This is my absolute all time favourite. I hope you have seen the directors cut as it's about an hour longer than the released version and only adds to the story.


PS I refer to Cinema Paradiso

What about Watership Down? When I was a kid it was one of those films that the folks would put on for the kids to watch to keep them occupied when they were bbqing or having diner parties or whatever suburban parents did in the 80s. I don?t think they ever watched it themselves they just thought it was a happy happy cartoon about bunnies.


In reality it emotionally traumatised a whole generation of kids.

Hear hear Brendan

I watched it in exactly such circumstances. Very sad. But also really scary! What's that really tough old rabbit- Sergeant or something that is in charge of the prison camp warren or whatever it is that they get stuck in.

That is one scary rabbit.

and of course bright eyes at the end to make you cry

Declan - I've seen three or four cuts of Cinema Paradiso, and I think the shorter one is by far the best; I really don't like the one where he goes off to find the girl. Isn't it supposed to be about how life doesn't provide answers? The stroy Alfredo tells about standing outside the girls house for 99 nights is the same thing.


Fantastic date movie tho. Guaranteed.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
