Illuminati-R-Us

The cynical among us believe they have wanted to shut it down for a while as a cost cutting excercise and have one of the dailies start a sunday edition.

Oops, missed this post sorry. I got into cricket abit, watching entire test days, lazily lying on a couch with a beer. The first thing I ever watched in cricket, was the 22nd test cricket hat trick, by Dominic Cork - it started the moment I turned on the television. A much under-rated hobby watching...

There is no joy in being a starving artist. :D [lawyer mode] If you go ahead with this: Are you covered by his/her insurance if you make a mistake? What training will you receive? What are your job prospects at the end of it? Why is someone teaching you for nothing? How are they benefitting now? [/l...

Simply looking at the economics of it: 1. This will cost you money, not just the petrol money but the money you could be making while you are training. 2. Will the current fad for tattoos continue? I have no idea, but if it doesn't you will have spent time and money learning a skill which has a limi...

For those playing along at home a comparison of the two actors who have played Kono.

I didn't think you did, but they are supposed to be cousins. And the characters were both male in the original.

Ah, you and your Asian ladies. :D

I had forgotten they had a Korean-Canadian playing the wahine.

Hmmm, and the other bloke is Korean as well, I had assumed they were supposed to be native to the island.

Blimey, McGarrett is a digger as well. Thank FSM for the Caan boy.

I catch odd episodes of this, the new one. Are they really just making up the plot as they go along?

There are so many elements in the series that none get much in the way of depth. And could they really not find an Englishwoman to play the Englishwoman?

Taken in the same spirit as my remark about fruit was intanded. :D

Aye, like anyone north of Perth has ever seen a carrot. You'll be claiming there are Gaelic words for fruit next. :D

I have no problem with the dog but the other two don't fill me with confidence. The story writes itself and the film should end up as a shot for shot remake; if the attack scenes are good enough for George Lucas to copy . . .

Lianachan wrote: "The Dambusters".

There is a remake in the works, Stephen Fry is writing it, Peter Jackson directing. And the dog is called "Digger" . . .

Even down to the red armband . . .

There is a failed drugs test at the Women's WC, the one similarity with the men's game is that it will be written off as an unfortunate mis-understanding and a three month ban will follow rather than the "compulsory" two years. Then it will never be mentioned again.

"Keen to stress she is not seeking publicity, Mrs Hargreaves does firmly believe what she saw was the Loch Ness Monster."

They must be the only three people in the UK not to have mobiles with cameras in them.

And usually played without the diving and theatrics of the men's game.

Slightly unfair, but there are elements of that and the keeping is generally woeful.

Ah, this is the dateline thing isn't it? I should have remembered.

They have a huge problem with obesity there so you will be able to outrun them, whichever it is. :D

There is plenty of football, just very little of it involves adult males. :D

For amusement try to find the goal the Canadian goalie scored against Eng-ger-lund at the U17 WC.

Germany 2-1 Canada at the Womens' World Cup. I didn't see the game but watched most of the France - Nigeria game.

We'll draw a veil over the USA - Mexico game in the Gold Cup.

I would say there are no circumstances in which torture is acceptable, it is one of the ways we know who the good guys are.

Ok, new quote:

"Fucking firefighters are bunch of homos"

Quote changed to a topical one.

"Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!"

A fine film. :D

Correct Sir!
