Happy Face

How's he being a twat? Just by playing Zoggy at left back?

All I want is a bit of good football - too much to ask? I've virtually stopped going to games now - couldn't even be arsed to go to Fulham which would have been easy for me - theres no incentive whatsover apart from seeing mates and drinking - its like the bad days of the 80s/early 90s all over again except at 10 times the cost. Bottom line is I refuse to pay £30/£40/£50 to watch that level of shite - another six months of this (odd victory aside) and the home crowds will reflect that attitude as well. I will also re-iterate my point that our fixtures till now have been easy - I think we're in a very false position. played 17 out of the other 19 teams in the league but they were just the easy ones.

Did we?

Clearly your tolerance for mediocrity is a lot higher than mine My tolerance for mediocrity is unsurpassed, I wanted to keep Roeder.

Can't believe people are STILL persisting with this shite. Almost half the way through the season, we're 5 points off 5th place ffs, and STILL not willing to give him time. Jokers.

You mean this Steve Mcqueen collection... http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=601991 No! Has to be this one then... http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=394689

eh ? I guess he means that soldiers are sent to kill the one that could destroy them all.

mmmmm Can't see all these remaining unopened another fortnight like. (that's a 50p for scale, not a 5p).

It's fucking abhorrent. Some sort of scatalogical thrill seeking no doubt. The risk of getting your shit rag through such a small gap obviously turns you sick fucks on.

I just can't see how you can be sat on that and have room to get an arm in, then retract without rim contact. Do you lift a cheek and go from the side?

