is de rigeur frankly!! I guess meet up in the bar, drink, watch outside for a bit, half time pints, followed by a couple more pints, then back outside for last 20 minutes. Poifick.

A veritable natural Ted.

Not so much the drink, more the sex, drugs and violence, how about a spot, ateazt on the su s bench, for McAvennie?

I did suggest a day, a saturdY early august if i remember

"Steve Potts" took the words out of my mouth. Le Tissier would be in there, Schmeichel too, I'll have a think about he others. Best of luck big John Hartson, my colleague announced today that he's undergoing chemotherapy today and him with 2 very younguns, so a big fingers crossed to him too.

I'm the one that looks like Kermit apparently ;-P Sean's the one who looks like paulie gualtieri!!

Ive said it before, for sheer ability to amaze and delight, Bergkamp remains my favourite import and he could produce at interbnational level too. Plus a nice chap too.

I'm pretty sure it'll be repeated ad nauseum on BBC3 for some time. It's all available on iPlayer for a week or so. I thought it rather good. Really dark like some of the scifi drama I grew up with, survivors, day of the triffids (which is being repeated at the moment). It suffered form the usuL problems that Russell T has, plot holes the size of Cardiff being his worst point, too much unsubtle politicking, but given the chance to run wih the late scheduled drama he teLly did run with big themes about right and wrong and compromise and appeasement, and it was well paced and frankly pretty exciting stuff. Top marks without question go to he marvellous Peter Capaldi, brilliant performance.
