Ally McBeal was bad, and got worse and worse, even my then girlfriend couldn't stand it eventually, and she was the girlie TV stereotype!


Sean, when you say "most people" prefer the older versions of the characters, do you mean "you" prefer them? ;-) I absolutely loved Sunrise when I saw it on telly as a 19(ish) year old, and for yonks after that I was saying to people "what's that film with the guy and the girl on the train in Europe, and they spend the night walking around and chatting" only for people to look at me blankly.


When I did eventually find out the title and watch it again I have to admit that the young characters annoyed me a bit, but as I said, I was no longer so young... However, the older versions are far too cliche, and the film as a whole is too predictable... It's a sequel that everyone wanted to see (did they meet at the station the following year or not!?!?!?!?), but that really I think would have been best left to the imagination.


I sound like I hate it, I don't, but you know what I mean :-S

I know I sound like a misogynistic neanderthal* there but I?m not really, just being obtuse.


*Anyway from what we can make out of neaderthal?s vocal abilities they would have had very high pitched voices compared to us so I doubt I really sound like one at all.

Keef - re: Sunrise/Sunset - this time "most people" really does mean most other people


I still retain massive fondness for the original. That sort of night has always been my favourite (ok the train and Vienna may not happen that often - but the whole walking/talking/andtherest in teh wee small hours...) Looking back objectively yeah they are a bit precious - but I'd rather that than the opposite


I did think the sequel enhanced the original tho' - so we differ there

Sean I still don't know who these most people are, but fair enough.


I too liked the whole idea of walking around with this (beautiful) stranger chatting and flirting.


Cassius, Mrs Keef is always convinced I'll fancy a certain lass, and is always quite taken aback when I say "she's okay, but I much prefer the other one" (who is the exact opposite). I don't believe in having a "type", I thought brunette/brown eyes was my kind of thing, and I've married a blue eyed blonde, I think we just like who we like.


Same for the ladies I guess, I mean there are the Brad Pitts and Johnny Depps who seem pretty universal in their appeal (I said pretty not totally), but then you get ladies fancying Tony Soprano, or Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast (DM I'm looking at you!!!).

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
