  1. wrong path with this.
  2. Captain beneath Colonel, like it, but non.
  3. the chaps at the lovely http://forecast.io have done a geeky version so that you can see the range of data that makes up the predictions. http://forecast.io/lines/
  4. strictly speaking 'wee wee' wasn't an actual attempt! Ok herewigoagain. Did he live under the Colonel? Chicken wasn't what he liked to lick off his fingers.
  5. Catherine Earnshaw, Wuthering Heights
  6. Ooooh!! Number one as in wee wee? Alright I'll shut up now!! ;)
  7. Sorry, not trying to be pedantic, need all the help I can get as I'm floundering a bit with this one. 'she is' or something she has?
  8. Is that Kate's number one? In which case is that abbreviated or possessive? Or the first Kate in a collection thereof?
  9. Lily Bloom - How the Dead Live. not that she was especially happy thinking about it.
  10. Loved them. Some of them trying too hard not to be the Eiffel Tower....badly.
  11. Napoleon dynamite?
  12. I don't feel right as I said, plus I'm going to be travelling for the next 16 hours or so so will be incommunicado, you have it.
  13. I'd feel wrong if I got the answer as I've never read the book nor had the foggiest until the giveaway. Really must get round to it as it's a classic, but am I too old for it now, in the same way I now watch John Hughes films thinking what a bunch of self obsessed idiots they all are?
  14. Of course Pauline Fowler's voice is nothing to do with accent, the east London often sounding cool and can sound damn sexy. It's all about the tone, which is ear piercing and stuck on the aforementioned volume 11. She was a damn fine filly in her time mind!!
  15. At least the expansion of the brickwork on platform 4 is in keeping.
  16. Actually Brian Sewell's irritatingness is at least partly directly class related!!
  17. Perhaps it's service dependent. The 08:19 thameslink is a particularly busy one so is delayed very regularly (i'd say about 80% of the time) as I guess it suffers from the cumulative knock on effects of high traffic all the way down the line. Though to be fair my home -> nursery -> station routine is very tight and I'd miss that train a lot more than I do if it wasn't for those delays!!! thaks sj *blushes*
  18. Ah bums, my last opportunity to do, was finally going to take part. Never mind, The Barry Barry Amble it is!
  19. Headphones always works for me if you're in that kind of job
  20. "I think most travellers know exactly what train their platform leaves from though" Nobobdy knows when those trains are leaving, as that's seemingly governed using some sort of random number generator :) In my experience people stop there to find out how delayed their trains are, probably to do some sort of bus/train guesswork weighing up. In the old ticket office they had a habit of doing this right in fron of the door by stopping suddenly so won't miss that. Also having normal gates, as opposed to the tap sensors right by the chokepoint door where people would suddenly stop and do their business whilst three flows of crossing traffic attempt to defy the laws of physics about different objects occupying the same space, will be a welcome change. It'll be interesting to see how it orks over the next few days as people adjust their choice of carriage on the way home for optimal leaving journey, but this morning's outbound journey, I thought people were a little more evenly spaced than usual. Will be interesting to see how it copes with the victoria trains last minute shifts of platfor too, I'm not on htat train any more thank god, but I guess there'll be a few fewer missed trains as a result of those, which can only be good.
  21. UncleBen in negative opinion shocker. I though it was terrific. I mean flawed, too many strands not really pursued properly, but it has good performances especially by the two leads and some great supporting roles. THere were moments when the underlying ideas are being left for us to work through and then the lopsided moment when they are paraded for us by the writers during Stella's phone call with Paul, like some Bond villain desperate to share his genius. Great to have a really strong female character too, considering that she's a woman who refuses to play the roles that male society demands of women, it's rather telling that UncleBen finds her ridiculous!! Anyway, nice to have something a bit cerebral too. The title clearly points to the Satan myth, and the ideas pursued are to do with the exercise of power and its relationship with temptation, each character experiencing different degrees of 'Fall' in relation to the nature of their sin. Stella, far from being ridiculous is actually quite amoral, a condition which cushions her from the fallout of her decisions that can occur around her. Even Paul who isn't a psycopath but severly damaged goods, reveals the very human dicvhotomy of being capable of great evil while still being capable of a strong (internal) sense of moral rectitude. More like this please...
  22. Knowing john she's probably just said "Romans they go the house". That or he doesn't like arthurian types.
  23. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday?
  24. HAppy Birthday, great idea!! That's not ACTUALLY you is it?!?!?!
  25. El Pibe

    craft beer

    definitely room for better. I'm quite bored of flatter, sweeter heineken, carlsberg, Budweiser and bloody 'bullmers'.
