Wife is partial to 27 dresses which is achingly bad, makes no sense, has whiny protagonist, utterly mirthless...i could go on.

Wedding Singer perfectly acceptable entertainment, for that sort of thing.

I think i mentioned the time i helped a lady (or whatever rosieh) carry her 2 heavy suitcases down the stairs, and then she tore into her empty handed husband hanging around impatiently at the bottom.

Oh, and Love Actually. I genuinely want to kill people if I come into contact with it even briefly.

although in reality it's probably any of a bucket load of fantasy films shot on canon 5D for about 30 quid, that cycle on the syfy channel.

I had the misfortune to watch Lars Von Trier's Antichrist with Willem Defoe and the lovely Charlotte Gainsbourg. It definitely has a shout for it. Having almost literally died of boredom when i watched the critically lauded Dancer in the Dark I should really have known better. I thought I was with you on Drive Bob, until i realised I was thinking of Crash*, which whilst not the worst, may qualify for most overrated. *the one that won all the oscars, rather than the better one based on the inimically wonderful J G Ballard novel ...holly hunter *rubs thighs*

that was an all or nothing gambit by andy there, our love of him this side of the border already a bit half-fearted. If he'd been either English or likeable he'd have been a peer of the realm by now!!! That's a point, will resident scots have to give their peerages and knighthoods back?

yep, I'd say Scotland did disproportionately well out of empire as it embraced it with some gusto, contributing more engineers, goevernors, businessmen aventurers and soldiers than its size would suggest. Mind you so did Ireland, but it tended to do less well out of it as a whole and had a very different relationship, but that's another story.

:)

because they'll need someone to subsidise them once London's coin dries up?

what rahrahrah said.

I got Bigoted Woman, then No

"I think I fall on the side of regreting the fact that the Internet was invented (just) or certainly the Social Media side of it" I know exactly where you're coming from, but it's just a reflection of humanity innit. Library have always been filled with fantastic knowledge, including how to make gunpowder, and jilly cooper novels. And shuttle/ferry/famine jokes used to sweep across the nation at the speed of sound. It's just now we are more influenced by american crazies rather than our home grown ones, and it happens at the speed of light. THe sheer weight of anti knowledge does seem to have hit some sort of critical mass. Every other post on facebook seems to be a reduced version of the protocols of the elders of zion these days and i've had enough. Instant unfriending for each one i reckon.

looked for it on beeb and enjoyed the juxtaposition of the top 2 stories 1: Mass rallies mark referendum climax 2: Err on a G-spot

if i was being pedantic, given the inadequcies of politicians, economists, polemicists, sociologists and analysts at having the foggiest idea at the correlation between policy and result and evenworse at predicting the future results, I'd posit that there is no difference between the political and the emotional. But yes, i think most going for the EU exit are ideologically/emotionally driven than objectrively so, but then of course they'd say that they are objective and anyone hoping to stay in the EU is driven by ideology/emotion/fear. As for the cornish thing earlier, utterly ridiculous, but if it happens then the plunge into balkanisation will headlong!!

that's what i find so depressing. and the same feeling will soon predominate in europe with our opt outs and our threats to leave, eventually they'll just want fUK or whatever it'll be called, to just fOff

do you have a venn diagram vgrant, just curious

especially if its sour grapes cake ;)

I'm pretty sure that like everything else all the bribes will be paid for by london. I can't abide anyone having their cake and eating it, hence I'd rather they just left now.

I'm hoping Gary Glitter has single handedly prevented its resurgence!!

naaa, even when i was young and travelling i found your full moon party type hippy utterly insufferable. And to be honest anyone who has the guts to make a business, even one as wanky as the last supper, complete with prices quoted in pieces of silver and ersatz roman shoe leather scents wafting around, gets respect from me. It's the ones railing about injustice, and bartering the life out of their fake hessian coffee sack to furnish their overpriced flat off brick lane that mumsie is paying for....in their 30s!!!! that get my back up.

All these last minute bribes make me hope they vote yes, draw a line under it once and for all. I started out a stalwart no, now I just hope we never have to go through this shit again, and a no vote will just mean 10 years.

I read "Having a new baby being burgled knocked off scooter" as a single sentence, took me a while to unravel it. "so, you left your baby on a stolen scooter whilst someone picked its pockets?" Commisserations on all counts, except the baby obviously.

unmanageable as in ungovernable?
