anything that's got Ewan McGreggor in it has to be good


I suspect that Angels&Demons will test that statement even more than the new Star Wars films did ;-)


I'd have to join Annasfield on The Spy Who Loved Me - the Union Jack Parachute moment is a pretty special, as is the speed boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. But then the opening sequence became such a big part of the Bond Cocktail that it's to be expected that they've put together a few good 'uns.


I think I'd like to add the opening sequence in Gladiator, which is pretty decent. Immerses the viewer into the period in quick-time, and great action.


On a less ballistic note, the deserted street and quiet score that open Breakfast at Tiffany's always make me smile.

Predictably,considering my moniker, I'll go for the opening to Goodfellas: Ray Liotta 'For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a gangster' followed by Tony Bennet's 'Rag to Riches'. I think Joe Pesci's psychotic Tommy DiSimone was the template for many 'hardmen' in films afterwards including Kingsley's. I don't think I had ever seen anyone that genuinely scary in a film before. Nearest thing to that was Paul Betthany in Gangster no 1, which was a very underrated film.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Rockets · Posted

      Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.

      UPDATE FOUND!!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
