  1. Why would ANYONE give a shit? 83723[/snapback] Well they wouldn't would they, that's EXACTLY why i didn't start a whole new thread. Come on son, think on!
  2. But you'd have to wash your cupboard out everyday to keep bacteria from it getting on the rim of the cup!!! Since I don't have infestation worries I'd rather take my chances with a bit of dust.
  3. Why would ANYONE put a cup back in the cupboard upside down?
  4. I dreamt everyone in St James' Park had had small explosives surgically inserted into them and when I was at the match people started exploding all around me. It was horrific.
  5. The Wicker Man Good Lord. I sat with such open mouthed astonishment over the full length of it. Totally freaky. The jolly folk music is the most frightening thing like.
  6. Meet the fuckers! 83607[/snapback] That's better than the answer. I was looking for The Idiots.
  7. Just as apt as the film I'm thinking of. I should have chosen a more mainstream film tbh.
  8. Misery? 83543[/snapback] It's good, but it's not right. Say what you see.
  9. The Constant Gardner - Canny little romantic thriller. Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl - I've never been so gripped by a silent film. Not exactly edge of your seat stuff by todays standards, but always interesting and some superb performances.
  10. Nowt impressive tbh. Westlife got 7 in a row.
  11. A few covers for me tonight... String Cheese Incident - Walk This Way Blind Melon - Three is the magic number Lemonheads - Live Forever Oasis - I Am The Walrus ("Doesn't matter if it's out of tune") REM - The Passenger Richard Cheese - Rape Me
  12. Oh yes. We're all at it down there. Bumming each other's hoops like there's no tomorrow. 82897[/snapback] "Hoop"
  13. Has it died then? 82893[/snapback] Yes, but I think a sad smiley is going a bit far. How many fish die every day? It's not an especially talented fish. In fact it must be thick as pigshit to go that far up the Thames. Deserves what it gets.
  14. He's had to resign for being a chocolate chimney sweep? That's not very modern is it?
  15. If it happens, I think I'll apply. I'd be a better choice than Steve Bruce.
  16. Why the fuck has the first 10 minutes of the news been taken up by a dead fish*. Jesus! *I realise it's a mammal, fish was used for (admittedly limited) comic effect.
  17. Apparently he's named a few clubs rife with corruption and managers that have taken backhanders.
  18. What's the odds we're one of the clubs that are revealed tomorrow?
  19. Just got in. Got the squirts something rotten. Those bairns outside the Milburn were pitiful.
  20. Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony - The Hustle
  21. Dogville The first of Lars Von Triers American trilogy is superb. Grace (Nicole Kidman) is on the run and ends up in a small town in the middle of nowhere called Dogville. In exchange for keeping her hidden, she does jobs for all the people in the town. At first politeness keeps the townsfolk from giving her too much work, but as time goes by they get more and more out of her, then it all gets very wrong. Nicole Kidman was brilliant and I don't normally rate her. I can't see why people think it's anti-American, it seems to me that it's anti-humanity. I suppose playing Young Americans over the end credits with pictures of American poverty is what does it, but that seemed to me like baiting, because the film doesn't cover any themes specific to America that I can think of. Manderlay The second of Lars Von Triers American trilogy is superb. Grace is in the deep south and comes accross a plantation called Manderlay that still practices slavery 70 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. After freeing the slaves she feels required to help them embrace their freedom, and succeed in their own right. I didn't enjoy the film as much as Dogville, but it's ideas were far better explored. The fact that we are always on the slaves side and want Grace to achieve her goal is totally subverted when we see that if these 'slaves' aren't going to bring about change themselves, they can't be helped. How much more can be done for them before they take some steps for themselves? It is also analagous to the situation in Iraq. With well intentioned inteference forcing personal ideals on a community not ready or willing to change, with disastarous results.
  22. We're booked up for a few days over there at the time, but I can't see myself getting into any games
