  1. Are you quoting Drive In by The Beach Boys there? no, just the advert that sometimes pops up on here with a picture of a bear in a hat that says only I can prevent forest fires it feels like quite a responsibility, not least as I live in an urban area and wouldn't even see a forest fire until it was biblical I think it's just limpid trying to pressurise me into renewing the subs Only who can prevent forest fires? You have selected “you”, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you.
  2. Not sure if i like the sound of westwood, delph and sanchez all playing, if we want to score some goals this year we need some more attacking options. You can't grind out 1-0 wins every week.
  3. Been reading that oatcake forum for a stoke perspective and my god they are bloody deluded. Fair play the majority have congratulated us on the win but they seem to think they are the equivalent of Barcelona or Real Madrid these days, the chat before hand was about their amazing front line which consists of bojan who is still living off 5 year old hype, crouch who is fricking useless, Ireland who was permanently shit for us and is also living off 5 year old hype and diouf who has no previous prem experience. They do have a solid team and can probably claim to be better than us these days but they seriously expected to just brush us aside, it's sad how poorly we are rated from the outside
  4. Good thing about that performance is that you can see it translating into home wins, it wasn't just backs to the wall we actually attacked in numbers so when the onus is on us to attack maybe we can actually do that if we keep playing to that standard.
  5. Loving the passion showed by Senderos there, people will do well to remember this game when he eventually makes a mistake, hes clearly a decent player on his day. Delph and Richardson didn't stop running all game, excellent effort all round.
  6. Ouch this clearly hasn't gone too well. On that note Robredo has been playing some really good tennis lately, he can be backed at 500/1 on betfair but I'm actually looking for a normal bookie to back him each way, don't think he will win but be could easily get to quarters or semis the way he is playing.
  7. Its passable fare but essentially completely pointless like most hollywood remakes of foreign language films because the remake is much worse. See: Oldboy / The Ring / The Grudge for other classic examples.
  8. They have obviously marked your internet activity and money going out to a dodgy russian website seemed perfectly fine.
  9. Let the right one in is on film 4 tomorow, do yourself a favour if you haven't seen it and record it. Probably in my top 10-15 films ever.
  10. Karl Pilkington is masquerading as Rugeley Villa!
  11. Memento - masterclass of a film. Still enjoy it just as much on the 10th viewing.
  12. Rachel Riley definitely cheers me up, she's definitely not the fittest woman on tv but there's something very sexy about her.
  13. Don’t you hate all ‘superhero’ films though? Saying that you’d have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy parts of Guardians. nope. Some super hero films are good. A couple are excellent. However there are a LOT of superhero/comic book films that are total shite. So I'm very wary of the genre generally as the majority are, IMO, poor I'll still give credit when it's due though. Totally agree. Superhero films really have passed me by, I can't help thinking this is just for kids. The amount of xmen films and spin offs is unreal and I'm afraid they are all shit. Batman trilogy is just about passable and avengers was ok. Iron man films total shit. Best super hero film is either punisher war zone which is so bad it's good and super, where he literally just goes around bashing people with a wrench
  14. Little miss sunshine - nice little film, I enjoyed it. Steve carrell seems to be good in everything, shame his most famous role is playing an idiot in anchorman when he's capable of so much more. Hard to believe that little girl is pretty hot these days.
  15. I think people are failing to separate "style of comedy" with "character". David Brent and Andy Millman aren't even close to being the same character. They have the same voice and accent, obviously, and similar comedy styles, but their characters are totally different. Similarly with Gervais himself and Brent. Gervais is similar to Brent in comedy style because that is his style of comedy. But as characters they're totally different people. FWIW I'm a fan of Gervais' work. I don't much like him as a person or his standup, but The Office, Extras and Derek have all been superb in their own way. And the Ricky Gervais show and in particular their XFM shows are the funniest things I've ever heard. Comedy gold. Regarding Pilk, he's not a character. A listen of the XFM shows will confirm that. yes he plays up to it a bit, but that really is him. That being said, I wasn't a huge fan of An Idiot Abroad. Too scripted and set up for my liking although it had its moments. Agree with Steveo. Gervais is nothing like Brent, i have probably listened to 200 hours of their radio show from the xfm days and its quite hard to keep up an act over that many days/years/hours. Same for Pilky, definitely not an act, just a typical downbeat Manc! You can listen to them all on youtube and they really are one of the funniest things you will ever hear, granted XFM wasnt exactly a mainstream station but they had a fairly primetime slot on a sat afternoon and regularly turned up with nothing planned at all and some of the innuendo and swearing is hard to believe at times. I remember one show where they were discussing Ricky being on holiday for next weeks show and Karl was having a go that he hadn't recorded any trails for the best of show so he started doing them in the middle of the show!
  16. I just can't get my head around having a cabinet full of guns and that being perfectly normal. Different cultures i guess. Quite happy for the police to carry them but normal citizens not so much.
  17. No idea why but i watched One Chance yesterday evening. Some of the welsh accents were a bit iffy but it was watchable Sunday evening fare.
  18. Looks promising but when I hear the line love is the one thing that transcends time and space I died a little inside
  19. My main issue with any film with Russell Crowe in is that I can't stand him. Might watch Noah eventually.
  20. Yeah the orphanage is great actually, quite liked that Sam raimi film drag me to hell. There's a few decent ones but not enough for my liking.
  21. I love horror films but the genre is dying a death at the minute. Last 10 years I've probably seen a handful of decent horror films, saw 1, dead silence and possibly insidious 1. This current trend of having every horror film set inside someone's house e.g. paranormal activity and the conjuring, I just don't get it.
  22. Rebecca Adlington - 2 stone lighter and with a new nose. You would, wouldn't you?
  23. It's a bit presumptuous to say Froch would get destroyed by him, he's never fought anyone at his level and froch carries as much power as anyone. Agree that he wouldn't take the fight though.
  24. Froch v GGG would be one hell of a fight.
