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 good ever came from band-produced rockumentary efforts."


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.

      Bitey Fox.

      It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.

      I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
