Well I started this thread with Bellowhead at The Brook, and I have just got back from the same venue having seen the brilliant Oysterband at their best! They had the crowd in the palm of their hands. Terrific night all round.

Interesting that the swear filter responded to the "-****" of "u****"! Well I think that you get the idea!!

Watched "Martyrs" last night. It`s a film of the so-called "torture-porn" genre and a bit of a gruelling watch with a denoument that will split viewers into those that think that it`s pretentious clap-trap and those who will hail it as genious. The following from an Empire review sums it up I thought:- Nearly banned in France, u**** over here, Pascal Laugier’s film arrives with a dare-you-see-it? reputation — and it’s a work of rare, raw, brutal brilliance. Martyr’s macabre universe of child abuse, bloody reprisal and death cults is actually three movies in one — grisly revenge picture, visceral ghost story and extreme torture horror; an unflinching intensity, strong performances and a distressing twist cage it all together. Be warned: the final third is a harrowing test of stamina. Stick it out, and the provocative pay-off blends terror with the transcendent. Laugier’s remaking Hellraiser next: be very afraid...

Yeah, me too! Bloody populist crap! Anyway, I think that he just made all those names up.

Whereas?????:confused:

This is actually on the free Shirley Bassey CD given away in the Mail on Sunday last weekend.

No there`s not - and don`t call me Shirley!

Sh1t stirrer!!!!

I haven`t seen this. Is it a Television X version of the David Dickinson one??

After it was bombed by the Japanese presumably??

Last night was the second time I have seen Milton Jones. I saw him about 12-18 months ago at the same venue. Extremely funny both times and virtually no repeat material. Really highly recommended.

I must admit I quite fancy seeing Tim Vine. I saw Stewart Francis a few weeks ago. Apart from the very occaissional swearword he was very funny. Almost a Canadian Milton Jones!

He was very good dealing with a good natured heckler last night. " Don`t worry folks, I`ve got this!"

So have Stuart Grey, Steve Wigley, Paul Ince and numerous other "Prem" failures, plus Grants experience was with Chelsea. You would have to be really bad to fail with them. This will be a real test for his managerial skills!

I was very pleased to get the Idle Race CD and also a retrospective of Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. Before they went all "Pop" with "Kites" etc they were a really good R & B type band. I saw them a couple of times at The "old" Concorde Club at The Bassett. Their first album "Without Reservations" (1969) was excellent. This double cd (Part of My Past)includes both the stereo and mono mixes of that album plus loads of other stuff. Those were the days!!

Saw Milton Jones at The Ashcroft Arts Centre last night. Very, very funny. No smutty stuff and not one swear word. It can be done!! http://www.miltonjones.com/

1911 Photos of Niagara Falls ... Amazing pictures !!! Almost 100 years old. A woman's mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbours woke up in the night feeling something was wrong. It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise. They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls. Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ???

Maybe he isn`t home from the Q & A. He must have been there putting his important question to MLT. Wasn`t he???

I recently managed to buy "Birthday Party" by "Idle Race" - Jeff Lynnes first band. I had it on vinyl back in the early 70`s and it`s brilliant!

Totally agree. This was a quality production and well worth at least one more series.

As opposed to Nigel Pearson I suppose.

I am very pleased to know that as a middle class person of mature years, who has been supporting Saints for over 50 years (ST holder for 35 years) and who doesn`t actually sing much, is not a football person.
