"The mating ritual in this species is reportedly quite remarkable, with coupling taking place while the two intertwined individuals are hanging by a mucus string from a branch or other aerial structure" Phwoar! Pass the kleenex..

Yeah, I was talking about the Haggis Crash. I actually recorded it by mistake thinking it was the Croney one. Didn't it win best picture? I just don't get it. It wasn't even a case of me finding it ok, or good, but not really good.. It just plain didn't work for me at all, down to the point of the dialogue being slightly embarrassing and suspension of disbelief going down the pan.

That's her - the one who lost the PR battle with Florence Nightingale (surprise)

I seem to be missing something with 'Crash'. Coincidentally we started watching it for the first time just this week. About 40 minutes in (after a reasonably promising opening) we unanimously (and independently) decided is was disengaging, unconvincing and generally a bit rubbish. So much so that we turned it off.

I honestly can't say, Horsebox - it's just too rude. And blowing it up with a straw would be your best bet - if you must.

Every time I have to go into a Post Office I feel slightly depressed. Dunno why, but I do.

Not just any old people's homes, Keef - poorer people's homes. This surely gives us the right to piss all over them from a great height at every opportunity. That's my feeling anyway.

I'm happy for them to merrily smoke themselves to death if they live in a shithole in Mitcham with smashed windows and have to listen to drum and bass through poorly insulated walls all night. But I do get angry when I see them smoking away in council-owned properties which are in parts of London I can't afford to live in myself. That just doesn't seem right.

What's a pretentious name, these days? Which ones have you heard?

I'm a big Vinnie Price fan. I love 'Masque of the Red Death' and 'Witchfinder General' and can't help watching when they get shown.

Good point, Lozzy. And if sex was banned that would cut-down on the urge to smoke as well.

I'll check that mutha out, Lozzy. Thanks to all.

It will help them start saving-up. I love that way that a number of fag brands attempt to sound loosley associated with the blue-blooded classes (Rothmans, Superkings, Royals). The Proles must lap that sort-of thing up.

I might let your wife look at them, Keef. She looks like the trustworthy sort. I did initially think of Flickr, but after an (amittedly cursory) inspection I was put-off by the low freebie photo limit, talk of payments US dollars and general yahoo-ness of it all. As much as anything on the grounds that it if put me off even slightly, Auntie Thingy would lose interest immediately. I liked Photobox because it's just a case up upload, print, next day BOSH. And their customer services seems small enough to be immediate and personal when I had some queries. They do deliver overseas for a couple of quid extra.. but with one of our Earth Pounds buying a slap-up feed for 8 in, say, Australia, they might be put-off by the cost.

Having your film 'in foreign' with subtitles is definitely an advantage in the horror genre. I still haven't seen 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. It's recorded on my PVR though. Amusingly, for some reason starts playing automatically after after a particular episode of 'In The Night Garden' ends. I ought to find-out how to stop it doing that.

I do like a good fun horror film but haven't found any of them 'scary' since I was 14. I thought 'Wolf Creek was something different at the time but it's all over now with Saw XIIVVVVV etc The only stuff I genuinely find hard to watch is ultra-realism. The 'knife fight' scene in Saving Private Ryan springs to mind as a good example. That scene really touched a nerve.

Don't get me wrong.. some of my best friends are fitness instructors, but..

Would you recommend www.bimingle.com as a source for such information?

Taking-up the reins of the digital/online printing thread.. I'm looking for a place to store, manage, print and share our faaamily photos. I tried Photobox and liked it (and the prints too) but I forgot that half the point of doing was so that the faaamily could order prints too. And much of the faaamily lived overseas. Any ideas?

Isn't Northern Rock currently the safest place to put your money - alongside National Savings? A friend of mine assures me that the Bank of England would 'never let a high street UK bank/building society go under with swathes of the general public losing their savings'. Is he right?

Surely the king of urban myths is one about Bob Holness playing the saxophone solo on 'Baker Street'.
