  1. I'm pretty certain it doesnt make any difference if the film is 3D, you'd still be able to copy it like you would any other DVD or Blu-Ray to a blank disc. I say pretty certain as it's something I've never done, but I do know that certain DVD & Blu-Ray ripper/burner programmes allow you to transfer standard 2D films into 3D when you burn them onto a new disc. As for downloading, I guess there may be 3D rips around? Never looked.
  2. I watched Monsters (nuneaton reprzent) last night and it wasnt nearly as good as I was told it is. Basically it's a soppy love story bleeeeeeghhh and not a very good one at that. Still, not bad for a directorial debut
  3. yay I love how VILLAFC2000 posts...!
  4. Lower Bullens row F seat 7 for me. Practically exactly the same spot as last year
  5. Shame that it'd be pretty much impossible to implement. Things like Milk Tokens still exist, and actually I saw a Council run scheme giving food (not money) to needy families on the news yesterday. We do try and do it though, take the Social Fund for example. A person will say I need £x amount of money to get a new fridge cos the old one broke, and new carpets cos we had a flood and so on. These cases are looked at individually, and money may or may not be given - but when it is handed over it's just in good faith that we say 'here is the money for your new sofa'. If they spend it on drugs instead, well, not alot we can do about it. Any sort of even miniscule change will cost millions to implement, due to the number of people it will affect. Take the actual benefit computer system - it's a horribly archaic system from the 80s but due to 'financial reasons' it has never been properly updated, or better, replaced. It's like working in MS-DOS Thing is your families income and capital is not assessed when claiming Housing Benefit and Income Support. Should it be? Well, perhaps, but for the time being the only things that will be looked at are your personal circumstances, and the earnings and capital you and your partner (if applicable) have. This may change with the introduction of Universal Credit - we don't really know yet. We are pretty harsh in some areas when it comes to money in the family when claiming though - the best example is money received as a prize, could be in the form of lottery wins, or bingo, etc. A really good example, a few years ago a chap won £30k on a tv quiz show. He didn't tell us immediately, so was overpaid for that until the time we found out, and then when he was aware he had to much capital he tried to get rid of it so he could carry on claiming. Gave £10k to his wife, who took the money and ran. Gave £10k to his son, and spent ~£5k on a car. That put him under the threshold, but in the eyes of 'the soc' the capital is still viewed as being his He ended up with his life in tatters, all for winning a quiz show on tv. Even had to get rid of his car so he had some money to live on Is this a good time to mention I and my colleagues do recover a fair bit of money back for the tax payer from these horrible nasty layabouts ugh sorry poor unfortunate souls?
  6. Probably play Mass Effect first. Unless you really like Batman. or cowboys. or racers. Definately try and get your hands on Uncharted, I think both were released together as part of a budget range in the run up to U3. It's the second best exclusive on PS3. The best being Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars! Seeing as you like football, and I guess you like racers seeing as you bought NFS, you really need to to try it, there's a free demo on PSN and the game cost like £6 or something. Basically it's a football game for upto 8 players, but you use cars that can fly instead of people. It is amazing
  7. Was impressed with Weimann, looked composed, confident, good control and ability to run with the ball, and very strong. A ready made replacement for Heskey? I hope so. Sad to see Marc getting so frustrated, things just aren't going well for him at the moment. Looked better in the 2nd half on the left though, especially when he cut inside rather than trying the cross without beating his man. Herd and Lichaj did well as the fullbacks, Dunne and Clark didn't put a foot wrong. Only disappointments were that Zog didn't impose himself on the game more, when I saw his name on the starting XI (along with Bent) I thought he'd rip his man to bits and create a hatfull of chances for himself and DB. Didn't happen though. Really didn't like the look of Makoun in the first half, but he did better in the second. Oh and loved my seat on the halfway line in the doug upper, 2nd row. What a view! Don't think I can afford to move my ST there though :shock: It's true, he was fantastic. Great cross which led to a goal, and a great run to the box - as someone pointed out earlier it was very Kyle Walker-esque. Want to see him start the next CC game to see if he can do this on a more regular basis
  8. Which was your favourite? Bleu is pretty much the most perfect movie I've ever seen, I think
  9. I watched Predators last night. Painfully average film, 5/10 just for the Predators being coooooool
  10. Sitting in the doug for the first time ever for this. Fancied a change, sitting in the upper right on the halfway line
  11. One of the most punishing musical documents ever commited to record. and it is gloorrrrious
  12. How much could I pick up a Wii for? Xenoblade looks goooooooooood
  13. Review I wanted to like it, but it was just too long. I might have to revisit bits of it again, which could change my mind somewhat, but I couldn't listen to the whole thing all the way through. It's not that I'm unaccustomed to long pieces of music either, Boris' Flood and Sleep's Dopesmoker are 2 of my favourites and clock in around the hour mark. But TWO hours ugh jeez
  14. Beye one get one free? jejeje Is the source of that 'provisional squad' twitter or something? Strikes me as odd that Gardner isn't there. Not in the U19s European squad for the NextGen, not in what will be a weakened team to play a League 2 side...is he injured?
  15. Uncharted 3 will be a day one purchase. BF3 and Skyrim will come some time after that. Then after those probably Batman, which might be enough to tide me over till ME3 in March
  16. Gosh I would love to see Gardner finally get some game time at VP
  17. It's Hereford who have all their senior keepers out isn't it? And their assistant manager had to go in goal in their last game? Made a howler in their game last week, I'm sure it was them They've put on free coaches to fans living in Hereford though, so should be a good turn out from them
  18. Thought it would be 3-0 before the game, so wasn't too far off. Still work to do, and Blackburn were very poor in the first half, but happy with the performance, 3 points, and especially Gabbys goal
  19. yeh I noticed that discrepancy aswell. As Sie says, pretty sure it's going to be 24 - unfortunately, as I'll have it on console too. I plan to buy a new PC next summer though, so will hopefully get the full experience then
  20. Here's a nice hands-on preview from GC, for both the 64 player conquest and 4v4 Team Deathmatch
  21. First time I shaved it I cut my bollock and right on the hinge of my peen Put me off for a long time, had to tackle it the time after with scissors first, I guess a bit like when the grass on a lawn gets so long that the lawnmower just won't have it Now I keep it very short-haired. It is comfy, and as mentioned above makes john look much more respectable...lord knows I need every helping hand I can get...
  22. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VteYF3P_9W0, one of my favourite Coil tracks
  23. Would do JK Rowling tbh watching Who do you think you are
  24. I liked his blog post on the OS today. Turns out he is a right nerd.
