It depends on where you stand with that. I don't believe that two wrongs make a right. (as in, somebody is being rude to you, so you should be rude back. It just...doesn't seem a healthy way of thinking, imo) And, the person did put the cigarette out. So, they couldn't have been that horrible or selfish. You might have had the same result had you asked them politely.

I agree with this. Sure, the person is a smoker, but that doesn't automatically make them an arsehole, or shit. Asking them politely first would probably have been enough. If the person refused, then surely somebody else from the crowd of disgusted onlookers would have backed you up. Or you could have asked someone else for their opinion on it, too.

Ine has been telling me to watch Grave of the Fireflies, so we watched it quite recently. I loved it. It's amazing how alive that the characters felt, despite you knowing that its a film, an animation. Great storytelling.

Yeah, but then...3 years is different to not having an oven ever! I am actually genuinally worried for Pancake. Get the lady an oven! We'll hide it in her room somewhere.

So, what are the general food dishes in the house of Pancake? I would die without an oven. No homemade potato wedges. Or Lasagna. Or roast chicken.

I know you said that. But, you then said: To which I said that you have to get past them if you are going into a place. So, yes, they should be criticised for that. They are forcing you to be near them because unless the pub or shop has two entrances or whatever, you have to go through them to get in. And then I mentioned smoking gardens, which would pretty much solve the problem, no? Rather than standing at the entrance of the pub, you just go into the smoking problem. Also, it's sociable as you can meet other people there, fellow smokers, maybe non-smokers who are with their smoking friends. Then, you also wouldn't be in the doorway. Problem solved.

If they are standing at the entrance to a pub or a shop and you want to go in, then you have to go past them to get into that place. So, they kinda are forcing you to be near them, in that respect. Basically, smoking gardens are the way. I like them.

Smoking is such an odd thing. I still find it confusing as to how people manage to get addicted to it. But then, it did nothing for me when I tried it. I have a few friends who are absolutely reliant on them. One of my good Brighton friends was crying outside a pub when the smoking ban came in, because she couldn't go inside and smoke. How do people get to that point? Apart from that, it doesn't bother me if somebody does smoke. It's their decision and choice. However, it does annoy me when people blow it directly into my face. As in, you're standing at a rock gig, and somebody next to you is somebody and the smoke constantly finds its way into your face. Sometimes the wind has a factor to play in this, but yeah, the smell isn't great. Especially if the smoke gets into your eyes. Saying that, I used to stand outside with my mates whenever they used to go out for a cigarette, so we could carry on talking. It was never usually a problem.

I haven't bought this game, but I was planning to beforehand. However, all I'm hearing "Not as good as Metroid Prime" "Metroid Prime did this better" "I prefer the Prime games to this." It's really making me question whether or not I need this. If somebody does go into this game without comparing it to Prime, will they come out enjoying it? Just a simple yes or no will do. I don't care if Prime does anything better. It's not a Prime game. So, I know I won't be comparing it.

You know what I mean though, right? I can't describe it. I'm sure there's some technical term for it, but every time that I touch the boxset, I think of ribbed condoms.

Conceding 2 goals right at the end is absolutely unforgivable. Horrible. Up until that point, I was surprised with how things were going. I was expecting the team to get over-run in midfield and Berba to get no service. I was wrong. The attacking end of our team were great today. But, defensively, we need sorting out. Jonny Evans was very poor again. Just can't believe it. Really in the mood for an argument now.

Team to play Everton Van Der Sar Neville - Evans - Vidic - Evra O'Shea - Fletcher - Scholes Nani - Berbatov - Giggs ... So, Berba up front on his own...no Rooney, Hernandez or Valencia on the bench. Giggs, Scholes AND Neville all in the same team. O'Shea in midfield!

The sexuality thread was a decent thread, I thought. It probably did stem away from its original purpose though, but then a lot of good threads do. It did become a relationships thread or problems thread in the end, but it was also quite inclusive and I don't think many people were too afraid to post in it for fear of ridicule. So, maybe change the name, or keep the name or something. I dunno. There will probably be a thread similar to it in the future anyway.

That's a good shout. I have Gremlins on DVD with a cover like this: which looks a lot nicer to me. If its not that, its something similar to it. The one that springs to mind is also my favourite ever boxset. The Alien Quadrilogy. In terms of content, it's brilliant for the fans. But, however, they really fucked up with the actual boxset cover. Does not give you the "vibe" or feel of the series at all. Looks horrible. Compare that with the cover for the original dvd: Look at that font. So much better, so cleaner, it's the font that's actually used in the title screen for the film. And that image itself is clean and just fits in with the actual film a lot better. The boxset also has this wierd...texture to it. Where certain parts of the cover are above the surface, to give a "ribbed/dotted condom feel", which I don't know why they ever intended to do that. The interface for the DVD menus is so beautiful, though.

