Gemmill

I thought there were a few decent ones on the go today. :thup:

Watched it the neet. Was canny enough. Fairly disconcerting that Tom Wilkinson was doing an impression of Hannibal Lector with his accent though. And every major event seemed to be telegraphed 5 minutes before it happened too. But there you are. There's a German version of the story too. It's called Requiem and concentrates more on the girl, than the priest and the resulting case. Emily Rose is based on Anneliese Michel, a German woman who died in the 70's. Anyhow, here's the trailer... http://www.blairwitch.de/trailer/x_requiem.mov A UK release isn't scheduled yet 120256[/snapback] Still no UK release planned though. 173813[/snapback] Aye, I had a look on Wikipedia about the original story. It pisses me off when they put stuff about what the "true life" characters did at the end of the movie, when in actual fact the characters are completely fictional. I thought the film was poor though, mate. I was on here ten minutes before the end and had to rewind it to check what the court verdict was, it was so uninspiring.

actually, don't think he will this time. He's going to be a huge success at Liverpool, exactly what they needed. 173803[/snapback] Even if he did get sent off or do something else they have a top class manager not a childish, useless fuckwitt and like Fergie with Keane, Cantona et al Benitez will handle it and get the best from the player and do whats best for the team not his own ego. 173807[/snapback] Here we go! Wind him up and watch him GO!

Wacky's just gutted cos he misses it all during the day - FACT!

That's fucking excruciating. What is he doing with that teddy?!

You expected anything less ? 173790[/snapback] More hope than expectation tbh. I expected it to be mindless fluff, but I didn't expect it to be as poor as that. I didn't give a shit whether she died or the priest got found guilty or innocent. Wacky, don't bother mate.

The first one wasn't bad tbh. And the second one provides further evidence of the excellent relationship we have with Real Madrid.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Jesus wept tbh. An absolute pile.

Yes! I got the first response. Dotbum is a la-hoo-ser!

We'll never hear the fucking end of this. "Rotterdam all over again" etc. etc.

I get that all the fucking time from Vodafone, the set of wankers! I see they're not including picture messages as part of their text bundles from now on, the thieving gyppos!

Is that the detonator he's holding? :lol:

No you numbnuts. I just wake up early on weekends. I barely work during the week.

Can I swap my trip to the Bahamas for a laptop, a season ticket and a smoothie maker??? 173615[/snapback] I can chuck in a manbag too if you want?

For the most part they are pretty ignorant of what's going on. I remember being at work on the day of Bush's final deadline to Saddam Hussein before the bombs started going, with the BBC News 24 feed on. These two lasses I was working with had no idea what was going on when the bombs started dropping because they were completely oblivious to the fact that it was all about to kick off. These are college graduates, studying to be CPAs, and not a clue that their country was going to war. Challenge them on the rights and wrongs of it though, and you got a look of utter disgust and a load of shit about 9/11 and how Hussein was DEFINITELY involved. It's sad that people can be so stupid and yet hold such ludicrous views when you try to take it up with them. I just used to get told "I don't know why you even live here seen as all you do is bash America" off one lass. I did used to wind her up intentionally though.

I'll have you know I've a very strong moral code, it just seldom intersects with the laws of the land. Racists, basically. Voting Bush wouldn't have helped their cause, like, but I wouldn't codemn them for that. Actually, I'd probably have forgiven the racism if they had brains in their head. 173600[/snapback] Blatantly mentioned the potato famine tbh.

I don't agree, like, I think the US serves as a warning to where we're all headed. I haven't been there since 1999, and I've said I won't set foot back there unless things change a lot. We just had friends over from the States, very representiative of upper middle class US, no reason to be unhappy with their lot. Fucking shocking opinions on things outside the US, and well "educated" too. I was very nice to them while they were here, but I told the girlfriend they weren't welcome back, and I'm not that intolerant. There's plenty of good ones in the US, I've always thought it was a land of extremes, for every bad one there's an equally good one, but they do do stupidity like no one else on Earth. I don't think that's by birth, though, they're farmed that way. 173590[/snapback] How on earth did they manage to offend a man of your morals so severely as to be unwelcome in your house?

It's probably pretty similar to Ireland, yes, there's plenty of money in the country, but living costs are sky high and people are over-worked. Weather definitely makes a difference too. 173580[/snapback] I work for a Dutch company, and I discovered today they get 48 days holiday per year over there. That would definitely make me happier! 173582[/snapback] I agree with that like. More holidays = . Mine are shit. 173584[/snapback] I get 25 days plus bank holidays. What you getting? Loved it at PwC where I got time off in lieu for overtime. Used to end up with about 10 weeks holidays a year. That stopped as soon as I qualified though.

For people that are supposed to be happy, they've got a bargain bucket full of hatred. 173571[/snapback] Not your average yank on the street, I don't think. 173576[/snapback] You do know the average yank is not some gay hippy form San Francisco I hope. 173579[/snapback] Yes you tit! Just like I know the average Brit is not some gay stripey cat from Tynemouth.

Should've employed the Dean Jones approach tbh.

I'll be getting a lottery ticket tonight btw. Keep your fingers crossed - I'll cut you all in on a toontastic holiday in the Bahamas.

I agree in the main but - I've won money and appreciated it more in a way. Your earnings go straight into the bank and you don't really see them whereas on the odd occasion I've fleeced the bookies I've probably felt better about that money than I would otherwise. I appreciate gifts too which are sometimes money/vouchers and in those circumstances I tend to buy something I wouldn't normally buy, as a treat. Also, do you reckon people who have their lives improved by charitable donations are unappreciative? 173489[/snapback] If you're generally working for your money, you'll appreciate anyh money that comes in, but if you've got a lot and don't have to work for it, it all ceases to have any real value. I also think people quickly forget how hard they once worked for it once they've got it; they stop appreciating what other people are going through etc. 173494[/snapback] That's what I meant and no I wasn't on a wind-up Gemmill you dick wad! Why is Shearer happier in all likelihood than Dyer? One reason would be I'm sure because he has earned his money and had some impact on the world. I concede I may be talking bollocks like. 173506[/snapback] There's a difference between being able to fully appreciate the value of money and being able to enjoy being loaded tbh. If someone handed me £10m tomorrow, I'm sure I'd lose sight of the value of money and spend uncontrollably for a while, but I'd enjoy doing it. I'd gladly take my chances with a lottery win to test your theory. I reckon if you won the lottery you'd stretch to a new pen to write your medical stuff with and maybe upgrade the car you've got to one with leather seats. And you'd get a new bathroom suite. That would be the extent of the change to your life. 173517[/snapback] Not much chance of me winning the lottery as I boycott the idiot tax. I like luxuries in my life as much as you, and I'd get the house etc. But I'd have to have some focus. And my main point is, money does not necessarily equate to happiness, quite the contrary in fact, which has been shown time and time again. For instance, why is the UK one of the wealthiest nations in the world and also one of the most miserable? 173560[/snapback] Your presence here has to be significantly raising the average miserableness level. The weather doesn't help here - although we do moan whether it's hot or cold, I suppose. The US is richer than us though, and I consider them a happier nation than us. Perhaps that's because they're more money-focussed though. I dunno. I still reckon winning the lotter would change my life significantly for the better though.
