Which reminds me, Foo Fighters are releasing a show where they travel around America recording songs in different studios along the way for their latest album. Think it's called Sonic Highway or similar.


Not sure whether I'm looking forward to it or not. Could be interesting and they seem nice enough guys, but...

Nothing INTENTIONALLY good anyway - the Metallica one was gold from start to finish tho'


Should be said I also have a genuine soft spot for the Flaming Lips doc - "Fearless Freaks" - not sure that's band-produced

Do you mean the old "year and a half in the life of Metallica" one where they recorded the black album then went on tour (including cool behind the scenes footage from the Freddy Mercury tribute concert)?


That was/is wicked.


Not seen the later ones where they're all angry and pissed off.

HBO making it, which gives me some hope it's be good.

Has any one caught Enlightened at all, a strange little Laura Dern vehicle by HBO. About a big pharma/chem exec who has a breakdown then turns a new leaf after a rather new age treatment retreat, but her new priniples don't help much when you can't escape yourself or your life.


I'm actually really enjoying it, almost british style bleak comedy done with californian (nebraskan? I dunno) glow.

If you want to be totally baffled & enthralled at the same time, I suggest you watch one of the most ingenious films I've ever seen.


The Prestige - Sunday night 10.00pm BBC2


Be warned though, if you blink, you'll lose track of the plot. Plus you really have to watch it twice in order to figure out what you've just seen so hope it is either repeated or available on iplayer.

    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
