Seven Psychopaths.
Pretty enjoyable to be honest! Not as good as In Bruges but I still seriously enjoyed it.

Just finished Looking For Alaska. I've been looking at the John Green books for a while and I'm really glad I picked it up. I read it in no time and will be lending it to everybody I know.
I wouldn't say it was the most revolutionary of books but well worth a read.

I'm not too fussed. But I would say that I do spend a lot of time checking out the drivers especially when they tie down their overalls. I'd say maybe there is a place for them if there was a guy and girl stood together? Meh, I'd like to see them all wearing a bit more but I'm not overly offended. G...

Maybe we should start up a missing persons thread.

If I was in charge of House (and if money was no consideration) I'd have ended it after the two part opener to Season 6 or possibly at the end of that season. 7 was actually okay but 8 was just getting silly. It was still good, but near the end it was more of a personal show featuring some medical ...

I've been rewatching House recently. One of those shows that I love but have to take a break after a couple of seasons because the same formula on repeat can get a bit predictable.

Heard a tawny owl outside the past couple of nights. Combined with the sparrowhawks I saw a couple of weeks ago and the buzzards I saw circling the Co-op the other day I'd say my town's doing well for wildlife atm! for big birds anyway, sounds like the mice are having a fairy cakes time! Nah, the b...

I think things would become more automatic if they had a minimum pit stop time. Say it was 4 seconds and you get used to saying go after 4 seconds then you might just do it on autopilot. The problems tend to occur when its taking longer than normal anyway.

It's also a good way of getting them to hang up when they do get through. 'We're registered with the telephone pre-' and they're gone. These people are usually working to a script. I find going "off script" works a treat. Question: can I tell you about our product? Answer: Green Question: your age ...

Keep getting recorded phone call regarding PPI :evil: MMagnum PPI? I hung up, no idea, but maybe I should complain, it's plain wrong. You can tell if it's Magnum by the hawaiian shirt - otherwise just register with the telephone preference service It won't cut out all nuisance calls, but it does he...

Not in any way digging at anyone using a book for study, but An old friend of mine who died several years ago at a good age told me he once spoke to the author of one of the famous books used to dissect the times and find nirvana in, and the person told him, (in my words not his) that he can not wo...

Just picked up To Kill a Mockingbird f or a re-read. Followed by The Crow Road. Think I've given up on A Feast For Crows for now... One of these 'classics' that i can never work out how it became a classic? do you think its good? Same with grapes of wroth and many others. I only consider about 20% ...

I'm not drawing any conclusions or anything but this weather has gone crazy since that child was born. I'm not saying they're connected but they're definitely connected. Nah, in all fairness I'm happy for Will and Kate in the same way I'd be happy for a neighbour or if someone came up to me in the s...

Watched This Is The End yesterday and I think if you'd given me weeks to guess that ending I wouldn't have done.

Would hate to see Cal leave the sport but can't stand the idea of seeing him on a Ducati. Having said that I hope Hayden finds somewhere, even if it's just a CRT ride. Just like the guy!

Oh wait, I've had an afternoon sat in the sun in the garden! Think I'll go for this instead...

I've never seen Spooks but I had a lecturer who was obsessed with it. Brought it up every lecture. Would talk about how it's made him really paranoid. He also seemed to think The Day After Tomorrow and Dante's Peak were good examples to use in our hazards lectures. Thinking about it, I'm not sure h...

Jo Brand - Just seems to moan about men and her marriage. You forgot that she's fat. That's the other one she uses constantly. I've seen Ross Noble most often so I'd say he has to be up there! I also like Mark Watson, he always makes me laugh and is such a nice guy too. And Jon Richardson. Although...

Fiiinally finished my boyfriend's birthday present! Just the cake to go (decorations already made) and we're sorted! Oh, and getting it all there...

Ok, this will do for now. Unless I take another one before the end of the month I prefer.

Ooo I'm gonna say this now before the race! Rossi has currently amassed a total of 4646 point throughout his career. Is that right? Did you just notice that or was it mentioned on coverage somewhere? The MotoGP twitter put it up a couple of days ago. Sadly that moment has passed but I thought it wa...

Shutter Island. Epic, loved it, brilliant. Any takers? I can't find anyone who's watched it. I thought it was pretty good, although I'd read the book beforehand so I knew about the 'surprise' I thought it was pretty obvious what the surprise was throughout the film anyway. I figured it out from the...

@ Angus - I really, really recommend Angel; if you liked Buffy. It's more adult and has some really brilliant stuff in it. It can be a little odd to have seen BtVS and the way things progress. Anyway, started watching Spooks on Netflix. Brilliant show, really enjoying it. I've never seen Spooks but...

The Crow Road's being shown on BBC4 right now. Will be on iplayer I'm guessing! Do like the version of the book.

I was surprised they didn't have the band playing the music terribly in the show. Worst part of the books is the killing of the main characters :( Maybe I'm just twisted, but I think the best part of the books is the killing of the main characters! :twisted: I like how you can be genuinely afraid t...

Graduation stuff sorttted! Now to not fall over... Enjoy it! It's a fun day. I was worried about falling over too, even more so because I wanted to wear heels with my dress! But luckily I managed it :D I've gone against heels as I never normally wear them anyway. If I stick with flats and crawl acr...

Just took a look on Rachie_D's webpage there and i must say there are some cracking pictures on there, you have a talent. :) Keep at it!! :) :nod: Just had a wee look myself and I fully agree! That Senna one is excellent! Great stuff :thumbup: :blush: Thank you both! It really is lovely to hear fro...

I watched the match, starting a little late as I was still watching the post-GP coverage. It was a great moment sure, but to say he deserves a knighthood now seems a little bit much. Then again, he is a Gold Medal winner and has won 2 grand slams and may yet soon become the highest rated player in ...

All the up-themselves-I'm-right-and-if-you-don't-agree-you're-a-misogynistic-male-pig comments and pictures that have sprung up on social media about Andy Murray NOT being the first Brit to win Wimbledon, what about Virginia Wade?

I think you're all missing the biggest story of the championship. This: http://labourlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/BOlQvm2CYAAgHwr.jpg-large.jpeg :lol: Anyway, thought Murray truly deserved it. Was lovely to watch it and I'm chuffed I've been again. Although this will make queuing even longer ...

I'm hoping Lisicki does well too, she seems to just love tennis and is always smiling so I'm happy for her to win the whole thing despite beating Stosur. I think Murray could be in for a challenge with Janiwicz to be honest. Wouldn't like to be calling it, especially if he plays how he did against V...
