George Lucas directed the 1970s film.

Large predator kills prey.

I have no problem with zoos provided they are modern and help protect endangered species. I have some problems with animals doing tricks for human amusement. Anyone working with animals knows the risks, this was not the Orca's fault.

The ending of a 1970s film you have all seen was heavily based on this film. This scene is repeated almost word for word in the 1970s film.

Neuner is too good, we always preferred Simone Denkinger. Or Kati Wilhelm in her "ski fast, shoot wildly" phase.

Ok Hefti was out with concussion but Lange was imperious winning his fourth 2man,

Shaun White, wow.

I wasn't sure if Enzo was first. Have this one anyway.

One: How many guns do you think there are?
Two: I'd say there are about ten guns - some in the field, and some in the tower.

One characters name has been removed.

From the UK you used to have a right of appeal, but if it was denied you were automatically banned for (I think) 3 years.

Jimmy Stewart.

Not Bush, a pilot like Bush this actor actually flew in combat.

w00t! Winter Olympics start today. GB for anything we're in. Norway for anything we're not. But: Beat Hefti in the bobsleigh, mainly because of his name. German women biathletes, lingering affection from the Ushi Disl days. Finnish ski jumpers and Nordic combine-ders, so dour they make Scots look ch...

In rugby you don't get collisions like a WR going over the middle and meeting a safety coming the other way. It is hard to know whether padding is to protect from collisions or what causes them in the first place. My suspicion always was that people threw themselves into things because they were wea...

Just before Christmas, a US Court ruled on a related case involving a different detainee, in which the judge provided pages of detailed information on how Mr Mohamed had been abused. Can anyone make sense out of this? The case involves a "different detainee", but the release of informatio...

BBC report. The short version is that the CIA tortured a UK resident in Pakistan and told MI5 what they had done. As expected the info obtained was completely useless. The tortured man took the UK government to court in the UK, the UK government tried to suppress it, the US government tried to supp...

They would have to convince FIFA that they were a nation state, however small. San Marino, Andorra and Monaco all have teams, despite not being real countries. Their best bet would be to try and get into the Commonwealth, which would give them entry to the Commonwealth Games. There are some anomalie...

I think they play in a variety of cities rather than in one.

They will have my unquestioning support for one game at the World Cup this summer.

Fair enough if you have paid for the cover, why not use it. There was a period about 10-15 years ago when spares here were the small 60mph for 50 miles only type. We have made sure all our cars have a fullsized wheel after a hilarious (if pretentious sounding) incident in Parma one friday evening wi...

Don't forget you are the defending Olympic Champions at rugby. :D

Nederlands beat Canada. I think Canada want a rematch at hockey . . .

Scotland lost to the USA at cricket..

With Afghanistan and Ireland next we may not get a win in the tournament. :(

Canada play Nederlands later today in the other group.

I'm not trying to sound unsympathetic but is changing a wheel not something anyone should be able to do?

League has 13 players, the play is stopped briefly after the tackle and a team has six tackles of possesision; Union has 15 players and play only stops when the ball goes out of play or for infringements. In both the ball can only be passed backwards. I grew up playing Union, have never played Leagu...

Move along, nothing to see here . . . :D

A (one) manager vs. scores of training specialists These days teams have a variety of coaches, probably 5-6 at least. low vs. high tech Top rugby teams are just as high tech. Where is the real difference? Maybe someone who is knowledgeable in both sports can explain? The forward pass in american fo...

It begins (again) . . . Euro qualifiers Spain, Czech, Scotland, Lithuania, Leichtenstein* Germany, Turkey, Austria, Belgium, Kazakstan, Azerbijian Nederland, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Moldova, San Marino. It could have been worse for us, we always get a Baltic State and we have avoided the worst of ...

No idea where the bestiality claim comes from.
