  1. Go to google and you will see it is the 30th anniversay of pacman. Press insert coin and have a game. Enjoy yourselves
  2. When John Basilone's wife went to visit his parents...a little bit of dirt got in my eye
  3. Robin Hood...prince of shit. 1/10 I want my money back
  4. I would refer you to my earlier posts "I have watched the first four in 720p and it is top notch. The only thing that stops it from being as good as BofB is the nature of the war itself. The European campaign did have some element of glory and romance to them. The great epic battles and battle lines.THe failed missions etc. There was aclear battleground with epic losses and victories. In the Pacific the campaign was a nasty slog fromone shitty little island to another. No real sense of two sides indulging in epic battles.Just one nasty littlejungle fight after another. As a result the Pacific campaign is less glorious and has less of a clear and defined narrative. It was just like this programme...seriously disjointed and seriously fucking grim " And "However, it is grim, uncomfortable watching. B of B was alway superb and none of it was difficult to watch. It was actually quite heroic in the true sense (not in the bullshit Hollywood sense). But the Pacific campaign and hence this programme is unremittingly fucking grim. One long, sweaty, jungle fight after another on shitty little islands. A great programme but much more uncomfortable viewing that BofB "
  5. What the feck is that? Why would anyone choose to have a monster like that in their house?
  6. Hot Tub Time Machine. An enjoyable romp. Cusack and the gang played their roles well. The plot and storyline was not too demanding. The 80s nostalgia was not heavy handed. Enjoyable and harmless bubblegum. 7/10.
  7. So great that you are on the web whilst watching it?
  8. For kick-ass Kick-Ass (2010) DVDRip XViD-MAX Torrent - btjunkie
  9. No its not rivalling life on mars. Ashes to Ashes is and always will be utter shite
  10. Four Lions. A very, very funny movie with some genuinely inspired moments. However, this lacked the depth of Morris's TV work and was a tad too slapstick in places. 7.5/10.
  11. OK anyone know of a host called evohosting.co.uk? They offer 5 gig of storage and 30gig data transfer for £40 per year plut VAT. Also which are the reliable review sites?
  12. The Centurion...bit of mess but some good battle scenes 4/10 How To Train Your Dragon...soppy but sweet 7/10
  13. Mad Men...slow subtle and brilliant. The Pacific...but not as good as Band of Brothers Swingtown...a very well crafted 1970s drama. Cheers...best sitcom ever (especially series 1-5)
  14. At present hostexcellence offer unlimited storage (I only actually need 10 gig or so) and unlimited bandwidth for £8 per month. I only maybe need 20 gig bandwidth per month
  15. Nope I run a very simple local history website. I need quite a bit of storage space because it is image intensive. In addition I need quite a bit of storage.
  16. I need a good webhosting plan. I run a local history website. It is obviously non profit making. At presnt I use hostexcellence.com they charge me $131 per year (about £80). I wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper and better plans Someone has recommended justhost.com and godaddy but reviews on the web are very mixed
  17. The Infidel...patchy..some genuinely funny parts...but without the lead performance it would have failed hopelessly due to a hit and miss script by the untalented David Baddiel...5/10 Before the film there was an excellent trailor for FOUR LIONS...cannot wait for that
  18. Do you stalk everyone here or just me you weirdo
  19. Cemetery Junction. A new film by Ricky Gervais set in Reading in 1973. The main story is three young lads trying to escape the drudgery of life in Cemetery Junction. A very good film. Funny in places, poignant in others. Well worth a watch. Whilst all the props etc looked 1973 this part of the film did not work. It felt like a modern movie doing 1973. It felt like 1973 scrubbed clean and sanitized. 7/10
  20. Actually I have a degree, a masters and a PhD and all from Russell group Universities. Now pay attention to what I actually said. The nature of the war in the Pacific both in terms of the grim nature of island/jungle fighting and the disjointed nature of the campaign make it more difficult to encapsulate in the type of narrative structure needed for a programme of this nature. Unlike the European campaign which lends itself more easily to a structured narrative. Also in the European campaign you had the "grand battles" and simple lines of combat and structured advanced. In the pacific you did not have any of that. It was one grim battle over one pointless mound of dirt after another. As a result it is a high quality TV programme and better than 99.9% of the shite on TV these days but it was always going to struggle compared to BofB.
