    [Film] The 100 best films of the 21st century - The Guardian

    Winters bone is fantastic. And to think that Leave No Trace (also by Debra Granik) was also shitehoused by US.

    [Football] Soccer Saturday

    Me too. I generally listen to talksport as I prefer listening to chat rather than music as I'm on my own most of the day. I hate Wednesdays with that idiot on there so always turn it off when he is on. His accent does my head in but his language more so. I think he only has 20 words in his...

    [Brighton] Boxes for moving house

    Just the normal rectangular fabric ones you can buy, not the strong carrier bag type. They're deceptively big. Not after I found out how much boxes were. To be fair we were moving out of a flat so we didn't have loads of stuff to move. You can't just shove things in a loft and hoard stuff in a...

    [Brighton] Boxes for moving house

    When i last moved I went to Lidl and bought 30 large bags for life. I found you can fit more in them than boxes and they're easier to carry.

    [Misc] Early 90s fashion.

    For me it was NafNaf, eclipse and spliffs tshirts. But I was a skater so baggy jeans all the way, Susst was my brand of choice with a chain wallet.

    [Humour] Greg Wallace

    Good on him. Im 41 and look in absolutely nowhere near that kind of shape. Makes me feel feel pretty ashamed actually when I consider what I could look like.

    [Other Sport] When you think your crash was bad.........

    Both nasty but racetracks are as safe as they can be nowadays. There's no trees, lamp posts, kerbs or such like to wrap yourself around. I think thats why the barrier from the first crash was there, if that bike had carried on and collided with another rider then it would have been a much...

    [Misc] Phew! Scorchio!!

    Not quite, when I was 19 back in 98 I spent 2 weeks with 2 mates all inclusive in Ibiza, my pillow on the camp bed was a bag of sponges cut up into small squares. Good times. They are our customer, we make a lot of the bits for them to weld and bolt together, they get all the credit but we do...

    [Misc] Phew! Scorchio!!

    Tell me about it. And being a gout sufferer I'm worried. I keep putting water in but nothing comes out of the old fella. It just comes out of my skin instead.

    [Misc] Phew! Scorchio!!

    I set, program and operate CNC Brakepresses. One of jobs is for a customer who makes temporary football ground stands. (We did all the steelwork for Salford Citys ground). Each treadplate is 100kg and measures 2400mm x 1200mm, two folds per part, which involves lifting it off a pallet, onto a...

    [Misc] Phew! Scorchio!!

    First day back at work after 11 days off. In a factory with no aircon. Asbestos roof with windows in the roof running the length of it. Massive windows all down the south side magnifying the heat. Don't have a thermometer. I have drunk 6 litres of water so far today and yet to have a piss...

    Is it one of the big players or a small bookie? Some of my accounts at the smaller bookies have been taken over by the bigger companies.

    [News] Major explosion in Beirut

    Looks like a similar force to the Pepcon explosion in the US years ago. Pepcon used to make rocket fuel for the shuttles. https://youtu.be/_KuGizBjDXo

    [Football] Saudis withdraw from Newcastle deal

    To be fair we did OK this season but I'd have liked to have "spawned" as many wins as they have. Pretty football is all well and good but points win prizes (or guaranteed PL football)

    [Football] Wigan - Hull 7-0 at half-time

    I was listening to the excellent #priceoffootball podcast the other day and I'm pretty sure Kieran Maguire said there could be an additional 20pt deduction for something else. May getting a tad confused with something else though.

    [Food] The Curry Secret

    Hi all, A few years ago now (I think) there was a great curry thread on here about home made curries. I fancy a crack at one tomorrow and I used a recipe from The Curry Secret last time. Someone on here kindly provided me with a digital copy of the book but I have since lost it and can't...