A bumper christmas fortnight edition I shall highlight the festive flicks so people can beeline to them and get in the mood. FRIDAY 14TH DECEMBER RUN LOLA RUN 11.55pm Film4+1 I think this one was built up a bit too much for me. 171st best film ever according to IMDB, but even with a very short running time I was very bored very quickly. If you're going to tell alternate versions of the same story, that's fine, but here the differences are tiny. The end results might be vastly different, but the 15 minute build up is nigh on identical every time and ninety percent consists of Lola running. So when they start telling the story for the third time I really didn't want to see what would happen this time. Huge liberties are taken with the concept where attention is drawn to the precision with which events occur, but then if you're going to do that, you shouldn't then completely ignore the timing in the final version of events simply to wrap it up neatly. I didn't like anyone in the film at all, Lola is as close as you get to someone worth rooting for, but she's going out with a drug dealing tit of a man so stupid that he leaves 100,000 marks on a train, such a pussy that he rings his girlfriend to bitch and cry about it, and so inadequate he needs her to bail him out. Because he asks her to jump and she says "how high" I actually would have preferred the film to end on the downer after the first telling of the story, just so she learned a lesson. There is a lot of energy in the direction, but in a showy Guy Ritchie sort of way that might have felt fresh in the 90's but now smells of trying too hard. It's quite popular though, so don't listen to me. SATURDAY 15TH DECEMBER THE ROBE 12 noon BBC2 Biblical epic that I've not seen, but if it's raining out you can't go wrong with a lazy afternoon with a Richard Burton film... THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD 2pm five ....unless you haven't seen this. Errol Fynn classic. The original thrill a minute action film. I'm still amazed at the bit where he cuts the rope on the gate and flies to the top turret. Awesome. If you enjoyed Prince of Thieves, give this a whirl, the original and the best. GREMLINS 5.45pm five The christmas films start with one of the best. 20 years before Al Gore got a bee in his bonnet Chris Columbus wrote this cautionary tale of mans contempt for nature. Like Nostradamus he predicted that our inability to harness nature with any level of responsibility would spell disaster. And here we are now, floods and fatal temparatures wiping out the planet, much like cute little Mogwai, a natural phenomenon turned rampant by human meddling. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE 8pm Five Life A Scorsese film I haven't seen. But everybody loves Marty. THE CHORUS 10pm BBC4 Or Les Choristes. Oscar nominated as best foreign film in 2004. About a music teacher that turns up at a strioct school and endeavours to inspire the kids. SUNDAY 16TH DECEMBER BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III 1.55pm ITV2 Western references abound in this just as fun as the first 2 sequel. A classic trilogy. CLOSER 9pm five I've not seen this since it came out but I thoroughly enjoyed it. From the director of The Graduate. Matilda out of Leon plays a ripper. MONDAY 17TH DECEMBER PAN’S LABYRINTH 9pm Film4 6 times Oscar nominated, 3 times Oscar winner. It's canny good. O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? 10pm Channel 4 A cut above. Superb comedy very loosely based on Homer's "The Odyssey". MOOLAADE 1.25am Film4 African film about female genital mutilation which is an ancient tradition over there. Sounds a bit of a slog, but it's actually full of good humour along with it's message. Recommended. TUESDAY 18TH DECEMBER CITY OF GOD 9pm Film4 If you still haven't seen this you really are behind the times. For those that say they don't like foreign/subtitled films, this will change your mind. WEDNESDAY 19TH DECEMBER GREAT EXPECTATIONS 1.15pm Channel 4 David Lean's interpretation of Dickens' classic SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS 4.55pm Film4 Preston Sturges Directs Veronica Lake's first screen lead role. DIE HARD 9pm ITV2 Nice bit of Christmas action. 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE 11.25pm Film4 Coogan and Kay. Have good fun with the story of Factory records. THURSDAY 20TH DECEMBER RETURN TO OZ 10.45am BBC2 Christ it's scary DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER 9pm ITV2 Bit more christmas action. FETISHES 11pm More4 Nick Broomfield documentaries are always worth a watch. This one looks at the fetish clubs of New York. Should be a canny bit of skin. TOOTSIE 11.25pm BBC1 Comedy classic. Not just a man in a dress dross like Mrs Doubtfire. BREAKING THE WAVES 12.50am Film4 Hilariuous Lars Von Trier film about a womans sick relatrionship with god. FRIDAY 21ST DECEMBER Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN 11.10pm Film4 Mexican film about two young men that take a middle aged woman for a road trip with saucy shenanigans on there mind. Takes the Top Gun subtext to another level. HAWK THE SLAYER 12.55am BBC2 I loved this film when I was little. I don't know if kids these days enjoy the old films. Do they pick up on the ancient effects and belittle it or do they get as enthralled as I was when I saw this. Either way, it's a classic for grown up kids to remember. SATURDAY 22ND DECEMBER BRIEF ENCOUNTER 1pm Film4 Typically British love