Yeah, you are making a very good point and that probably has a lot to do with it. I also think that there's less of a market for certain genres in that part of the world due to people's different 'musical' preferences. Young girl groups are a good joke and a good example!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqUQwENyQE&feature=related Is that who you are talking about? They sound like stroke victims on cocaine. "oogga gagga gagga blargh blargh blargh ARRGHH!" Ok, I am sure there is some good Japanese pop out there, somewhere.:p

Asians aren't really good at music, they don't have much musical ability, unless we are talking about orchestral music or traditional east asian music using traditional instruments. Japanese pop music has to be the worst type of music in the world.:awesome: Studio Ghibli's Totoro soundtrack is ace though! There's only one person for me and that's Faye Wong: An amazing woman with an amazing voice, but not Japanese.:p This is the only pop music I like.

That's a load of rubbish.

I do like George Orwell, but his books are a bit in your face. 1984 was a brilliant read and he did have Communism summed up pretty well. This guy probably did a lot of good with his literature/brainwashing.:p Darwin is my personal hero. He wasn't just the guy behind evolution, but he challenged what everybody and himself believed in and the monkey man made everybody else look like monkeys. He had an enormous sense of clarity and could see so much that everybody else was blind to.. It's amazing that a guy like him could have existed when he did. I also really like David Attenborough, I have so much to thank him for. He taught me about this world that we live in and he is such a big campaigner for the preservation of this planet. His story is kind of like Darwins.. His career started off with him catching animals to put on display in zoos and through his life, he became enlightened about our planet and the role we ourselves our playing in the destruction of it. When he dies, it will be a really sad day for me and the whole of humanity will be at a loss.

How I envy you! I'm too poor to afford sweets these days. Half my shopping is Sainsburys Basics... If I want a snack, I have to eat a real egg.

He is the Fighting Buddha and Buddhism states that whatever you believe in is real. Life is an illusion. We all have our buddha nature and Wukong lives within every one of us. Sun Wukong has been so influential, for so many people and for so many generations... Surely he has had a greater influence on humanity than any of those football players or mathematicians. As a historical figure, he is more important than any of them, despite never having existed... What a clever monkey! *kowtows to the Great Sage* BTW: I'm only joking... You guys know that somebody is going to say Bjork and I just pre-empted that.:p

Sun Wu Kong ok ok, he isn't exactly a person, but he is more intelligent, witty and cunning than any person that has ever existed.

Haha, it's funny I came across you saying that because I randomly googled "eat nothing but jaffa cakes" into google a week ago and came across a mens health forum topic saying just that. Anyway, I am going to start supplementing my diet with protein. Myprotein's impact whey protein is cheap, so I am going with 5kg of that for £39.99. I'll probably have 60g a day for an extra 50g of protein in my diet. It works out as 50p a day, which isn't bad.. My body apparently needs 76g.

I see, so were you attracted to her because of her looks?

I knew a guy on another forum who was a post whore. He used the term +1 when he just cared about increasing his post count instead of contributing to the threads that he participated in. Maybe she's a nympho.

The Voodoo site is really good. I liked each site's contact page the most and your markup is also very tidy. I don't know as much as you, but I suppose I would put the tabbed content in your About Us page into separate pages and then connect them to the tabs using AJAX, but that's just overcomplicating things. Have you ever done anything with ASP.NET?

I lost faith in the police after a couple of idiots in police uniforms broke into my house and asked me what I was doing here. They got the wrong house and should have gone to an abandoned one 100 houses away... While the male police officer was half way up the stairs, the female officer was at the front of my house having a go at a neighbour for letting their old dog sit outside of their garden on this small patch of grass (I live on a culdesac), which he has sat and rested on for almost every day of his life. It's like she suffered from ADHD. What's funny is that we're pretty sure the police came to our house again a week later at around 1am in the morning trying the same thing. This happened despite us phoning up and making a formal complaint about the previous time. Our 2 german shepherds were at home that night and went crazy. A neighbour came to our door the day afterwards claiming that they saw 2 police officers at the front of our house, quickly running away... They also didn't help me when I was attacked by around 6 people in a park, despite it happening in the town centre. In my experience, they are more trouble than they're worth. If it's ever an unimportant matter like getting attacked in broad daylight by a bunch of psychos who are trying to kill you, they'll just send out one of those useless community support officers anyway. Well in my experience, they wont bother turning up and will just call you 3 hours before they've promised to come to your door, when you're still in bed and then insist on holding until you've woken up and brushed your teeth! Argghhh, I can't stand them!

