Happy Face

Fort Apache Having listened to Public Enemy most of my life I assumed all John Wayne films were disgusting racist artifacts. But it turns out in this film (despite the frequent references to savages) the injuns are the ones with their head screwed on right, the honorable folk who just want to live in peace with honour. Wiki says it was one of the first to turn the convention round and make the cowboys/US army the bad guys. Enjoyed every second. She's Out of My League Advance screening of a romantic comedy that's out next week. There's a couple of laughs but it's only as good as any film which ends with a race to the airport can be.

Well nor do Bhutan yet, and we're not pressing sanctions on them.

The Sun have got some nerve after the hammering the gave the dome.

Forgot I'd seen that one...

Spot on. Far better deal to get £12m without a sell on clause rather than £8m with. How much did you expect to get in that clause? Even at an ambitious 10% he'd have to have gone for £40m to make it a better deal that way.

Another dodgy ad...but I love K'Naan

Even Ennio Morricone can't make the Adidas ad any good...

Portugal are Nike

If it was just the Tories I'd be as cynical. With the Cleggmeister tugging at the coat tails I think there's at least a modicum of integrity involved. You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'll lament the coalition failure once it actually happens.

Didn't realise the second one's off years ago. Wondered why Ronaldo was a Manc.

This one's good... But this one's great....

Makes you look far less preposterous when you try and get India, the US, China and that to agree to reduce their emissions with a multilateral agreement though.

It'd take at least 5 years to build a third runway though so I'm not convinced the current recession should influence planning. As for the environment, the planes will simply go elsewhere, or remain stacked above our capital city, burning fuel, waiting to land. I'd imagine extra flights would be put on, rather than the existing density of flights being reduced to any great degree. If there is more demand extra flights will be put on anyway. They will just benefit other countries. Which is why it's a strong environmental move by the UK.

When i worked for BT cellnet they were shite.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8696559.stm Credit where it's due. Can't help but agree with Richard Herring. Following the scrapping of ID cards and the new runway at Heathrow he pointed out... "It appears the new right wing government is going to be more left wing than the old left wing government, and yet left wing people are mourning the loss of a right wing left wing government, even though it is possible the new right wing government is more left wing. The first thing any new Labour leader should try is possibly to make their party more left wing than the Tories again....and if that's not too much to ask, possibly more left wing than the Liberal Democrats too." A bit daft to come to such conclusions so early based on a couple of policies. As for Heathrow, what does that have to do with political persuasion. To scrap runway three is just fucking stupid, end of. Environmental policies are frequently seen as a bit lefty liberal like.

My old man gave up after he caught cancer 20 odd years back. He insists it repulses him, but i reckon he still fancies a bine. I've stuck to matchdays only for a year and a half now...so not had one in about a month. Really wanted one while walking in the sun yesterday. Found it far easier to ignore the craving than I would have a year ago like.

He'll have to get a job in a call centre like everyone else that's lost work in manufacturing.

Isn't the paralympic mascot the one with the really short arms? ...and flippers.
