Happy Face

I reckon that was Chez like That must have been on the hidden forum then

Just to add, I do realise the Sun's support for the occupations themself hasn't wavered and that this is about the bigger issue of Brown's penmanship which renders him incapable of waging such a just massacre any longer, despite his past 'commitment'.

The Sun's coverage has been supportive of the UK's military interventions and the "War on Terror" more generally. On 18 December, 2008, an editorial piece "The Sun Says" titled "Job well done" declared "Britain is leaving Iraq with its head held very high" as well as "Through the commitment of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown to Iraq, we have shown that Britain DOES still have a major role to play in the world." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...icle2053657.ece ...but there's an election coming up and The Sun's only allegience is to the party that's going to win it. Scum.

I should get a lifetime achievement award for breaking Fop's spirit.

Try you are going home in a fucking amb you lance instead

drink drink where ever we may be. We are the drunk and disorderly. and we will drink where ever we may be for we are the drunk and disorderly.

Type in your words and this site sing it back to you using samples from well known pop hits... http://www.sr.se/P1/src/sing/# Great fun.

But the swing is over £50 Billion, so we're talking more than 10%. Not that I'm a fan of Brown or Labour but might some of the swing be down to the global financial crisis? I'd also be interested to know how much British involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost the nation. Four years ago when I postd it? None. Remember that Brown helped create the financial crisis.

...and got a couple of quid change from a £20 note.

Let me get this straight, someone from North Shields has just won £45million. The NUST has £30m pledged. ...and Mike Ashley wants £80m This person must be found and exposed.

I've not listened to any Vai for years. Nowt to do with the film is it?

I'm not a high brow film fan and probably won't watch anything else mentioned but that is an exception - really enjoyed it. You'd love The Proposition. I guarantee it.

Harry Brown Free advance screening i nipped to in my dinner hour. Not bad. The scriptwriter must have been gutted when Gran Torino came out though. It said everything this does...and is far funnier about it. The only laugh in this comes from the titles nod to Dirty Harry.

I got stick for listing the stuff everyone has seen and that's on every week anyway. Generally highlight the foreign ones that'll broaden the horizons of normally unadvenurous posters such as yourself.

Have you read the article you posted? They (the record companies) want people to stream...and to pay for the pleasure. In the long run they don't even see it as try before you buy. First of all, downloading or streaming (either one) cuts out all of their costs bar recording. The cost of cd production and stores to sell them in is removed altogether so it basically drops to zero outgoings to get an artist in the charts. This is a huge boon to the record industry who keep the biggest slice of the pie they've ever had. Downloading is a single payment though. 79p you own that song forever. You have no reason to pay for it again. Unlike vinyl...cassette....cd....minidisc... there is no futuristic format to switch to in which you have to replace your entire collection. This is the main problem they have with the technology because they make so much from re-selling the oldies. That's why the Beatles back catalogue is still worth a mint 50 years after they got started. The value of that catalogue is set to dwindle now that I have the entire beatles collection in FLAC format that my kids and their kids will inherit for free. Streaming avoids the issue of back catalogues losing value. It says no-one will ever own the music they listen to and in order to listen to music everyone must make a monthly payment to be able to access the music where it's held centrally. I'm not saying streaming is bad...but if you think it's something the record industry is against you're insane. The average member of public buys one album a year at christmas for their 10 year old. With the new technology, more and more people are commiting to a monthly direct debit that assures record company profits....not just the music buffs that traditionally make regular purchases. I think we have our wires crossed. Im talking about free streaming. Our near enough as free. Spotify is £10 a month, Grooveshark is currently developing a mobile app and Spotify is developing a blackberry app to go with the iphone and android apps already available. The max a record company is ever going to make of me now is £120 a year. Ive spent ten times that in the past! Exactly, £120 a year is three times what the average music buyer spends.... http://digital-stats.blogspot.com/2009/11/...load-music.html Your 'free music' at a cost of £10 a month makes you one of the heaviest contributers to record industry coffers.

On a side note, the ten year trends for album and single sales is also of interest at a time when the record industry claim that illegal downloads (like casette recording and bootleg CDs before them) are harming artists... http://www.bpi.co.uk/press-area/news-amp3b...es-in-2008.aspx

So why are they embracing it so? Why sign deals with Spotify and Grooveshark? Why is Robbie Williams album initially released only on Spotify?

TUESDAY 10TH NOVEMBER THE GUNFIGHTER 11.15am More4 Old school western with Gregory Peck. Dylan wrote about it in his song Brownsville Girl. CHILDREN OF GLORY 10.30pm BBC4 At the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, the Hungarian water polo team faces off against the Russians in what will become known as one of the bloodiest matches in the sport's history. THE PROPOSITION 11.25pm Film4 Excellent Aussie film (written by Nick Cave of the Bad Seeds). Some moments of horrible violence, so the sqeamish might want to avoid it, but otherwise I recommend. THIRTEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONE THING 1.25am Film4 Supposed to be a good ensemble film. Alan Arkin and John Turturro are always worth watching anyway. WEDNESDAY 11TH NOVEMBER ASHES OF TIME REDUX 11.15pm Film4 Kar Wai Wong (director of In the Mood for Love) swordplay film. GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK 11.50pm BBC1 Loved it. Should have won the Best Film oscar it was nominated for. It's about Ed Murrow's coverage of the unamerican activities hearings, but more importantly it's about the demise of television news reporting. THURSDAY 12TH NOVEMBER WINTER LIGHT 11am Film4 Ingmar Bergman classic. His personal favourite. A pastor starts to doubt his faith. KAMIKAZE GIRLS: THE END 11.15pm Film4 Japanese Manga film about a lass who doesn't fit in. THEM 1.10am Channel 4 Already has the Gejon seal of approval. 2006 French horror. Short and sweet at 77 minutes. FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT 12.40pm Film4 Elia Kazan (On the Waterfront, East of Eden) directed film that won Academy Awards for best picture and best director. It upset the House Un-American Activities Committee and famously led to stars, producer and director being called to testify.

Baroness - Blue Record Nice bit iof metal this.

I've tried and tried, but Wes montgomery and Miles Divis and that just don't do it for me. Love stuff like NOMO though.

oui

SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE 11.10pm BBC2 Written and directed by the woman who adapted and directed forum favourite American Psycho, it's the story of the real life pin up model and the senate investigations into the material her employers purveyed. What Boogie Nights was to the 70/80's, this film is to the 50's, only not as good. It's not bad though, Gretchen Mol is quality, I just don't see the point in it beyond titillation. Which is perhaps the point. When the Simpsons can't draw a bum on tv anymore and a wardrobe malfunction causes the collapse of society we probably need reminded of how pathetic censorship can be, and that it should be fought. THE YAKUZA 11.40pm ITV4 Never seen it, but it's a 70's crime thriller written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) and directed by Sydney Pollack (They Shoot Horses Don't They) so it's got to be good. Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN 12.35am Channel 4 Mexican road movie where two teenagers get their oats with an older woman going through a divorce. ALL THE KING'S MEN 12.40am BBC2 Sean Penn political drama based on the novel. MONDAY 9TH NOVEMBER LIGHTS IN THE DUSK 2am Channel 4 About a security man who meets a femme fatale who sets him up using his gullibility and loyalty. The film was presented at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was chosen as Finland's nominee for the 79th Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. However, Kaurismäki decided to boycott the awards and refused the nomination as a protest against US President George W. Bush's foreign policy.

Shame there were so few people left in the stadium at the end to see the tug of war between the people with the 'rapist' banner and the stewards/police. Good show.
