  1. Monsters 4/10 Low-budget film that contains few 'monsters' and is more sci-fi romance. Dull.
  2. I do have some sympathy for DM over Iraq. Ed praised the coalition for scrapping ID Cards (ditto most of us) but sweeps his backing of it under the carpet as government 'collective responsibility'. David could say likewise about Iraq given all bar Robin Cook signed up to the idea. As yet I'm unsure whether Ed is rejecting the past or selectively picking out good and bad with the benefit of hindsight rather than personal judgement.
  3. Was that way in the past hence the alternative ending to Dr Strangelove is lost. Some modern films get butchered due to the reception of preview focus groups. In the case of Meadows, he's quite improv and writing will probably be taking place during filming.
  4. As the opening scene (from the film) showed, directors film a lot and the editor sends some of it to the cutting room floor. I'm sure at some point there will be a dvd release with extras that never made it to broadcast. I read that Woody's job was to be more prominent in the filming but the idea was jettisoned.
  5. Great but I thought it ended with something of a convoluted finale. Somehow I doubt the genuine Lol would let somebody else take a fall for her. Odd choice of closing track as it was a Weller pisstake of ABC.
  6. By a flawed method I can't help feeling Labour might have found the right guy. Ed doesn't strike me as an old school 80s leftie, more like the early days of New Labour, whereas David is somebody to pick up Blair's noughties baton.
  7. Apart from you does anybody else think the coalition wont let them down too? It's fuck all to do with ambition or benefits but decent white collar employment to assist people in bettering it for them and their family.
  8. Default Dunk: Having fucked up pretend a) it was humour and b) he doesn't care. The mind boggles at the sort of Reds that visit his site.
  9. As Mr Burns said to Lisa: "My God, are you always on?" It's no more undemocratic than your puppet party making policy to an electorate that rejected them.
  10. Quite easy, their admin just has to add 'Liverpool' as a spam keyword. He may all set it to auto-delete rather than reject. Here's an snippet... just db.com
  11. My first, all the db.com emails were rejected as spam. So I rewrote it not using worlds like Liverpool, Hicks, Kop, Football and it passed the spam filter.
  12. Thought he was just fucking about and that it was a pr stunt. The death of Higgins may have reminded them that a bit of attitude raises the profile of the sport.
  13. Frozen 6.5/10 Low-budget but fairly claustrophobic and kept me gripped to the end.
  14. That's true enough. The media do like to push the agenda of an English manager, as if it's a club's duty to employ them at a higher level. It's also the same media that dub them not good enough when they do get the national team job. I've near total indifference to Roy and he could be the Liverpool manager who never was.
  15. You have to recall that Demento was hired with the #1 task of taking us on and this talk of a good relationship with all bar Rafa is codswallop - typical mind games. Rafa's failing was that he tried typical dry English sarcasm but failed to have the ready wit of Kenny's barb that his daughter talked more sense. But this is really a sideshow and Roy's problems are his small club mentality and outdated tactics.
  16. Six of one, half dozen of the other. An overlong competition and a browbeaten fanbase.
  17. Rancid Aluminium. This year Clash of the Titans would have to be the biggest load of shite.
  18. Read a report today that banker bonuses were now back to previous levels.
  19. Aye. The top 4 are The Daily Mail (some way ahead), Sun, Mirror and Times. You can use data from the PCC resolved list: Press Complaints Commission >> Resolved complaints
  20. It's total bollix. The chart is 'identified' cases, putting Best Magazine and the Sunday Sport ahead of The S*n.
  21. They took over and relied on North Sea gas to cover any increase in demand. Now we have a storage capacity of about 4 days due to a lack of investment in onshore storage depots. Did we get 30% price rises pre-privatisation? The only complaint most had would have been the power cuts, but that was due to strikes rather than supply.
  22. Probably why Clegg was rattled by a LD voter accusing him of being on an "ideological crusade" against the weakest in society. 'Cuts will change our way of life' should have included Orwell's 'some more than others'.
