Saw it on Saturday/ I hadn't realised that it was based on a book. I quite enjoyed the movie & thought Smith did a good job. Going & reading about the book I can see how you'd be disappointed. I'll need to look for that. Interesting idea.


I also enjoyed it because my girlfriend suggested going to see a zombie flick! I tried to warn her, but she didn't believe me. She hates zombie movies. :)

I was saying that I never got the impression from the trailers that it was a horror.

Roll on the zombies; I fell in love with Vampires after Salem's lot and Fright Night, Zombies with Return of the living dead that progressed me to the night/dawn/day of the dead films....marvellous.

Thence to the wonderful evil dead/army of darkness trilogy....masterful.

The book has "them" as reasonably intelligent zombies. This current version has some god-awful CGI zombie/orc things


Totally with you on the roll call of films/books tho mockers. Vampire mythology received a big boost with Brian Lumley's Necroscope books in the 80s/90s but he milked the whole thing dry. I must revisit the first one again now you (well I) mention it....


in the meantime I shall remind myself by visiting

ooh those names still give me a chill

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
