Finally saw it today in 3D high frame rate. After 15 minutes I was not sure at all either with the strange look of HFR or the film itself. However it grew on me and the 3 hours flew by. Some of the scenery was stunning, the ending left me yearning for more. Good to see some of the old characters and Martin Freeman as Bilbo was excellent.

Agreed. The other day I was driving behind a car going very slowly, I muttered to myself "FFS they're driving like an old woman". When I finally go to overtake her I looked across and do you know what? she was indeed an old woman! Spooky.

LOTR trilogy. Think I'll watch them all over again as well as going to see The Hobbit. Remember when you were a kid and you got the Xmas edition of the Radio Times and looked for all the big films coming up, doesn't seem the same nowadays.

name?

I wonder how many more 'football related' convictions Turkish should be coughing up to?

I actually don't have a problem with many (not all) speed limits and cameras, there's no doubt in my mind that they have helped reduce the number of accidents. The OP is just questioning whether he can 'get away' without a fine due the error that has been made in the penalty notice. I think most of us would do the same. If it had been issued correctly he would probably have accepted it without question. Some people can speed simply through a lack of concentration rather than as a deliberate act.

My God there are some self-righteous tw*ts on here. Turkish, you surprise me.

Yes indeed Pap, you are proving to be a master debater.

I just can't believe someone would name their child Buzz!

You've done the research, you tell us. I can't help feeling that most conspiracy theories are just wishful thinking, a bit like the existence of God and UFO's.

Has someone jizzzed on her belly button?

It was embarrassing.

I hate it when people use this, but OMG!

I think you can make some considerable savings that will negate your 'loss' of child benefit. This is a good example of why someone in your position (and the same goes for me) should not be getting child benefit.

Is David Brent on next?

IMO they haven't gone far enough, they are barely scratching the surface. Read this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/9722044/Autumn-statement-Why-George-Osbornes-Budget-wont-be-a-game-changer.html I feel sorry for some of you guys just starting out with a family. I thank feck that we've been lucky enough to have CB for 13 years *****axed) and we'll have paid off our mortgage this time next year.

Its worth pointing out that any benefits in kind such as company car, health insurance etc. can affect your position wrt child benefit. This was not made at all clear in the HMRC letter I received. I earn less than the £50k threshold but these benefits take me over. As much as it disappoints me that I will now be taxed on child benefit I have to say I don't think we should receive it anyway. IMO child benefit should be scrapped and replaced by a system aimed solely at lower earners. I do sympathize with the OP but anyone earning over £50k should not be receiving child benefit. Unfortunately as someone else pointed out the whole tax system has evolved into a horrendously complex system with too much money being given to people who don't need it. The child benefit we received for our daughter (now 13) has always gone directly into an account set up in her name, hopefully to help give her a start onto the property ladder.

I'd have thought they'd be relieved.

Someone post the Little Britain sketch where as soon as the client is out of the door Walliams is on the blower "You'll never guess, she's only having it off with his brother".

Fair enough, there are probably more important things to spend money on such as a new CB.

I recall Cortese saying in one of the fan's dinners that we would exit the contract when we came out of the football league i.e. got promotion to the Prem?

WTF has happened to the bus?

-----------Boruc Clyne Fonte Maya Fox Cork Davis Morgan Gaston Lallana ---------Lambert We need 3CM's IMO, especially away from home.

I vote for Nicola Cortese

We'll be overrun in midfield with that line up. A defeat tonight I think.