story of great restrained and clipped English. JOYEUX NOEL 1.35pm BBC2 2005 oscar nominated story of the Christmas Eve truce that saw German and Allied soldiers join in a game of football in WW1 no mans land. CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE MOVIE 4.35pm Channel 4 A cheap animated version, but it'll keep the kids entertained. PETER PAN 5.20pm ITV1 2003 version viewed by many as the best film version of the famous story. SUNDAY 23RD DECEMBER WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT 10.15am BBC1 First film I saw at the piuctures so I love it. Not sure it's that popular with others, though at the time it was huge. SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE 11.50am BBC1 THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE 1.55pm Channel 4 I know there's a few Spongebob fans on here. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET 2.30pm ITV1 Richard Attenborough is Santa. I've not seen it, but it's meant to be the best of recent xmas films. THE GREAT ESCAPE 4.15pm BBC2 Not a xmas film as such, but intinsicly linked with being on a christmas, here's your traditional chance to catch it. THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL 5.25pm five A lot of people's favourite christmas film ever. I'm really wanting to catch it because I've not done so yet. THE HUSTLER 12.55am Film4 Paul Newman is the coolest mother fucker this planet ever saw. I don't know what he and Martin Scorsese were thinking when they made the infinitely inferior Colour of Money. If you don't love this film you're a nonce. MONDAY 24TH DECEMBER - CHRISTMAS EVE THE SANTA CLAUSE 11.30am BBC1 EXPLORERS 11.50am Channel 4 Kids classic. GREAT EXPECTATIONS 11.50am More4 Another chanbce to see Lean's film. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION 2.15pm ITV1 LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS 2.45pm BBC1 CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG 4.15pm ITV1 SCROOGE 4.15pm five ELF 7.15pm Film4 THE LIKELY LADS 9.55pm ITV3 WOLF CREEK 11pm Film4 :frantic: SEXY BEAST 11.10pm Channel 4 Watch it while Ben Kingsley's on screen, the rest of it is average. OLDBOY 12.45am Channel 4 Possibly the best film of the 00's. KAGEMUSHA 12.55am Film4 Late Kurosawa work of genius. MR DEEDS GOES TO TOWN 1.10am BBC2 Frank Capra classic. TUESDAY 25TH DECEMBER - Christmas Day GONE WITH THE WIND 11.15am BBC2 Who's going to sit down for 3 hours on christmas day to watch this before dinner? Tape it and watch it later. THE SANTA CLAUSE 2 11.20am BBC1 BUGSY MALONE 1.05pm Channel 4 Another one for the kids. THE GRINCH 3pm ITV2 Not seen it. FINDING NEMO 3.10pm BBC1 Pretty good Pixar film....so far better than the majority of any other kids films. SHREK 2 4.40pm BBC1 Shite follow up the kids will like. THE STRAIGHT STORY 4.45pm Film4 David Lynch's most accessible story THE POLAR EXPRESS 5pm ITV1 Tom Hanks starring photo real film from Robert Zemeckis. THE AFRICAN QUEEN 6.10pm Channel 4 PULP FICTION 9.30pm BBC3 Most films I've seen I can't remember where or when. Some, I remember where I watched it. Pulp Fiction, I not only remember where I was sat in which theatre, but everything about the entire day. I wasn't doing anything special, just a bit shopping with a mate but I remember the shops we visited, the postcards I bought, the pub we went to a pint for, everything because the whole day has become associated with seeing it for the first time. It entirely blew me away. I can't imagine anyone responding any differently either. That first time I was blown away by the pitch black humour (“Oh man I shot Marvin in the Face”), the cracking dialogue (“Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?”) and the fractured timeline that has you confused as hell, but never lost. A few more viewings though and you can take so much more, what was an epic tale (two and a half hours) of the criminal becomes a simple tale about a couple robbing a coffee shop, Tarantino tells us this story like anyone would, by saying “So this couple, Pumpkin and Honeybunny are chatting about holding up this place and they jump up and ……Oh shit hang on, you’ve got to hear about these other 2 dudes, that very morning they were doing this…”. Every viewing adds something new, wether it’s something small like The Wolf wordlessly congratulating Jimmie on his gourmet shit or the bigger themes of sin and righteousness, punishment and redemption. THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES 10.35pm Channel 4 Lush film about Che Guevara's early years. KUNG FU HUSTLE 11.15pm Film4 I'm getting sick, I might come back and add comments to the rest later. But they're all class... CHAPLIN 12.15am ITV1 RIDING GIANTS 1am Channel 4 WEDNESDAY 26TH DECEMBER - Boxing Day PORCO ROSSO 6.05am Channel 4 SPY KIDS 11.05am BBC1 KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE 3.10pm Film4 THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN 3.40pm More4 MEET ME IN ST LOUIS 3.50pm five MONSTERS, INC. 5.35pm BBC1 THE TERMINAL 7pm BBC2 JURASSIC PARK 9pm ITV2 THE KING AND I 9.45pm ITV3 **************************** THE BIG LEBOWSKI 10.05pm More4 **************************** THE RED SHOES 10.55pm BBC4 THURSDAY 27TH DECEMBER E.T: THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL 4.25pm ITV1 THE QUEEN 9pm ITV1 KILL BILL VOL 1 10.30pm BBC3 REPO MAN 12.55am Film4 HENRY V 2.15am Channel 4 FRIDAY 29TH DECEMBER JURASSIC PARK 3 9pm ITV2 ****************** AMELIE 11.25pm Film4 ******************

