Aye the egg bloke was a proper mad inventor. It's a good idea though, and I think they're right that it'll sell a lot - they'll love shit like that in America. At first I was sitting looking at these people - the egg bloke and the Novaflow bloke - and thinking they were idiots for mulling over the investments (especially the Novaflow bloke who turned it down), but I guess if you really believe in the product and think it'll make you millions, you don't want to be giving up 40% of those millions for £75k or whatever. However the Novaflow bloke was taking the piss - £150k for 10% of his company. All he had was a patented idea for which he has to give up 4% of the retail price to the university, and he's trying to claim it's worth £1.5m!? Idiot. The female dragon is a wisened old bitch btw. Mind, you can see watching the dragons how they've got where they are. All pretty charismatic, confident people (with the exception of the woman) and really on the ball with their thinking when they have the ideas presented to them. The wifey with the bog seats though.

That's the classic response when you don't actually know the answer yourself. I bet she was sat there thinking "The little twat hasn't got a clue. So it is."

Agreed, how fucking weird was the ending? I thought it was a total cop-out. Oh, and totally agree about the the film being over-hyped. Decent film, nothing more. I Remember when it was on tv, the mother asking me what the inmate next to Lecter had flung at Starling. Jesus Wept. 169952[/snapback] Hair gel. What was your response? Aye it was just complete crap. I was bored pretty much right from the start of the book, but felt duty-bound to finish it.

It's poor. The book was even worse than the film. The follow-up that is.

Would it be controversial to suggest that the Silence of the Lambs was nothing like as good as it was made out to be? I thought it was a decent thriller, but Jesus wept, the hype was incredible.

Agreed. Basically a British actor that the yanks have latched onto and tell everyone that'll listen that "Oh. Mygod. He is like soooooo totally amazing in that film" no matter what he does.

Dark Water is complete and utter turd like. Is Anthony Hopkins on some sort of quest to make super boring films or what? He's only ever in shit these days. Plus he's basically Hannibal Lecter in EVERYTHING. He doesn't kill people, but he does the starey thing and has the same detached air about him in everything you see. Basically he's rubbish. Watch The Human Stain for another example of Hopkins' boring cinema repertoire.

The Interpreter. It was decent enough. Nowt special though. I like Sean Penn, but he didn't seem that arsed in this one.

Never heard of it - comedy, is it? 168795[/snapback] Aye, the bit where they chopped the 8 year olds knackers off. Laugh? I nearly shit!

Sexy Beast. Seen it before, but it was on Film4 so took the opportunity to watch it again. Ben Kingsley is fucking brilliant in it. The way he delivers his lines. Scary bastard.

Funny you brought this up Cath... was at work last night and felt myself being tapped on the left shoulder for most of the evening. Yeh, you know the scenario, no one close by when it was happening. This is pretty common on this wing, but my medcart slowly rolling down the hall on its own is another matter. 168547[/snapback] Joking about aside, this is a little unsettling. I was also on night shift last night. A couple odd things happened. Each one was explainable i suppose, but all together added up to an odd night, i actually said to one of the morning staff that it had been a weird night....pens disappearing, fridge door wide open etc etc. Was is 'haunting night' or summat? 168561[/snapback] I've lost a pen and left my fridge door open before too. WEIRD! 168573[/snapback] Was that after you discovered there was knowt left in your fridge? 168579[/snapback] On reflection, maybe I ate the pen.

"Keep us informed"? You sound like Derek Acorah replying to fan mail.

A huge spider. What a load of shit!

All the nice things to do in heaven, I can't imagine them queuing up for that particular spectacle.

A heated box thing, where you keep reptiles. 168313[/snapback] I see. I thought it must have been something like that.

What's a vivarium?

Spooookyyyyy! Although you should really be working, not playing silly buggers. That's my taxes you know!

168148[/snapback] Ditto.

Classic brush off, application straight in the bin tbh. 168040[/snapback] Way to give him confidence Renton.

Did anyone watch The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hill? It's an HBO documentary - first part was on the Crime and Investigation Network last night. It's a two-parter - next part next week. Good so far. Unflinching would be the word.

Adecco? Have you tried there?

There might be some work going spare licking stamps at our place if you think you're up to it.

taking a year out so I can get some cash and pay for the following year, mostly sales or recruitment consultancy because I've some experience in that field. 168024[/snapback] Have you tried Nigel Wright in the town? On Grey Street?

It doesn't even rhyme! You might have more success if you convert it to numbers and dazzle me with freestyle numerical wizardry. Booya! 168004[/snapback] thank fuck you're not Chuck Norris, if you were, Gemmil would be up the duff by now. you need to be careful with those "Booyas" tbh. And Gemmil, if I get to the interview stage, I get the job. Simple as. Trouble is alot of these types are looking for experienced folk and I don't have the relevant experience, just hoping to blag it to be honest. 168015[/snapback] What jobs are you looking for like? Is it not just summer work you're after, or is it specifically related to your degree? Just get a job in a bar man.
