Resting is very important too. Both for humans and steak. At least three minutes in a warm (not hot) oven.

It's baa-baric.

Hmmm, there is a film being released stateside this month, starring Marky Mark Wahlberg, in the eponymously titled adaptation of the modern classic game - Max Payne. From the trailer it looks possibly the greatest film ever, or possibly the worst - with the scales tipping slightly towards the latter. Look out for a brief cameo by Marlo Stansfield from The Wire. Bloody hell though, that were a great computer game!

TO DEATH!?

It's bloody marvellous! All of the Peep Show series just waiting for me. For nowt. I've only just discovered it.

Start buying tinned goods Sue. And a generator. Do you know how to use a shotgun? You should learn. Then buy one.

Sarah Palin dismisses the idea that people should vote for Obama in her own eloquent style:

Keef, I think I want to kill myself. Ted, ditto. But bravo. It's like Mark from Peep Show in his 50s.

Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Epic.

Old people. On mobility scooters. In the road. Or on the pavement. Get. Out. Of. My. Way. Your Dad has made a noble decision for all of us PGC.

season 2 is sooo different to the others but is possibly my favourite. The story it tells is one even less explored than the normal urban decay. Without giving stuff away my only gripe is that very few of the characters re-appear in later series. But a dockers breakfast! Has to be seen to be believed!!

Oh for the love of all that is holy! Why, just for once, can't this Labour government act like it's got a pair. Mandleson!! Again? Beckett!! Again? That's it chaps, look to the future.

If Mockney Piers doesn't like this I'll eat my alt.country stetson: Guardian article about First Aid Kit - "dazzling, pine-scented folk that sounds deeply in thrall to the country-infused Americana of Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and also gives a nod to the more recent twists added by Conor Oberst and Bon Iver."

As a Taurean I stubbornly refuse to believe a word of it. And as a right-minded individual who has a basic understanding of how the universe works I think it's the biggest load of codswallop around.

Damn, that was my plan.

Bit of stuff?

Surely it's because the northern end is at the 'bottom' of the hill.

Tell you what PGC, you pay for 'em and I'll order as many gins and tonic as you can drink for the two of us - whether I sound like a wally or not.

Spilling? That's just how Brendan pronounces it. Spell it like you say it, eh Bren? The whole Star Trek thing over split infinitives is artisitc license. "Boldy to go where no man has gone before" sounds dreadful! The ones that I can never use, despite their apparent correct-ness are compound plurals. The plural is added to the original noun rather than the secondary, so you should say: "I'll have two gins and tonic please" rather than "gin and tonics" but really, who's the one who's going to sound like a spanner. Or courts martial, poets laureate etc etc. Pah.

You, Moos, keep thy opinion to thee-self.

Aye, Happy Birthday BB. Best wishes.

Aye, who knew what that funny 'search' box in the top right corner was for, eh? Just when you think you've thought of something witty and amusing to say, you find out some smug git said it first 17 months ago.

Yep, sounds good to me. Four tables of five people with the winners of each going on to a final and two or three walking away with the cash. It's not a casino so there's no "comps" and everyone there will be drinking and maybe eating before or after (if they go out early!). Over to you Mr Smokiewoodlands....

From the DCMS: A limited amount of low stakes, social poker may be played in pubs. There is a stakes limit of ?5 per player per game (not per hand), and the aggregate stakes limit for pub poker is ?100 per day for each premises. So, for example, a pub could run a daily poker game involving 20 players staking ?5 each. The maximum prize for a game of poker played in a pub is also ?100. No charge or entry fee may be made for participating in pub poker and, as with clubs, no deductions or levies may be made from either stakes or prizes.