Just 2 ply? Do you save teabags to re-use in your next cup too?

@ the entire thread. Always a goldmine. I'm a stander, the reasons for which are... 1. Purchase. With a free arm you can work the angles to really buff your ring to a sheen. I'd imagine, whichever angle I approached it from (front or back), if I was sitting down there'd be a limited space there between the rim and myself to position for the optimum wipe. 2. Progress. Standing up allows you to examine your work. Useful to see how healthy your 'movement' has been initially (bouyancy/consistency/colour) as well as to gauge how many more wipes are needed. If you're sitting down you must NEVER see your shit. What if you're getting bowel cancer? The first sign is blood in your stool. Sitting down to wipe could kill you! FACT! Do people who sit down pull out a shitty rag after wiping to check it then put it back in? Aren't you getting dangerously close to wiping shit all over yourself you filthy fucks? Or do you just wipe and wipe and guess when you're clean? I'd get through 4 rolls of loo roll a day if I was blind wiping. If everyone Sat down it would be an environmental catastrophe. 3. Facility. You don't get "butterfly" when you stand up because you keep your cheeks apart until you've wiped. So I stand up because I CAN. I can only imagine the fattest of people have the problem that when they stand up their ring is lost in the folds of fat of their flabby arse. And anyway, who the fuck starts wiping when there's half a friggin log hanging out that could possibly cause butterfly? Nip that shit off and burnish the sphincter to a shine, don't use the roll to pull shit out. Christ. 4. Necessity. All you sitters who're incredulous that someone would stand to do what they could sit for, are you not going to get up anyway? Having not only taken a shit, but also wiped yourself clean, are you saying you enjoy sitting on a stinky shit hole for a bit longer? Good god! Fatty ballaties and Maggie Sutton's have a pass. They can do a sit down wipe with impunity, anyone else that does is a Harry Ramp. Probably the same people that get out of breath from the effort of relaxing their sphincter, so I have to listen to fucking Marathon Man when I'm in the next cubicle. Disgusting.

aaaah. It rhymes!

eh?

I thought it was complete horse shit. I thought I was unhappy with Kill Bill vol 2, but this drags Tarantino down to a Rob Zombie level of uninspired drivell. Inland Empire It is an incredibly dull film, and vacuous to boot. Everyone in Hollywood is a whore wracked with self doubt? You don't say! Is this a revelation that warrants three meandering and incomprehensible hours on the thought process of an actress? But then again it did intrigue me. I did after all sit there for the full 3 hours. And through the entire end credits (which I never do) and then for a little bit longer to think about it some more. And I want to watch it again to see if I can get my head round it, but it's the cinematic equivalent of a Paul Mckenna cd to cure insomnia, so I can't see that happening. Maybe I'm being harsh because I'd just watched Sicko beforehand and that was about a real issue (you know, people whose kids have died and that) wheras this is plainly pretentious guff about people who get paid to play dress-up. This is an unfair comparison as Inland Empire has a sense of humour about it's subject, just not a particularly funny one. I liked the Beck and Nina Simone tunes. And the Locomotion. I've also not seen all of Lynch's other films and there seemed to be a lot of references to the one I have, so maybe you need to be more familiar with his oeuvre (christ I'm more pretentious than Lynch) to 'get it', but even if that is the case, I still think a film should stand on it's own. The really annoying thing is reading back all the reviews by people that love it. I've not seen one be specific about where it's excellence lies. It's all vague gubbins about how brilliant it is that it makes no sense and how labrynthine it is, is that a good thing now? Feeling lost by your story teller? Mind, Laura Dern was good. But she's canny in Jurassic Park too, which was a much more fun experience. I've still got Mullholland Drive there to watch too. Looking forward to that.

I cried at the bit where the black woman's child died cause she had to waste time taking her to another hospital due to the health insurance fiasco. It was a very sad image of her explaining how she asked forgivness from her dead child and that she had done all she could. The 9/11 volunteers who weren't getting any of the $50Million raised to pay for their healtchare getting treatment in Cuba did for me.

Knocked Up Top notch comedy well worth a watch. Laughed throughout and was happy for the characters at the end. Sicko Michael Moore ... ...unleashes his typical rhetoric on the powers that be in America. Standard line up of sad sacks repeating the same old story one after the other to hammer home how fucked up the place is. Everyone here knows it, everyone there knows it, but Moore does manage to convey a level of incredulity at nothing being done that really hits home. His standard shocking finale is ridiculously over the top, and contradicts everyting most left wingers would say is wrong about guantanamo, but for the sake of this argument it's an interesting view to take.

Superbad Can't fathom the popularity of it. Nothing whatsoever to add to the long line of 'nerds want to get laid' films. There were a few chuckles when when Seth Rogen and Bill Hader were on screen (that being the only time it got away from dick jokes and vaginal secretions) but nothing really laugh out loud funny. It's also a shame they bottled it, gross-out films like this should push it all the way, if the film-makers had any integrity they would have followed through on the exaggerated homo-eroticism they'd played for attempted laughs throughout with a true twist on the teen comedy...an Y Tu Mama Tambien style finale, if they wanted to gross out their core audience, that's the taboo that would really do it.
