Over the Christmas period I was looking at The Guardian's US coverage and there were several shootings reported, in fact they probably only published the most bizarre or shocking... there was a police sergeant who killed his two kids and his wife then shot himself, a 10 year old who shot his...
Seeing that this was bounced I checked my account this morning and nothing....I get home and just had an e-mail saying congrats, you have won ? does the draw run over a few days then ? I thought it was all drawn on the first working day of the month and you were advised within 24 hours ?... oh...
Yes, watched this, very interesting programme indeed. He had a quiet arrogance and a wonderful charm and was excellent in many fields, amazing when you consider he left school practically uneducated.
Have referenced here or in a similar thread that " Archie, The man who would be Cary Grant " is...
Saw the first episode of the new series of The Tourist last night. Not sure if it's " Good " to watch as its got very gory all of a sudden and also rather weird. The action has moved to Ireland now in the hope of finding out Elliot's past and recovering his memory. So in a nutshell, we have a...
Would be interesting to see this with an overlay of Albion fixtures/results...do you drink more on match days and do the scores reflect in increased intake ? This could prove the Homer Simpson Rule.." Alcohol, the cause and the solution to life's problems "
He's become ever more Marmite over the years ..plenty still think he's a genius but that number is slowly dwindling now. I never got his " cringe " style of humour so don't bother watching.
There are plenty of decent investigative journos around, it's just that the scandals they expose now are just ignored or excused...ref, Johnson, Cummins, Trump etc etc. John Pilger was one of the best and was required viewing/ reading....RIP John.
Usually a 4/5 part Dr Who of 25 mins a pop could effectively be broken down in to 50 minutes of actual running time... the " Sandpit " era of Sylvester McCoy's Doctor was one of the worst..
Its down to many little evolutions and adaptions, they never had the picture quality and special effects budgets available today.
Dr Who Rule #1 "However intelligent and evil an adversary is, their method of killing is usually to walk slowly forwards with hands/polyps/tentacles extended and...
I'm not sure there is such a thing as " Innocent Russians ". Most of the country firmly backs Putin and there have been little or no protests at the slaughter of Ukrainians or indeed the slaughter of their own conscripts and troops. By attacking Belogorad the Ukrainians are waking up the locals...
Can't believe that Ukraine will agree to a ceasefire. Its patently obvious that the Russians are struggling and are running out of ideas and troops. Putin will happily agree to any kind of ceasefire in which he keeps some or all of the invaded territories. he will bare faced lie to the Russian...
Years back I had a holiday in Jersey and in a little Spar type supermarket they had a whole display of different sizes of Blue Nun...it was in 1.5L, 1L, 750 ml and a little pack of either 6 or 4 125ml bottles.....Black Tower is still available as another option...
Yes, just 25% of a misfiring football club and, yes, you are correct, this probably deserves its own thread. There was something I read somewhere recently that pointed out that people who strike it lucky, and do very well in a chosen career, should not necessarily be trusted to do as...