I'd find it more interesting if you either stuck to a specific genre or tried to cover a broader range of films, instead of all the latest cinema releases because that won't give your site any unique character. If it became more genre specific, you could make more worthwhile comparisons about the film compared to others in that genre and you'd have more time to write about them. If you focused on films as a whole and not just all of the latest American releases, you could look for hidden gems that people might never have heard of and then people would want to revisit your site in order to find something 'new' to watch. People might also enjoy reading a review about a film they watched a long time ago in order to reminisce. Sticking to a specific genre sounds best to me. You could look back at older films, less known films, review new releases and write updates on future releases. If you like horror, then there's a huge amount of films out there and you could also introduce people to the likes of Miike Takashi if you are into that sort of thing. I've never got the thought of a woman giving birth to a fully grown man out of my head since I first watched Gozu...(especially when the man's hand came out of her vagina and grabbed that guy's penis while they were having sex!) I'm just saying that because I had a browse through your site and the Hannah Montana one was out of place!

Xiao Wu and Unknown Pleasures Xiao Wu = 8/10 Unknown Pleasures = 6/10 2 really depressing films from Jia Zhangke... Watching them has actually upset me a lot and I can't stop thinking about them. I'd recommend them, but they are very difficult films to watch... The films have no real endings and leave you in despair and feeling miserable.

Some of those characters look like total nonsense. Korean perhaps?

Where's the cheapest place to get mushrooms? I currently get the loose ones from Sainsburys for around £2.50 a kilo.

I agree about the mushrooms! I used to hate them, but ever since I became a vegetarian, they have become a main part of my diet. I went to one vegan restaurant in Paris called the Lovin' Hut and the mushrooms they served me were fried and tasted exactly like KFC!! gooshhh... They were tasty.. I really want to find out the type of mushroom they used as they tasted more like chicken than chicken. I want to make lasagne, but haven't tried doing so yet. Perhaps I will try next month.:wink:

Here we go: Serves 4 Ingredients 450 g/1 lb mushrooms 15 ml/1 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 15 ml/1 tbsp tomato puree 400 g/14 oz can chopped tomatoes 15 ml/1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano 450 g/1 lb fresh pasta Parmesan cheese, to serve chopped fresh oregano, to garnish Instructions 1) Trim the mushroom stems neatly, then cut each mushroom into quarters. 2) Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. 3) Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4) Stir in the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and the oregano. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes. 5) Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Cook's Top If you prefer to use dried pasta, make this the first thing that you cook. It will take 10-12 minutes, during which time you can make the mushroom mixture. Use 350 g/12 oz dried pasta. 6) Season the bolognese sauce with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta, tip it into a bowl and add the mushroom mixture. Toss to mix. Serve in individual bowls, topped with shavings of fresh Parmesan cheese and a sprinkling of chopped fresh oregano. --------------------- I halved the ingredients and just made a huge single portion! I used dry oregano instead and think it's easier to make this way.. I didn't garnish the finished meal with it and just added half a tablespoon with the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. The oregano is what makes this meal smell and taste really good! As soon as you put it in, the whole thing will smell great. I also used 2 cloves of garlic instead of half a clove, sliced the mushrooms and used a wok instead of a pan.

Here's a few of my vegetarian dishes: Mushroom bolognese: Leek and potato soup: Fried noodles with beansprouts and asparagus: Potato, broccoli and red pepper stir fry: Bubble and squeak with fried eggs:

Does anybody remember Sliders? I really liked watching it on BBC2 when I was a kid and just happened to see it being shown on TV in Paris when I was over there. It's a shame it was in French! I am watching it now after 10 years of absence and its greeatttt! Series 1 & 2 are just £12 on Amazon.

I'll probably get some socks again.

Let's face it, you're not exactly missing much. Waiting for Christmas is bad enough without being teased by tiny bits of chocolate!
