but looks fun in a gory SIN CITY way I'm tempted to have a peek at that one too keef

I dressed as normal. Nor would I be worried going to a black-tie do tonight. I'm getting the distinct impression that it's the people who are ostensibly "at risk" today who are the ones who want the aggro more than any protester. For entertainment, depressingly enough

Apparently the DLC for Mirror's Edge focuses on the good points of the engine rather than the clunky indoor bits. The sequel should be spot-on PoP - Sand of Time perfected that worl and everything else since then has not been right. This latest instalment comes closest to being right but borking the combat and making the whole thing too "easy" is a shame CoD4 however - maybe it's just me. I don't like squad games and the tone of the thing makes me queasy. It's very impressively done tho'

And a list from others APRIL FOOLS' DAY FUN Somehow, the Daily Mail has got its mitts on an astonishing picture of the home secretary Jacqui Smith emerging from an Ann Summers shop with a bag full of goodies...hold on, that picture doesn't look right. Oh, you guys! It's April Fools' day again. Many of the other papers join in the annual try-to-trick-the-reader session. The Sun says the Ukraine football team have been given permission to play the full six-and-a-half minute long version of their national anthem at tonight's match against England. "Any fan who sits back down or jeers during the performance may face ejection," readers are warned. The Express tells the story of Alberto, his surname withheld to protect him from prosecution, who has rendered his Westfield sports car invisible to speed cameras using a specially formulated clear plastic film. The Telegraph tries to convince its readers that moves are afoot to harness the power generated by salmon to boil kettles And the Guardian's jape? You'd have to be a twit(ter) not to spot the anagram on page five. The Sun - Ukraine's big game refrain is 6min pain The Express - Now you see it...now you don't The Daily Mail - Oh Jacqui Telegraph - The salmon current Guardian - Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink

made up as I am to see you in this thread of all places PGC I will not have a word said against T'Road!

Guardian's is far too obvious. Poor effort Guardian to be published on twitter

Finally got around to starting Fallout 3 - that is one BLEAK game. And having read The Road by Cormac McCarthy recently it's giving me the shivers big time Then again I have not long finished Bioshock when someone lent me some Ayn Rand - the literary/game crossover continues

but sadly it might be enough to Sparke (sorry) yet another weary debate about WR & co Anyway, I'm going to concur with the Magnolia love in. Again

SteveT - sorry, I wasn't trying to tick you off, I was just more surprised you fell for it Everything about the construction and wording of it reeks of urban myth. The road to hell is paved with good intentions etc etc. Wasn't Chicken Licken a parable? Anyway now that more people know about snopes, here's hoping a few more urban myths get debunked

Moon of Alabama "oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar..."

Steve - I meet you on the street, have a lovely chat, and then you post this?? Why?

One of those moments where potential first-time attendees think "hmmmmm" It'll be fine - come along mis67, and especially mikecg, and everyone else

A first post? And they reference that? Kudos my friend

Epic Fail

I did try it Moos and wasn't a fan - but that was quite some time ago. My abiding memory is very "made for tv"

ooh what was the first Moos?

EDITED: wrong thread

She also gives millions to Kabbalah groups... Let's not call her generous so much as rich and self-serving

Funnily enough I can't get worked up about any of them Tony. But then it's not really about adopting children alone that gets my goat about Her. Jeremy: Not sure about this particular kid but the parents of the last one had plenty to say Possibly self-serving but still...

Re: Stewart Lee The case against: Those sketches. Not only are they piss-poor but they deflate whatever momentum was building on the stand-up front. The show itself is fine but not a great example of his work And I too disliked him when I first saw him. Everything else however, I love. I wouldn't call it post-modern or ironic but it is very stylised.

I'm forbidden from talking about That Woman by Lady Mac

In fairness those flicks were improved enormously when we decided to get rid of the dodgy soundtrack (that wah wah pedal !!) and employed a proper musician - I think his name was *Robby*

OZ barely as any women in it at all. I can only think of 2 off the top of my head - but it is set in a maximum security prison for men! I'm from the same place as you re: westerns. But Deadwood changed that completely - you can practically smell the place and the way it deals with the formation of the federal US is very pertinent today (lots of libertarians complaining about government interference for a start) And if you think Lovejoy is anything like his antique self, it will be a revelation!

How could I forget that! Good shout Cassius

usually works BBW