He can take it, I reckon. Plus, if the focus is all on him, it might take the attention away from some of the other players and allow them to do something special. It's going to be a good game, I think. I can feel it. Just really not sure about the scoreline. I had the same sort of feeling before the Fulham away game.

I would actually be angry if the team didn't pick up any cards. A little aggression in the game or the fire in your belly (as you said) goes a long way. It reminds me of the United team of 94. They were a great team who could out-muscle or play anybody off the park. They had it all. He has been sent off for "silly things" but they are such rare occurances. In fact, I think his whole bad temper...thing that gets mentioned a fair bit is not entirely accurate. He's the type of player who will lose the ball at one end, chase back to the halfway line and make an attempt to get the ball back, maybe a card in the process. Yeah, some dissent over the years, but then every single team in that league has players guilty of that. All of them. Anyway, tomorrow is Everton away. As long as it's not the same scoreline as last year. That was a battering.

Haaha, Butterduck! Psyduck with anything is amazing. Clefduck! Oddduck! Ekduck!

Sunshine "Kaneda...what do you see?" I love everything about this scene. Kaneda's sacrifice for the mission, to ensure it stays on course. Searle asking him "What do you see?", it's quite sadistic...the man's about the die. But, that's what makes the scene so great. Especially as you can visibly see the "burns" and "scars" on Searle's face and skin due to constant exposure in the observation deck. The Terminator "Come with me if you want to live." This whole scene (which starts when Arnie enters the nightclub) is my favourite ever scene from any film. It's brilliant, the way that there is minimal dialogue, until that line is uttered. It's delivered with such purpose and power...so awesome. It's closely followed by: "Listen, and understand. That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear...and it absolutely will not stop. EVER. Until you are DEAD." Cameron was really onto something with this film. I don't think he's made a better film since. Blade Runner I've been watching this film a few more times in the last few months. Watched it the night before last: "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. I've...seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire, off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tenhauser gate. All those...moments will be lost...in time. Like Tears..in Rain. Time to die." It's quite a powerful scene that seems to get more powerful the more you see it. Here's a man (well, not really), a slave who has been created for fighting. A soldier, a killing machine. Yet, there is a strong sense of nobility in his death, where he recites his own Death Sollioquy/Speech/Poem, after saving the life of the man who has been ordered to hunt him down and kill him. You do wonder about the sorts of things that the character did see throughout his lifespan. In a way, it reminds me of the final scene from the very first Rambo film, where Sylvester Stallone's character finally shows his emotional fragility. He recounts the things that he has seen at war. I believe that both of these scenes (in Blade Runner and in Rambo) both change the complexion of the film in a way you didn't really expect up to that point. Rambo: First Blood I cry every single time I come to that point in the film. Especially the last line: "Sometimes I wake up and I don't know where I am. And I don't talk to anybody. Sometimes a day. Sometimes a week. Can't put it out of my mind." I read somewhere, a while back, that something like a third of war veterans in the United States are homeless. This film does a great job of showing the horrors of coping with war once you try to return home, to normality. And it shows how hard some people find it trying to cope with the aftermath of fighting in a war. What gets me is that a lot of people seem to regard Rambo as some sort of brainless shooter-fest when it really isn't. Especially not the first film.

Hahahaha, I grew up with these films. The end bit always makes me laugh for some reason. "cmaaan, lets go shake their handss!" Ducks Fly Together! QUACK! QUACK! Dyson, all I see are dog masks now. It can't be unseen.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Having a cat for so long, since you were 8, is very special. I don't think a great number of people experience that, so treasure those good memories that you have.

Sheet, Monica Belucci. I do like The Famke, but Natalya was a babe in Goldeneye. Plus, the accent...dear god. Get the tissues, please. I'm starting to warm up to this game, ever so slightly. It looks quite fun. I still don't know if I can forgive certain elements though, such as the replacing of Brosnan, etc.

I'm at that annoying stage where you start a new job and have to work for a whole month before you get paid. Meaning, I've got a lot of outgoings on food, car stuff, buying crap that I need (like actual stuff that I need...like a clothes horse thing to put my wet clothes on after washings) and no money coming in for what seems like ages. It's megalose. Pay day can't come soon enough.

Wohoo, well done for sexing your female and getting a baby out of it! Yeeeah! What are you going to call her? Arnolda sounds vaguely feminine.
