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.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
