Just had a scan through and I do have JB backed-up on the HD drive.


It's a toss-up between that and Flash Gordon. A Peter Duncan cameo, the bore worms, a ludicrous score by Queen and, er, Ornella Muti in tight fitting clothes.


Tough call.

Agreed - Pulp Fiction probably tells you all you need to know about QT and his style of direction. Incidentally the QT section of Sin City was the only one I was able to keep my eyes open during.............

  • 2 weeks later...

The bit with Clive Owen driving the bodies to the tar pit... after the prostitutes kill a thug, then realise he's actually a cop.


Anyway, saw Django last weekend and really enjoyed it. The violence was unrealistic and didn't bother me. The use of the "N word" didn't seem out of place.

I saw Django last weekend. It was a very good film but he could have EASILY halved the N-word count. Much of the use of the word was just plain gratuitous. Given the subject matter the word needed to be used but he took it WAY too far this time.

finally saw Django and thought it was a marvellous return to form - almost as good as Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown (was the best bit of the latter really BrFo in a bikini? a bit sad, that assessment)


Rosie I do hope you kept your eyes open when QT came on with that ludicrous Oz accent or you'd have missed a brilliant bit of the film. Most of the characters he plays himself get offed in inventively nasty ways.

I'm a Tarantino fan - the stylised violence, dark humour and obscure film references are all great. I just wonder about the excessive use of such a particularly and uniquely offensive word.

    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
    • I’m beginning to think YOU are an AI agent at this point  would be less troubling than you actually believing all this stuff
