Don't look up the upcoming film The Human Centipede. I read something about it on Wikipedia, and its just wrong.

Urgh I watched it on DVD a couple of weeks ago and it really is unpleasant.

I like horrors and even gory stuff and didn't think I could be shocked by what went on celluloid until I read about a new Serbian film which over here is called A Serbian Movie.

Just reading about it made me feel ill I have no idea why it was made or anyone would watch it.

Went to see Toy Story 3 today, Wow!

I'm a sell confessed Disney / pixar fanatic but this really is superb.

Then again I was only ten when the first came out so it's kind of grown up with me.

Pixar have done it again!

Not been and I'm not going either.

Any reason? Halal?

Cheers chaps may be time for a rethink as we booked a table at Anaz but will give sukhis a ring.

On a side note has anyone tried Calypso under the woodlands I've heard good reviews

We are trying la salsa this week but can anyone recommend an Indian in Blackburn / darwen, shajan is full for when we want and we fancy a drink so bukharra is a no go

Agree, Leon and Shawshank are unbelievable, they are must watch films.

Am I the only person in the world though who still hasn't seen or have no intention of seeing, 'The Titanic'?

I may have to hand in my man card but I still think Titanic is a great film, it surprised me how much I liked it.

Finally watched kickass tonight, unexpected and awesome

I used to have bad night terrors about count duckula and big bird from the muppets one day I thought I woke up and big bird was in a bed blocking my door, I scrambled under and then he saw me.

I've always sleep walked but not for a long time till last week when for some reason I ran downstairs and was in a panic trying to get out of the front door, good job I didn't as I had been sleeping in the buff. Weirdly I later found out that the guy I bought the house off died that night.

He's underrated save for his Oscar of course.

Underrated by most of the public due to him being a bit of a , I honestly think that film would have been an absolute smash if directed by someone else.

I got apocalypto on blu ray recently bloody great film, Gibson is underrated as a director

Get in there athletico

Said it in the other thread so happy for Roy he deserves it.

Enjoy ffan

Seeing Pantsil at the end was great what football is all about. Well done lads

Great article, always had a lot of time for Mokoena, even more so after reading that. I hope he ends the summer with a respectale World Cup campaign and an FA cup winners medal

I have been tempted so many times to try this again as it was good the last time i went. However, they really should have a website in this day and age.

Do you have any idea as to what sort of dishes are on the tapas menu?

That is a decent list of dishes for £10.

On another note...not tried it. But the Butlers at Pleasington (think they now have a proper chef too) is offering 2 steaks, homemade chips, peppercorn sauce, onion rings and vegetables with a bottle of wine for £20 (for two people)

I have the flyer here so being the helpful sort of chap I am:

Stuffed garlic mushrooms

Garlic pizza tomato

spicy mussels mexicana

BBQ spare ribs

Cheesy potato skins

Homemade pate & toast

Spicy tomato pasta

spicy meat risotto

creamy garlic mussels

garlic pizza

creamy garlic potatoes

italian sausage, peppers and sweet chilli sauce

BBQ potatoes

marinated black olives

Red snapper on wilted spinach

tangy chciken wings

baked veg in a spicy tomato sauce

stuffed peppers

garlic pizza and mozzerella

garlic and rosemary chicken

meatballs in salsa

french fries

black pudding with dijon mayo

prawns in garic butter

onion rings

caeser salad

Tuscan bread

So its a bit of an odd bag of choices, the misses said the two of them got told to order 4 dishers between them at a time and they could get as much as wanted for thr £15.

The 3 course for £15 is apparently all day on sunday as well, I think I'll try that one Sunday.

I agree they should have a website its a poor do that.

Hughesy, any recommendations from the Mangiamos menu?

Quattros was the best the last time I went - however like you said its changed name - so I havent been since or heard anything about the quality.

Mangiamo's is our normal place for an Italian as its not too far away & good quality.

Never tried Parmesan & Pepper either following lots of mixed reports.

Very Funny on the Francos! You know if its still any good or not?

last time I went a couple of monhs ago it was decent mate, a lot of people rave about the villa at clitheroe but I wasn't overly impressed

It's still got the same name Hughesy, still called Franco's.

A few years ago the best in my opinion was Quattro's at Samlesbury, I havn't been since it changed it's name to Nuraghes or whatever it is now.

We are going to Mangiamo's at Darwen with some friends on Tuesday night and tonight the wife went to Parmesan and Pepper at Abbey Village as they do a sort of Italian Tapas menu, £15 each as much as you can eat on a Thursday or a 3 course meal for a tenner on Friday nights with a fair selection as well (if you wanted it I'll type it out as it isn't on line).

Edit: Bugger it I'll type it up anyway in case anyone else fancies trying it, I'm going to at some stage;

Stuffed Garlic Mushrooms topped with cheese

Soup of the Day

Garlic bread choose either plain, cheese or tomato

Cheesy potato skins

homemade chicken liver pate with galic toast

black pudding on mash with creamy peppercorn sauce

--------------------------

Mexican chicken - chicken breast in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, chilli and garlic

Fillet of Salmon coated in a light creamy pink prawn sauce

Any pizza or pasta

Swordfish Steak in a garlic butter sauce

Chicken Pepe - chicken breast in a creamy peppercorn sauce

---------------

Chefs selection of todays puddings

Mangiamo's is next on the list of Italians to try, heard some mixed things about it but will give it a pop

Another shout out for the Black Horse at Pimlico, best chips around.

On the subject of chips I had a Clayton street yesterday lunch, still good but nowhere near as good as they used to be

TCO - how was it?

sorry for the lack of response it was actually nice, We all had pasta which for £3.95 on the night was really nice. Good garli breads as well.

There's better Italians around but for the price we'll be going again. I think it's Monday and Tuesday nights any pizza or pasta £3.95

Trying Gino's (formerly Tiggis) tonight, will report back but I'm not expecting too much

Downloaded a film called The Collector, really enjoyed it, almost like a grown up grusome home alone

By the way KFC in Accy is also Halal now as well

I don't really want to debate the farming methods/Halal, I'll come off sounding like a preaching soap-boxer and I really don't want to do that.

My only point is that anybody who buys chicken from KFC can't pretend to care about the welfare of the animals involved.

Can I just point out that I was against the fact I couldn't get what I went in for, purely selfish motives

I'll still go

No Lee Makel - no deal

Why don't Rovers still kick balls into the crowd when they come out I used to like that

This was at KFC near the hospital not sure about the others

Maybe not the right place for this but I see no other eaterie threads, I popped into KFC in Blackburn today as I fancied one of those new spicy boxmasters, I was disappointed when I found out they weren't doing them and was downright p1ssed off when I found out its because it contains bacon and last week the store went Halal only.

Fair enough have the option for Halal but it doesn't seem fair that I have to miss out

Just to rub it in a few hundred yards down the road I see a big advertisment for the new boxmaster

Watched The Box last night, film started OK but got far too silly after a while. Midweek we watched The Stepfather which is a remake of an older film, decent but somewhat cliched thriller.

Last week saw Princess and the Frog last week which was awesome but obviously not for everyone
