It's like a car crash, I just cannot believe how you keep making a fool of yourself.

Probably because 2 were Scottish.

In Enemy at the Gates, the bad guy ( Ed Harris ) has an American accent, the good guys ( the Russians ) all have English ones. What a pointless debate this has become. ( And if anybody missed it, post #39 was intended to be ironic ).

I was more concerned with the story-line inaccuracies in the filmed trilogy, especially the elves somehow turning up at Helm's Deep. Absolutely disgraceful abuse of a much loved masterpiece of English literature.

And what is an Orc's true accent then ?

It was dodging the traffic as it was only playing chicken, it was really a duck.

Care to comment on the inaccuracies in the original ? Such as Barnes Wallis not being the chief designer of the Wellington, that Gibson did not devise the twin lights system, etc, etc. Surely they are equally integral parts of an accurate story ?

If a picture paints a thousand words, what the *** is this ( by Jackson Pollock ) saying ?

FWIW, the orginal B&W film is NOT entirely historically accurate : http://www.sirbarneswallis.com/DamBusters.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dam_Busters_%28film%29#Historical_inaccuracies If the only issue in the new film is renaming the dog, I think that's an extremely understandable and very minor point.

Only if you are in that mac !

Remember she comes from the 'ALL men are potential rapists' school of feminism and she has to be sensationalist or nobody would know who she is. I hope all mass media formats will now just shun the increasingly irrelevant, prune skinned, old trog. ( As for her main raison d'etre, my wife is always asking why would women want to be equal when they are already superior ? ).

Not quite THAT old !

Paper tape readers, punched card sorters, OCP switches, 7-track open reel magnetic tape units, green screen 80*25 CRT monitors, chain printers, - you could shut down an ICL system by typing 'DIE', it came back with 'OK' and stopped. Those were the days. ( This is danger of becoming the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch ).

Might have something to do with a pampered and privileged lifestyle.

I promise not to call him a mongrel this time

In IBM terms, half a byte is a 'nibble'. Just to show how old I am, the first MAINFRAME I worked on had 64Kb of memory, mind you it was ancient even for those days. A few years later we got our first PCs, with 540Kb of RAM, 2 floppy drives with no hard discs, and 8086 chips. You get more power in a watch today.

"Girls and Boys" or "The Universal", but I think on the whole they are a much overrated band.

Your local council should publish their Cemetery Regulations on their website, just try GOOGLEing that phrase to find examples. Did you speak to a Councillor, who generally know bugger all about rules and regs but will make things up to sound as if they do, ( little big man syndrome ), or to an officer in the Cems and Crems Department, who should give you a straight answer.

Or even indicating one way and turning the other ! I think that cyclists, as with any other subset of the population, suffer by having a small proportion of f()ckwits who wish to impose their will upon others who might not share their evangelistic position, eg those that 'own' every inch of tarmac and resent having to share any part of it with unbelievers, be they in a car or on foot. On the other hand, I've lost count of the number of drivers, whether in car or lorry, who leave the absolute minimum distance to my right as they shoot past me, or who cannot wait behind for 20 yards as I pass the junction they wish to turn into - I had one who went past me and turned no more than 10 yards in front into his drive, why the f'ing rush ?

True R&B is Rythm & Blues, the type of stuff you are referring to is just the evil spawn of Soul & Disco.

Best bit of that : " the treacherous, slippery and dishonest Tories". He's learning !