  21. Thanks for your pointless abuse and for showing what it would have been like if I had not gone to University. Your analysis is as weak as your spelling. I pointed out a problem with the programme. The nature of the war in the Pacific was too grim and too disjointed for it to be as successful as a piece of television as Band of Brothers. I am not sure why this would get a chav like you so excited
  22. The new V sucks donkey dick. It is badly written and badly acted. The female leader is fit and would get it (lizard or not) but this remake sucks. THe CGI is abysmal. You can tell the shots inside the ship are all fake and less effective that the 1980s one
  23. Exclusive: Barclays To Hunt For Liverpool Buyer The American businessmen who own Liverpool Football Club have hired heavyweight City advisers to oversee an auction of part or all of the Premiership outfit, I have learned. Tom Hicks and George Gillett are on the verge of appointing Barclays Capital, the investment bank, to handle a sale process that will begin shortly by inviting new offers for the club. It's the latest chapter of an ownership saga that has angered Liverpool fans in recent months as they've seen their team knocked out of the Champions' League and fall away surprisingly early in the Premiership title race. The owners hope that recruiting Barcap will inject fresh impetus into their quest for new investment, although their preference is now for an outright sale rather than to find an investor prepared to buy a minority stake. "This is almost certain to be an exit process," a person close to the situation told me tonight. Notwithstanding that, Hicks and Gillett have no intention of selling on the cheap and will rebuff offers for the club that they believe fail to reflect its value. Equally, they may decide to sell only a minority stake if that offers the best immediate value available to them. As I understand it, Barcap will therefore advise the owners on all options open to them, not just an outright sale. To provide reassurance for potential buyers that the auction is a genuine attempt to sell the club, Martin Broughton, the chairman of British Airways, will be confirmed as Liverpool's chairman in the early part of next week. His appointment, which is not quite certain yet but which is overwhelmingly likely, will mean Hicks and Gillett stepping down as co-chairmen. Broughton's role at Liverpool will effectively be that of an interim chairman given that I understand he will play a key role in overseeing the sale of the club. He would seem to be a well-suited candidate for such a role, given his deep personal interest in sport (he's a keen Chelsea fan and a former chairman of the British Horseracing Board) and his experience of handling challenging corporate situations. The perception among potential investors that Hicks and Gillett are at loggerheads has played a significant role in frustrating the search for new money. Rhone Capital, a US private equity firm, did table a proposal several weeks ago that would have seen it acquire a minority equity stake (that would have included management control) in Liverpool for about £100m. Hicks and Gillett were not keen on the idea, and the offer has now lapsed. There's certainly other interest out there too, including from Middle Eastern and Indian investors, although there are no further firm proposals on the table yet. However, the prospect of full ownership is likely to whet the appetite of many buyers given the possibility of a move to a new stadium and the latent commercial potential of the club. Liverpool needs an injection of capital to meet the demands of its main creditor, Royal Bank of Scotland, that it reduce its debt by about £100m. Given that RBS is majority-owned by the British taxpayer, it's unlikely in the extreme that it would want to take control of the club. That said, the bank is determined to see Liverpool refinanced in the short term. This news about Liverpool increases the likelihood that English football's three most famous clubs will change hands, given a potential takeover bid for Arsenal from Stan Kroenke and the Red Knights' plans to bid for Manchester United. Liverpool and its owners declined to comment this evening. http://blogs.news.sky.com/kleinman/P...2-33f7a7ca43e0
  24. Sky are now reporting that the Yanks have appointed Barclays Capital to find a purchaser for the club
