may you bring them good fortune!!

Thinking about it I judged her harshly, the character's basically a well meaning but spoilt girl who a slightly screwed up childhood. I thought the actress was a similar Californian dilettante, but I've found out she's actually Swedish, so I'm thinking her acting ability was a lot better than I originally gave her credit for. And you're not wrong, she made the screen her own when ever she wandered around in that outfit!!! Rorshach was so well played though, really mesmerising performance. The whole cinema chuckled uncomfortably when he screams 'You don't get it yet do you, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked up with me' Great stuff and glad you enjoyed it.

It is indeed an excellent show, but couldn't quote from it, I haven't watched it enough.

I didn't mind Parachutes, and Chris Martin seemed like a nice chap back then and came across well in interviews. Then he started to believe the hype, got himself an A list wife (not that I've ever been able to stand her) and hung around photographers so he could punch them. So basically, what Keef said.

At ?13.50 it's not cheap, and I don't think it needs to be on such a big screen, but it is pretty awesome, and the sounds is as good as you'll get in this country full stop, so on balance, why not (if you can get hold of a ticket). Mind you, you can take beer in with you at the Picture House and you don't need to annoy 150 people to go to the toilet (knew I shouldn't have had a couple of pints before the film).

Just got back from seeing it at the imax. Basically I skipped home, and welled up several times it was so lovingly recreated. It goes without saying it's not as good as the book, but very good it still is. Not perfect, Silk Spectre is too pretty and couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, while nite Owl looked distractingly like the love child of Alan Partridge and Chevy Chase. Also I can't for a moment believe that anybody who hadn't read it could work out what the hell's going on, but with all that I still highly recommend it.

So some shonky businessmen who care about noone but themselves do some dubious deals, the club suffers and fans are martyrs? I'm guessing everyone who lost their pensions to the Maxwells simply saw their chickens come home to roost and should just get over it huh?

Excellent detective work. RIght, that one solved, move along, next please :)

Yes, I do find it quite affecting, but it's lovely to see how well maintained they are. There's a big WW2 memorial over near the east gate too. I'm guessing you're right that most of them died of their wounds over here, especially as you see not a few from 1919 which would suggest that too.

My wife would kill for me to take that much interest in her hair. Chap should have been chuffed that you noticed!!

who'd a thought, here's a photo of just some of them canadian ones by a budding local photographer

I was wondering upon a scenario where the extra time prior to copulation might be an evolutionary advantage. How about a slightly weedy (that's his genes dictating that) mayfly who just couldn't be arsed to compete in the mayhem of the one day matefest that mayflys have to go through. Then the following day, mere hours before his death he happens upon a mate with a similar affinity to live a bit longer (possibly due to a genetic propensity to conserve energy). They find each other easily due to lack of competition. 10 years later when their larvae emerge as mayflys a few of them end up in a similar scenario. 50 generations later you have a definite new branch of the species, the 2 day mayfly. Am I barking up the wrong reed?

10??% (cos my power amp goes up that far) what quids said. during all of this I gather auditors dug up some iffy accounting at SU and suddenly an out of court settlement looked a very viable option to both teams, one who needs this gone so we can concentrate on getting a new buyer and not being the first major scalp to the credit crunch and the other who realises that (as Quids said) it's the best they can get. Echo Keef, sorry sorry stink about the lot and thank god it'll finally be over.

You haven't convinced or explained though, just misdirected, while chucking a host of straw men about. And maybe 100,000 people have died from so called western medicine, but a drop in the ocean from the hundreds of millions who's lives have been improved, transformed or saved by it. Give me bonjela over anrica (or whatever) for a mouth ulcer any day of the week. And as for cholera, would that be homeopathic water with salt and sugar added? Amazing the power of homeopathy. How's it coming along with that AIDS treatment?

I must say that I've generally warmed to the idea of proportional representation, despite its many pitfalls, because in my entire GE voting life not one paper through that ballot box has mattered one iota as I've had the joy of living in safe seats. I have been known to vote pragmatically on local issues, but saldy my choices to end to be even more marginal than in the nationals

Sorry TLS, i realised that anger got the better of me and I waved my magic wand. I didn't want to have to do this but: Nope Spain. I did school in hertforshire, but have lived all over, oop north, abroad and London for 15 years NHS mother on pittance, auto didactic, working class immigrant father who worked hard and did ok. I never hungered and always had shoes, and we had a telly and stuff. Went through uni entirely on government money and personal debt. Happily consider myself middle class though. As i said, lived slightly above poverty line for 4 years in london until took even further heavy burden of debt to retrain myself and lift myself up financially speaking. bingo Moved here many years and maintain it's the best city on earth. I will live elsewhere because I want to experience other things, and in reverse of what my father did for me, my kids will probably be better off schooled in Spain (plus it's a flip sight warmer) I love England, nay Britain (the welsh are tops too you know, and my mum's side come from Scotland via the windies...err and germany) I love so much about this country and the people, but it's far from perfect and some things have beeen getting worse, particularly the sense of personal liberty that was a real factor in what this country stood for. I don't even know what "supremely indefferent" means, maybe you meant ambivalent which i most certainly am, foreign adventuring for instance should have been consigned to the dustbin of our imperial past. Happy? Now, that election in full....

Yes, join us. Vote Liberal, the party of the sanctimonious, hypocritical, affluent white middle class, ignorant, naive, hippy, la la land masses. Go on you know you want to!!!

and can water be infused with memory using a wav file?

Just had a look. They'er pretty leading questions aren't they. A)introduce blah within a month of the election b)oppose something because they say it's baaaad c)something nondescript

. grrrrr

OK our academy wouldn't exactly give us a squad, but it's a damned good start, what with Carrick and Lampard 2 of the best central midfielders, and cole as good a player you could hope for, build a team around the boy they should. So Noble might struggle to hold his place but great prospect for the future, I give him 2 more seasons with us sadly, Sears, remains to be seen whether he's just promise or the real thing, but if the latter, maybe 4 seasons tops :( I can't really count Tevez as west ham, he just visited briefly, nice lad though. And give me Green over James any day thanks very much. I'd have Yossi back though!!

quite right there jimbob, poetic licence (i wasn't really talking about northern ireland...shhhhhh) ;-)

I think a jolly is just a good time, though there might be some implication that someone else is paying for it. In my example the bar manager actually shouted a round to the bar!!!

With you on that one Atila, maybe when sanity returns to the game it can be that way again.

Happened to me twice Shu, second time i was in a bar having lunch, police came in and said that noone was to leave as there was a device outside. Looking out the windows we could see the whole area had been cordoned off. Everyone's reaction? Massive cheer and the rest of the afternoon jollying it up at the bar. I got back to the office just before home time to find out one of my Kiwi colleagues had spent the whole afternoon hiding in the central stairwell. Times like that really show the best side of the Brits I must say.
