One of my favourite films of last year (page 28 of this thread). Seems like the director took a whole lot of liberties with the editing process though if you check out the Twin Galaxies forum. Great movie though.

Yes mate, saw both parts last year (think I mentioned it at the time in this thread) and they were superb, Vincent Cassel really impressed me. Ditto. Got both through lovefilm and watched them back to back on a Sunday afternoon. Very entertaining, thought provoking and occassionally very funny. I think i mentioned it earlier but there is a film called the Baadher Meinhoff Complex and its subject matter is referenced in the 2nd Mesrine film. It isnt too important but i would watch that first, mostly because its an excellent film but also as it gives a context to the direction the character istrying to move in and the political mood of the time. That said, i didnt know anything about the subject before, whereas others may not be so ignorant. Another +1 for Mesrine 1 and 2. Also in agreement with the Baader Mienhoff Complex - one of the most compelling films I've seen in ages. Might dig it out again this weekend. And to add a recommendation: Been in the to-do pile for months now and I enjoyed it an awful lot more than I was expecting. Bit ham-fisted in parts but thoroughly enjoyable nevertheless.

You would need to speak to the Financial Ombudsman here in the UK. Give them a ring, they will tell you what to do and will sort this out for you. http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/ If you don't, these companies will keep on talking shit and keep on trying to screw people out of money with false promises and all other bullshit. I had crap with TalkTalk for ages and went to the regulator who sorted it out. Most times you don't need to invoke the ombudsman - just the threat of it is usually enough to get them worried enough to sort it out for you. Involving the beak means a shed-load of paperwork for them and a whole bunch of hassle they can do without so if they think you're serious, they'll probably (hopefully) sharpen their act up quick enough.

Just had a ticket offer out of the blue so I'm definitely excited now!

Two words - Banking Ombudsman. Drop that into casual conversation with your friends at Virgin and see how they change their minds.

Welcome new member Brettlee! Is this you?

Want, 100%

Bit late to the debate but I particularly enjoyed Osborne's answer to the student girl about guarantees she'd have a job once she finished university. His answer described an initiative that the conservatives have come up with to help people into work and guess what, it's almost to-the-letter a project that already exists that I'm mentoring on and has been set up by Labour. Pity Darling wasn't aware of that as he'd have been able to make him look even sillier than he did.

Possibly already mentioned in this thread but having watched it tonight, I thought I'd throw it in anyway:

+1. Saw it at the Electric Cinema on Saturday and it was a whole heap of funny. Now very interested to see how Scott Pilgrim vs. the World looks when it comes out later in the year.

Not that far behind the curve - I watched this for the first time last night: (Highly recommended too - hence it's place in this thread)

Not got many Villa shirts as they were "released" from their storage facility to the benefit of Barnardo's by an unwitting (and ultimately contrite) parent a few years ago. I think all I've got is: Current home Last Year home and away Muller home AST home Other Football: Beitar Jerusalem France '98, Zidane Spain, 2008 Germany, 2006 Team Canada (current) Dortmund (from about 3 yrs ago) Ajax PSG Holland Every Scotland shirt for the last 15 or so years Bayern 4 or 5 Rangers from the last ten years Other non-football 13 Vancouver Canucks (ice hockey) Jerseys from the last 18 years - two of which are team-signed. Luongo Jersey from the Van Olympics Gretzky jersey, Team Canada Kesler USA hockey Jersey Ramirez Red Sox Houston Astros LA Dodgers Mostly, I just buy a shirt of whatever team plays in towns I visit.

Don't know if we've had a thread before to post your favourite news stories but I stumbled across this one today and thought I'd share for the sheer WTF factor. Razor Sharp?

Probably your mate taking the piss... nah, just being a sheep! Probably this this poor bugger:

Bloody vigilante

Mate it has been BALTIC here lately, weve already had 3 bouts of snow! Glad I cancelled my planned trip to Charlotte then

So you did. I was sure I'd seen mention of it in this thread but when I went to have a look, I didn't think it'd have been as far back as page 17. Seems Sly didn't quite share your enthusiasm though :winkold:

Gloves and polo-necks in SC? A very disappointing development!

Careful Rob, you'll set Brumerican off again :winkold:

Thought this had already been mentioned in this thread but maybe not. Thoroughly engrossing stuff:

Agreed - saw it on Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it too. Totally bugged me trying to work out where I'd seen the male lead before then I realised he was Tommy in 3rd Rock.

Can't think of anything I've seen him in that I didn't enjoy. He was due to play the Mark Walberg role in the Lovely Bones, but pulled out. More evidence to back up the notion that only picks good roles

Can't think of anything I've seen him in that I didn't enjoy.

Saw this last night for the first time. Filmically it's not the best but still a fairly compelling story of a Jewish kid who rails against his upbringing by becoming a neo-nazi.
