Outnumbered Great. Only started watching because an episode I saw on a plane was moderately amusing. Karen is ridiculously cute, High Dennis brilliantly sarcastic. Can't find the third series anywhere online which is upsetting.. 8 The Wire Season 4 It's morning in West Baltimore. Wake up and smell the coffee / cyanide / paper trails / dropped bodies Continually gripping, stunning development, thoroughly engaging and all of that shit. Even with lack of Jimmy / String. Just staggeringly written. Last episode made me physically angry. And the over of Way Down in the Hole is easily my favorite of the lot. Marginally prefer the third season, but it was brilliantly rounded and exemplified how the Wire gets better and better as time goes on. 10, obviously Gutted that I only have a season left to be watching... and from what I hear it's the least-stunning season of the lot. -
You've given me the Zuton fever once again... their first album is great!! In other news, I scribbled a little comic earlier. It's based on real life and all!

-I have recurring chest pains that started last year and vary from irriating to painful -I have a weird tired / stoned feeling that comes over me at random points and stops me from doing very much / being particularly alert -I have very weird joints which seem to pop out easily. Not much of a problem though. - Seem to sweat alot, which is gross and not very nice when you wake up in night sweats.. - Constant hayfever in the summer, not helped along by the abundance of flowers in our garden. Last few weeks i've spent balsam in buisness. - Constant cold in winter - Used to have asthma, though no bad memorys of so Aside from all that though, I seem unable to put on weight, am relatively healthy and look alright, so I guess it's not all bad!

This. Also bring back Steve Merchant on a Sunday. Loved his show -
Much love for this thread! Ahh memories.. These, I agree. Plus, the PC combo of Rollercoaster Tycoon, Age of Empires, and Worms was unbeatable!! I think the best gaming experiences I've had have been in local multiplayer, usually co-op. Playing Conflict Desert Storm 2 with three friends till the wee hours when I was was such such good fun. Finally finished Dynasty Warriors 4 coop with a friend at uni, which was relentlessly run, if stunningly repetitive. I just love good multiplayer really. Conker's Bad Fur Day - The mode where you run up the beach and try to make it to the base without being shot down was just glorious. As were the standard capture the flag / deathmatch fare. Pro Evo's - Any Pro Evo game where you're playing an evenly matched friend are unbeatable entertainment. Timesplitters - Huge knockout matches on Siberia.. tense as for the last few lives!! Pisses me off that company's don't make good local multiplayer anymore, especially not for 4 players. Other standout moments include beating Golden Sun and OOT, both seemed like massive games. And, as many have said, Shadow of the Colossus is utterly breathtaking and wow. I practically fucking cried about Agro. Shame some of the game was frustrating as fuck but nonetheless.

And a bloody good track it is and all. If i recall they similarly nicked it for Kick Ass, which worked rather nicely. Anyhoo, that film looks pretty great, though perhaps a poor man's Inception...

NEW THEME!!! Terrible photos
-
Yeah very good, thought it would be nice to get opinions from real people rather than travel agents and wikipedia though, if that's alright with ya

Question: French cities that aren't Paris - can anyone recommend any? For a little weekend away with the girlf. I've been to Paris too many times (well, Twice, but still)
-
Ah yeas I have played this, or at least have IRL. Count me in!
-
Conversely to most, I've seen every lost but never played Mafia. Might be up for it. Someone explain the basic premise? Internet fail I know..
-
Eya, been on holiday so just got your message - french learning is going well! Sadly I can't really recommend anything though as all I'm doing is getting friends to teach me (girlfriend did A level, two other friends do it at uni) so yeah. Might buy a book to help me teach myself soon though, I'll let ya know if I find anything good. Youtube is vaguely good for basic lessons also x

That GMT? 10char -
Apparently /\ /\ Y /\ leaked. I can't find it. Nonethless, the cover art is enjoyed

Yeah prob won't keep it up to be honest! I usually do 50 lengths per swim, so 3 times a week, sorted! Though yesterday I was done after about 30..
-
I enjoy the ambition on this thread! Things what I plan to do - Learn French! - Swim, try and get 150 lengths in a week - Finish The Wire - Buy cheap car - Go on Top Gear esque road trip with said car and friends - Write some stuff, short stories, enter random short graphic novel competition I found - Appreciate where I live, it's nice.
-
That was good. Though on a shallow note, I thought Kelis was hot! Guess that was about 10 years ago but still. And yeah have a while ago. I need to give it another listen, but I recall it being far too similar to LP3 for me. Though there's a few vocal samples around this time right? In other news, late-to-the-party but What an album
-
Me and a bunch of my guy friends tried this for lent a few years back. Bunch of 15 year old trying not to whack one out for forty days. I think the winner went about 10 days, and even that was probably a lie.

That was just utterly bizarre. To be fair to him, Cordan did alright considering what seemed to be a fairly un-provoked attack, regarding a pretty shitty does-anyone-actually-care award ceremony... he's still a massive idiot though, and Gavin and Stacey is the most overrated tripe to be on TV for years.
-
I think I shall give in and get hop on the breaking bandwagon once I finish The Wire. Just finished season 3. And I thought the second season was good. Staggering.

Read this on twitter, couldn't believe it. Good on him indeed!! Hope this doesn't detract from his general grumpiness in his columns...

Reading this year is turning out to be pretty fucking wicked. LCD, Miike Snow, Phoenix, Big Pink, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Yeasayer, Biffy Cyro, Health, Four Tet, Streetlight Manifesto, Band of Horses, Crystal Castles... win. Also going to Green Man - Flaming Lips, Beirut, Joanna Newsom, Darwin Deez, Fuck Buttons, Wild Beasts, Girls, should be good Want to go to End of the Road fest too - Modest Mouse, Yo la Tengo, Wilco, Iron & Wine, New Pornographers, Caribou, Antlers but noone will come with!
-
Dunno why everyone's linking it to 500DoS considering it was utterly everywhere you looked last summer. Anyway I'm going for Temper Trap 'cos I lurve it. AM sounds like, too epic for it's own good. Hate me.
