  1. Doom and gloom in the valleys as 2 of our key individuals are crocked for the tournament during the last warm up game. The only positive is that it allows us to retain our transitional underdog mentality, but I do not expect the tournament to be quite what we were hoping for now. The best scrum half in the 6 nations out, and while there's an argument for saying that Dan Biggar can cover for the place kicking and Liam Williams is a more incisive attacking full back, he would have been better replacing the dreadful Cuthbert on the wing, and overall the strength in depth of our limited resources
  2. The thread where I try to spread the gospel but get ignored. But I must fight the good fight. Just going to park it for now. BTW I believe that Australia are playing the USA in a warm up game next weekend in Chicago. So, just to get the juices flowing, here's a taste of what's at stake in the Group of Death featuring Wales, England and Australia (not to mention Fiji who might cause an upset in a match or two):- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM4mIlYKG9s And if you ever wondered why the All Blacks are such a rugby machine, they start them young with the right attitude:- https://www.y
  3. Agreed. BBN (Battle of New Orleans version) is the first time I've actually enjoyed it. Especially at the Roundhouse once it was just an overly loud repetitive awful mess but in this stripped down version the lyrics thrust through powerfully.
  4. I wonder how much of Star Wars was actually the second TWEEDY album that had been described as already being in the can. Taste The Ceiling certainly seems like a good bet. I'm hoping for further confounding of the established marketing strategies by having a seond Wilco album appear before Christmas
  5. Sorry it spoilt your show, but the whole surreal "Where's our spoon" thing made my laugh for some reason.
  6. I get the same feeling from a single performance of Walken.
  7. That was the first thing that came into my mind when I read the full report. How do you do it? I did see that film when I was a kid in a cinema - though until now I had no idea Kurt Russel was in it.
  8. Just started wondering if Magnetized is the first Wilco song title that is spelt wrongly - unless they're doing a Slade.

  10. So Keith is slagging off Sgt Pepper. Has he never listed to Their Satanic Majesties Request?
  11. Indeed. A nice bit of Test Match Special through the earphones at work. I prefer listening to cricket with the TMS team to actually watching it. 18.3 overs is the quickest any team have ever been bowled out in the first innings of a test match. I do have a soft spot for their old school 'baggy green' though. In other news, there's a tasty group in the upcoming rugby world cup containing England, Australia, and Wales. Only two go through.
  12. The year 's at the spring, And day 's at the morn; Morning 's at seven; The hill-side 's dew-pearl'd; The lark 's on the wing; The snail 's on the thorn; God 's in His heaven— All 's right with the world! EDIT: Their Aussie roaddie is going to wake up sick as a dog. Australia 50 for 9 at Trent Bridge! Now 60 all out. Crazy morning.
  13. Nice apprenticeship entry by Dvigs24, but I'm looking forward to the return of the R. R. Martin of showtime reviewers, though possibly with less tits* and mutilation. * Unless Josh makes an appearance
  14. Far From The Madding Crowd The 1967 version, was suprised to hear only yesterday that there is a new version. Watched as there was a synchronicity between it appearing on iPlayer and recent visits to some of the locations - not that I knew that at the time except for Maiden Castle. Only a dim memory of once having seen it decades ago, and some JC high cheek bone action is always welcome.
  15. Cordon - Belgium plague outbreak thriller. Half way through and ratcheting up the tension nicely without going all zombie apocalypse immediately. Humans - nicely done sci fi set in a hear future (i.e. saving on production costs) where 'synths' have been introduced. Just ended, but apparently there is to be a second series - which in 90% of cases means an extending and petering out of the main storyline beyond what would have been the correct timely ending of the original idea.
  16. I think it's this:- Although my immediate thought was of Tim Roth in Mike Leigh's Meantime (after his drastic haircut) - see the 1 minute mark in this trailer - which has the most inappropriate 'Hollywood' voiceover you could possibly imagine. Aah the eighties in the UK ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llcgzs1jNOM
  17. Only discovered this lovely demo version today when searching on hearing the news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVMel5gS84Y I love classic 60s pop, and so have always had Cilla's big hits in my head every since hearing them as a kid. She was a great likeable TV host in the 80s and 90s too once the singing career was more or less over with typical Scouse warmth and humour. http://youtu.be/ypSjcEvqmjM
  18. Ditto. The only downside was that the video was so good I was distracted from actually listening to the music. Will do it again with my eyes closed.
