He probably thought "Hexagon" means curing a magical curse. That is a very good way to remove a curse . . . polygonically speaking of course. Polygon? Isn't that parrot repellent?

I thought this was going to be 50cent or DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince singing about Paragliding . . . I was soaring with my homies Heading over the pass When a rival crew of pilots Bust a cap in my ass...

Duchess of York Caught 'Selling Access' to Prince Andrew
MikeJD replied to ZigZagMarquis's topic in The Bonfire
Is that illegal in the UK? I thought I read that once upon a time, prostitution was illegal in the UK because to pass a law making it illegal they'd have to admit to the queen what hookers were / did and they didn't want to offend her "delicate" sensibilities? I'm pretty sure Queenie watches enough television to know what hookers are. -
Nor are people! You said it about the rabies. Although I don't think we really have any over here.

HOLY CRAP - An entire EARTH in your garden? CRAP-The Earth is only 20 feet long? How come I can't see Texas from here? Funny guys. That's what I get for trying to use the correct terminology around here. OK, I don't have an earth in my back garden. I have a place where foxes live, in their little foxy houses.

God, I hope there's no way that thing could be accidentally deployed in flight. I think it might affect the trim, just a little bit.

Won't be so cool when your shed disappears into the ground. Those critters do like to dig

Aww, bless.... Now I feel old. Or old school, anyway.

Shouldn't do you any harm if all they have is a phone number, but next time they call I would definitely try to find out what address they have for the defaulter - i.e. make sure it isn't yours (but under no circumstances tell them what yours is!) If they do also have your address, then you could end up with a completely screwed credit rating, or worse, through no fault of your own. In that case it's better to resolve the issue fully rather than just trying to stop the phone calls.

Se7en. One of my favourites. And from the same year (a good year for movies!): "You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught, and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything it'll be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again."

Man, this is getting complicated. Maybe you should hook up with Skittles, to get to the girl, to get to Shane B, to get to his brother.

I thought they caused earthquakes.

We rarely say "I have" over here. To me it sounds, well, American.

I doubt you're missing much. I have to switch channels when this appears. The only thing worth watching was that girl dancing with her dog a while ago. But that was genius.
-
Oh, in that case I have seen the 'definitive' version. Yeah, pretty bleak ending - and all the better for it.

The thing that struck me about that was how undamaged the back of the car looks. It's almost like a publicity stunt for Mercedes.

Wow, I didn't even know there were alternate cuts of some of thos movies. I think Brazil is fantastic - I'd like to see the director's cut. Aliens was, I thought, hugely improved by the addition of the extra footage. Made the whole Ripley/ Newt relationship more meaningful. But I think Blade Runner (director's cut/ final cut) is for me the most improved film ever. It added to the Deckard-as-replicant theme, and got rid of the awful voiceover and the tagged on happy ending. The result is genius.

We actually quite like it when our politicians drop their guard. It humanises them. Witness the similar John Major gaffe from the early 90s when he was overheard calling cabinet colleagues 'bastards' and saying he would crucify them. That instantly turned his image from this notoriously grey, limp character to someone who actually had a bit of passion. At the end of the day, politicians are human beings and things like this are just little chinks in the armour of spin. I doubt Brown is much more outspoken than Clegg or Cameron in private - he just happens to have been caught out. It should remind us that it's all about image management, regardless of the party.

That combination reminds me of this. I hope that link is what I think it is. A friend sent it to me, and I can't open it from work.

They should be campaigning for Keifer Sutherland instead, just to make a better rhyme: "Back Jack".

Not to defend bullfighting, but many people feel the same way about those who hurt themselves jumping out of aeroplanes.

Yes, Weston has plenty of gliding going on (and the occasional C-130 that comes in and drops squaddies from a few hundred feet up!) Generally speaking, busy airfields are well controlled and well practised in keeping the skydivers (or 'meat missiles') away from the aircraft, and vice versa. It's often traffic from elsewhere that presents the real danger - if your dropzone has a major road or rail line running nearby, there's a good chance some light aircraft pilots will be using it as a handy navigation route.

Why oh why oh why? As for "Back the Shat" - that doesn't even rhyme.

I'm with you on that. Much of the extra footage 'reinstated' for the Redux version spoiled the whole tone for me. All that jokey stuff with the theft of Kilgore's surfboard felt like it had been dropped in from a very different movie! Regarding Avatar, I haven't seen it yet. But it was selling for just £9 in UK supermarkets on regular old DVD - not the typical price for an 'event' release. I didn't see a Blu-Ray option, else I'd probably have bought it.
