  1. Hope Blue Phil and Gordon don't read this page. I've got two books on the go at the moment, The Modern history of Hong Kong by Steven Tseung and A history of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr. Both are interesting, and readable history books, and both are worth buying if thats your sort of thing.
  2. I thought Sin City took itself too seriously, and everyone in it was trying too hard to be cool. The whole black and white cartoon thing was brilliant though. I'd put it in the same group as both Kill Bill films and the Matrix sequels-great to look at, but too much navel gazing and unecessary claptrap. I like my violent action films to be like Die Hard or Battle Royale-more fights, less postuering and philosophy. I've just used a christmas amazon voucher to buy The Dark Knight and The Lives of Others.
  3. So the Spirit is as overhyped as the frankly rubbish Sin City?
  4. If Benni carries on the form he's shown last Saturda, i'll almost be like having a new striker. Keep it up Benni!
  5. Terminator is going the same way as all those 80's horror films like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street. A good, but dated original being swamped by 200 increasingly rubbish sequels, spin off TV shows and so on.
  6. Is it the original line up? They were coming and going over the last few years, so I am not surprised that they ceased to exist for a bit. Hope they do come back as I'm sick of the bum gravy that is on Channel 4 and the other music channels. It's so overplayed and middle of the road.
  7. The Human League are OK. Not sure about the others. Better than Nickelback by miles though.
  8. I wish someone would pull the big stick out of your quivering anus.
  9. I know what you mean. Part of me wants to walk up to them and shoot them in the foot and say "There! now you have something to roll about for"
  10. With the way Rovers are playing, the local dealers must be making a booming business!
  11. There is talk that Will Smith and Steven Spielberg might make a US version of crazy Korean kidnap film Oldboy. I think President-elect Obama should move to stop this as it'll suck so much it hurts.
  12. I think the Daily Express website has had a Skynet moment and become a being in its own right. We better find nuclear bunkers quickly! And avoid people who look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  13. Sorry Abs, you were the first person I thought of who USES BLOCK CAPITALS WHEN THEY'RE EFFING ANGRY AT SOMETHING JUST LIKE I AM NOW !!!!!! Nowt personal, and you're nowhere near as bad as that, even when sending e-mails to Oakland fans. Whoever that person is, they're quite mad.
  14. If you think Abbey can be mad and angry...................... Should I try to carry it on?
  15. Nelsta, do not diss the pound shop DVDs. You can probably get some laughably bad films there that could keep you entertained. You could start a thing with a friend where you try to outdo each other every birthday or Christmas and buy the worst DVDs. Two of my sisters friends at uni did that with CDs, both building an impressive collection of David Hasselhoff and Foster and Allen CDs, amongst much else. They stopped when one bought the other a compalation CD of German Oompah band songs. How can you top that? Anyway, anyone going to see The House Bunny? Thought not. I hope Mark Kermode is reviewing it today, I can hear him sharpening his tongue now.
  16. We'll be recommending soup kitchens by Christmas if this economic crisis carries on at this pace!
  17. I've seen John Lydon advertising butter. The world has gone mad!
  18. Dean Saunders is Wrexham manager? When is the town going to be renamed Mordor then?, Will there be Orcs and trolls marching to take over the world?
  19. 1998=Stockport, Blackburn, Oldham etc. Quite a few around Bedfordshire/Milton Keynes too, which would have included me. 1881=Oldham, Bolton and Devon. My name is about 98% English in terms of nationality/ethnicity. 0% Jewish. No wonder i hate Spurs so much. My Fiancee's name is almost exclusively English, and from Devon/Dorset.
  20. Click on Best act ever and vote for Rick Astley! Well all the others are crap, so we should have a laugh.
  21. I can't think when that dusty crap hole had a great civilisation. It may have been part of the Persian empire and Alex the great's empire, but it was either a route to India or some desolate corner that just got taken. I also don't know of any solid, coheirent state that covers Afghanistan in any way. As far as I have read, its always been bandit country. There are parts of this world that totally lack resources, charm and are too hostile to live in, n a settled way. Such awful, wild places can breed awful, wild people who have nothing but a desire to live a brutish, hard and violent life. It's like the wild west before the USA matured into the state we now know it as. I'd be all for leaving the place, if it wasn't for the fact its a training ground for Islamic nutters who can come back here and bomb us, and the drugs that fuels this episode. I'd also include Pakistan as part of this 'uncivilised' armpit of Asia.
  22. The Colombian military, government and the AUC have been involved in drugs too. However, more and more of the nose sherbet is being grown in Bolivia and Peru, as Colombia gets tough on drugs with the US led Plan Colombia (which started off as a Colombian attempt to make peace with the FARC). As for the FARC, they started off being a guerilla group fighting a Conservative government that was killing any Liberal Party supporter they could find in the 1950's. The FARC members supported the moves of the assassinated radical Liberal leader Gaitain, who was not a communist but more of a social democrat. Anyway, once the Conservative/mililtary government fell, and the right wing AUC came about, the FARC lost its way, and basically became a terrorist group that got involved with drugs tofund there violence. The FARC have no real aim now no other than to survive. I don't know what that has to do with the price of eggs, but it might be useful information for some.
  23. Maybe the logic is that Afghanistan is a strict Islamic society that shelters all manner of dodgy characters like Bin Laden. They buy weapons with money from the drugs to fight Western soldiers over there. Therefore some Muslims are seeking profits from drugs. Anyway, I find it odd how people get hold of drugs. Dealers can't exactly advertise on ITV or anything. Same with guns, how do kids get hold of them? Stop people in the street and ask if they have a Colt for sale? I guess I've led a sheltered life.
  24. Mabe its to do with the fact that Afghanistan is a haven for the type of muslims who fly planes into buildings, and Al-Queda and that sort of muslim are probably profiting from the trade. Coca has traditional and shamanist uses for some who grow it, so some people are probably not Catholic. The Catholicism of your average Colombian is probably not as important to their identity than an Afghan's Islam. I hope that made some sort of sense.
