Fantastic Marvin Gaye, shot dead by his own father who pleaded guilty to manslaughter and got 6 years probation! That is one fucked up sentence.

That's a quality film. Picked it up for around £5 a few months ago.

 

30 Days of night is the best one I've seen recently.

I got Fright Night for £1 in Music Zone just before they went bust.

Day watch and Night watch are good and you can't knock Monster squad for a quality vampire film!

Was discussing this today in work when some bird said Twilight was the best vampire film she'd seen (i am guessing she hasn't seen that many) and thought i'd put it out here. There are quite a few of them about but at the moment i'd go with the following:

 

1. Near Dark. Top film, one of my favourites and hugely underated.

 

2. Shadow of the vampire. Malkovich on fine form as a movie director who hires a real vampire as his lead in his film.

 

3. From dusk till dawn. Who could forget that Salma Hayak dance, utter gory madness.

 

4. Lost boys. Not as good as it was when i was younger but a fun film none the less.

 

5. Salem's Lot. Spooked the shit out of me when i was a kid.

There are probably some obvious exclusions which will be mentioned.

Salem's Lot is pretty shit; but I agree as a kid I was terrified of it. The vampire kid at the window gave me a few sleepless nights.

30 days of night is the best of the current crop I reckon and John Carpenters Vampires is decent, also Interview with a vampire must be up there and Blade.

Does anyone remember an 80's vampire film called Fright Night? That used to put the shits up me as a kid as well!

Steve Guppy was bad, but how the fuck David Unsworth got an England cap is beyond me!

I search bookstores for his books everytime I go in one and can never find them. I read Gone Baby Gone years ago and have been looking for more of the same . The closest I have come is Michael Connelly with his Harry Bosch books. I will now have to trawl Amazon and the like for more Lehane .Thanks .

If you like Lehane and Michael Connelly I would recommend the Robert Crais Elvis cole series ( start with the Monkeys raincoat ) and John connolly and his Charlie Parker series ( start with Every dead thing ) and of course the James Lee Burke Dave Robicheaux novels. There are a few good new series as well, the Craig Russell books set in Germany are quite promising starting with Blood Eagle.

Don't know how to post the video; but True Skool by Coldcut is a boss summer tune.

I had a Neapolitan Mastiff which I had to leave to live in my mum and dads when I moved out, he is a brilliant dog but can be hard work and tries to rule the roost.

I have a Boston Terrier pup now about 4 months old.

Just had a tooth out today, fucking killing me now and the cunt said I can't drink for 2-3 weeks. And I am going to see Oasis on Sunday!

That has got to be bullshit, there is no way I am standing in the middle of 70,000 people sober.

I'm going on the Sunday, should be good with the Enemy and Kasabian supporting.

I am going tomorrow as well, it starts at 8 so I would try and get there for about quarter to 8. I saw him at the Philharmonic last year and he was funny; but I had a tit in front of me who wouldn't shut up all the way through it so I missed a bit.

Liverpool Echo, 20th May 2009.

AN AMERICAN radio DJ issued a grovelling apology to Liverpool fans for comments he made on air about the Hillsborough tragedy.

Reds supporters in the USA launched a boycott of Los Angeles-based talkshow host Steven Cohen after he suggested fans were partly responsible for the 1989 disaster.

Shock jock Cohen made the comments two days before the 20th anniversary on his radio show, World Soccer Daily, which is broadcast on satellite radio and on the internet.

His claims provoked outrage amongst Liverpool supporters both in the UK and USA and advertisers.

Four high-profile sponsors have already pulled out and it is understood satellite station Setanta are considering not renewing their contract when it expires.

Ex-Reds defender Steve Nicol, who was playing for Liverpool on the day of the disaster and is now head coach at top US side New England Revolution, said he would no longer participate in Cohen’s shows until an apology was issued.

Cohen finally made that apology this week, more than a month after his comment that people “showing up without tickets, hellbent on getting into somewhere they shouldn’t be going because they don’t have tickets” was the “root cause” of the tragedy.

He said: “My apology is directed at any and all people whose feelings have been hurt and people who have had awful memories and scars re-opened.

“The apology is heartfelt, genuine and sincere.”

He added: “I believe in the freedom of speech, opinion and expression and hold these values and freedoms as being among the most treasured of all freedoms.

“I recognise that with my position as one of the hosts of a popular radio show, I have a responsibility to my audience and perhaps the radio is not the ideal place to express every opinion and every belief I have if the net result is many people being hurt and upset.”

Mel Abshier, of the North American Liverpool FC Branches, circulated an official boycott notice on May 5 after exchanging a series of emails with Cohen, in which he said he had nothing further to discuss.

Mr Abshier, whose mother is from Kirkdale, said it was not the first time Cohen courted controversy with his opinions about the Hillsborough disaster.

He said: “I did not have any relatives at Hillsborough, but you do not need family members to have been there to understand the tragedy and horror of it all.”

Antony Ananis, a Liverpool supporter who lives in New Mexico, set up a Facebook internet group called “Putting Steve Cohen Straight”, which has more than 2,000 members.

Mr Ananis, who is originally from Halewood, said: “Preferably, I would like to see him off the air, but we should also be trying to educate him about what really happened.”

Cohen claimed he and his fiancee’s children received death threats following his comments.

He said: “It is disappointing people think it is decent and correct to threaten people until an apology is made.”

I've managed a shop for years and you normally get a 12 month guarantee with the shop on something you purchase, but with something like a handbag you would have to prove it wasn't down to reasonable wear and tear which is easier said than done.

The best way to get something done is to complain to the manager of the shop/their head office or the manufacturer of the bag, maybe mention you are not happy with the attitude of the staff though it doesn't sound like he has said much wrong to me!

It's a bit mad really because I've got the job but still don't know what I'll be doing there. I don't even know what days you work or what hours you have to do!

Can't post the pictures but Manta Force were one of the first things I remember collecting.

Got the job, got a letter on Saturday about it. Got to wait for all the security checks and shit to come back before I get a start date.

Adams picking up MOTM after the league cup final win only to drop him on his shoulder and put him out of the fa cup final. Brilliant.

Steve Morrow?

How did it go you jammy git?

It went alright I think, they just went over the questions on the application and asked me to elaborate a bit on them. I'm not feeling that confident, but then I didn't think I would even get an interview so you never know!

Had my interview today, should know if I have the job by the middle of next week.

The application was a joke, it took me ages to do it but a mate of mine got someone else to fill his in for him. He is still waiting to hear back but it is silly he might get an interview on the back of someone else filling his form in whilst other people fill their own in themselves, probably to a good level, and don't get an interview. The skills and behavioural application is open to cheating more than a standard application form.

To be honest if I get the job I will be leaving a better paid job to go there, but there are just no prospects to progress in my current workplace and I am hoping there are more chances for promotion in the CRB.

Bastard, I never got a letter!

My letter was only dated yesterday, so they are probably still sending them out the rest of this week. I am sure you will have one soon.

Good luck!

Make sure you wear a monocle. Never fails.

Don't worry I've got the monocle, tophat and walking stick covered.

Got my letter today, I have an interview for next Thursday.

Anyone got any tips on the interview and what to wear etc...

Thanks.

No, still waiting!

This is going beyond a joke now, if I don't hear something this week I am just going to assume I haven't got it.

No, still waiting.

I am thinking by the end of next week we surely must have heard something.
