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!!!).

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      I called InPost when I saw the first parcel had been refused twice, they said it was because the shop didn't have capacity / space. I went to the shop and they basically said that was BS, that they had plenty of space and showed me the parcels from that day's InPost delivery - they even went through all the parcels to see if mine was there. I called them again a couple of days later after the tracking showed the first parcel had been refused twice more, and two others had also been refused. They said they'd investigate and would send me an email (nope) and to contact Vinted. I called them again today after further refusals, again they said they'd investigate and for me to contact Vinted - they seemed to intimate that they could only do something if Vinted contacted them, despite me trying to explain that it is impossible to contact anyone at Vinted, let alone get them to chase up parcels. Tbh I don't believe the tracking updates are based on actual events, it stinks of lost parcels that they just don't want to admit to, so just keep pretending they're trying to deliver them and update the tracking info. I can't think of any other reason this would happen. Although very odd if it is this, as all the parcels were sent from different places and at different times.

      It’s not NIMBYism to say I don’t want high-rises in ED ... it’s just not what the area is. Liking the character of where you live isn’t a crime.

      Is there a viable alternative to Sadiq?

      By malumbu · Posted

      So because he said something you believe isn't the truth he shouldn't have introduced measures to improve air quality, and reduce deaths and ill health associated with pollution. Odd logic.

      It's composite so pretty easy to cut through. Looks like a spade bit could do the job too actually. No worries, thanks anyway
