  1. Can't decide whether to go see this on Saturday or wait until the following Saturday. They're only about 3 showings that are sold out and they're all on Friday. I suppose it helps having 3 big Cinemas in close proximity
  2. In honour of it's release and in memory of Emma Watson's hair.

    Ice Hockey

    It's always good when East face West as it only happens normally once in the regular season and obviously the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Pens faced the no2 ranked western conference Vancouver Canucks last night and came out 3-1 winners!

    So your basicaly his bitch?
  5. Is there anything better than trawling through the names that appear when all the players have been found, looking for your next victim to emotionally rape.

    I saw New Jersey Devils vs Chicago Blackhawks live when I was in the USA and it was fucking amazing, The atmosphere was absolutely electric and the tickets start really cheap.

    Yeah, if you've got an iPhone or an iPad, the NHL do an really good app that lets you track all the stats, keep up with news and latest scores, as well as game highlights.
  8. Fopp used to be really awesome for picking up more music from more obscure bands that anyone who actually knew anything about music listened too, unfortunately HMV catered for the many others who didn't. Especially before the days of iTunes and all that jazz. The Fopp up here closed a few years ago though
  9. Does your birthday cake have ginger in it? Happy Birthday Lad!
  10. The best thing to happen to me today is that the Forums now work properly on my new Macbook. Oddly they worked on my old one, but didn't on my new one until now.
  11. I take it that was a rhetorical question? Of course they fucking do
  12. I'll go in and see it but i'm oddly kind of not excited. I suppose because deep down you know all the good shit happens in the second part, and the wait will kill me until July.

    Ice Hockey

    I absolutely fucking love this sport, to the point of obsession. I've always liked it growing up but being the smallest of the major North American sports, it receives very little attention over here. I started getting into it again just before last christmas and have been obsessed since. One thing I love about it is it's such an egoless sport, in comparison to NFL and the NBA which are full of pre madonnas, thinking they can get away with anything and are above everyone else. You only have to listen to a Hockey player talk and it's always about the team and the fans, never about individual pursuits. You also have to look into how gruelling the game is. I mean, footballers complain at playing 38 games. In Ice Hockey every single game is a physical battle and every team plays at least 82 games a season, some will play as much as 110 to go all the way to win the Stanley Cup. By comparison in the NFL, even if a team wins the Superbowl, they'll only have played 20 games. I'm also a big fan of the salary cap scheme which the NHL uses, it's amazing how well it works and also it's levelling of the playing field. I'll quite happily watch any game but I'm a massive Pens fan and try to watch as many games a week as I can but with the late starts it's not always practical. I visited Madison Square Gardens when I was in New York earlier this year and saw all the Rangers facilities, really impressive. I think I spent half my holiday in the official NHL shop this puck now lives on my desk. There is an Elite league over here but it's not really up too much. I really think it's a sport people would enjoy if they gave it a chance. Quite a few people I know who had never watched Ice Hockey before watched the Canada vs USA gold medal match at the Winter Olympics and absolutely loved it. I'm planning a holiday for late next year to go to either the States or Canada, and I really want to catch as many games as possible when i'm there. You also can't forget about the greatest Disney films ever, The Mighty Ducks Trilogy. I've got the trilogy on DVD and never get bored of watching them.
  14. You really need to listen to the album (Save Me, San Francisco), there are far better songs on it than Hey, Soul Sister, and that is amazing in it's own right. For Me. The Script - Nothing 30 Seconds to Mars - Closer to The Edge Bon Jovi - Superman Tonight Train - Save Me, San Fransisco
  15. Can the Championship deciding races in future years not take place on shit tracks please.
  16. Have a good one William.
  17. *Deep Breath* Torn Cruciate Ligaments Dislocated right and left kneecaps Torn meniscus in right knee Broken nose 7 Broken Fingers Broken right arm Dislocated Right should 3 times Broke both heels Torn Achillies Tendon in left foot Broken right wrist. Had a couple of nasty concussions. Several of them were done at the same time, so it's not really as bad it looks
  18. 4 x Tickets to see Bon Jovi at Murrayfield next year.
  19. We have to help them! We never did. Happy birthday dear boy.
  20. Yeah but Sydney from Alias (Jennifer Garner) was about as useful at spywork when preggers as Stevie Wonder would be at directing Traffic. She spent about 7 episodes just talking over the radio to some other dude.
  21. I'd change it to Dr. Cox.

    Stolen

    I almost got into a fight a few months back with a berk who stole my drink. I couldn't have cared less about it but he then made out the drink was actually his and I was trying to steal it. He eventually realised he was being a twat when he said his drink was a Vodka/Redbull and finally noticed the drink was contained in a bottle with a Millers logo plastered all over it.
  23. Unfortunately Youtube doesn't have the proper version for FNL, it's the right music but just some fan made credits instead of the actual ones. There are quite a few more I could have put on but those are probably my favourites. It's a dying art nowadays, i'm sick of these stupid title cards most shows are using nowadays. I would much rather lose a minute of storyline to see an actual opening theme
