The Fish

feel the love.

While you're at it could you please stop people posting mean things about my student-ness. it offends me to my very core.

so far it's been awesome. one of the few things that my entire house will happily sit down and watch.it's become a bit of a routine, Make a sunday roast, eat that at 8, do the washing up then pile into the front room to watch Planet Earth, Father Ted, MotD2, American Dad and Family guy, then Wait for West Wing to start at 12.15 the camera work is just astounding, and although the footgae wasn't as spectacular this week as is has been, the audio tracks were remarkable. The playful Grizzly theme had us chuckling, and the slow motion Nile Croc attack with full string section was breath-taking. I also enjoy the "Planet Earth Diaries" as it gives an insight into the making of such spectacular tv.

proof the prison system doesn't work.

despise adverts with a burning passionate rage that shatters my normally calm exterior. Radio 2 can be good if you catch Wossy "interviewing" the right kind of guest. Only bother with 5Live when I can't get to a tv on matchday. Local Radio serves no purpose other than as a platform for incessant adverts of less quality than those fucking finances ones on the tv. They chop bad music in half and the stations are populated by folk Kerazier than a student with a cone on his head. Factalicious.

got to say I'm intrigued as to how you're going to catergorise it

hate local shitey radio. it's all a bit tinpot to be fair. loved Mark and LArd, Like Zane Lowe and worshipped John Peel. there are so many who are far worse.

know-it-all old fart tbh.

Pikey peasant wagon passenger. Tbh

Well, with all the whiney pedants around, I felt best to try and cover as many bases as possible. (you have no idea how many times I read and re-read this post to make sure I hadn't mispelt anything. You lot have me paranoid.)

you're right Rob I shouldn't have said "best" I should have said most enjoyable. Most entertaining... or some such. mind you I didn't say that the Best movie from recent years was from a comic, nor did I say that all comic book movies were good, I did in fact state that the reverse was absolutely possible.

trouble is that those kids could become as clearly unhinged and spread the insanity.. the trouble is that if she believed in Aliens with such vehement rage she'd be dismissed as a kook. it's people like that which terrify me, she is one convincing sermon away from strapping a bomb to a car and blowing up a synagogue or mosque, she is afterall a spiritual warrior... and they are "Dork Sided".. I hope that I never scare my kids the way that woman terrified her own. I can understand you defending your faith, it is yours afterall, but this isn't faith, this is religious zeal, the likes of which we would normally identify as typical of the Islamic faith. She's more narrow minded than those of us who decry all forms of religion, cetainly more dangerous. I can teach any children I have morals and ethics, without imposing my belief or lack thereof. That way they can (if they choose) take a religion when they are at the age to make such a decision, based on their interpretation and knowledge, rather than simply fgollowing in their fathers footsteps.

West Wing, Sopranos, 24 are all outstanding; great writing, high acting standard, all have the same fast pace that draws you in. American comedy is also coming on leaps and bounds, from improv-comedy like Curb, animated series like american Dad and Family guy to Satirical news shows like the Daily Show with John Stewart Smallville is good.. but a little less like a drama and a little more like a teen-sci-fi-thing... same category as Buffy, Angel etc. Hate Sex in the City, Desperate Housewives, O.C., one tree hill and so on and so forth.

... that trailer looks awesome. it's notable that some of the best recent movies have been from Comics. Batman Begins, Sin City, Xmen 1&2, Spiderman, admittedly The Hulk couldn't have been worse. But I reckon that's more due to the fact the Hulk as a character is very limited. The point is that Comics might be more and more tasters of what is to come to the big screen, they will be less ridiculed by people who think that they're for kids and kids alone.

fnar fnar

anybody know some exemplars of the genre?

show me a religious man and I'll show you a scared fool.

best advice a mother ever gave her son "Don't take your guns to town son, leave your guns at home Bill" sounds like you've dealt with it fine. but I would have been sorely tempted to take your neighbour who witnessed it along with you while you settled it with the parent... but that'd probably just have escalated ill-feeling between your and her. push comes to shove you know your boy can take him, so in an inter-family feud you've already got the upper hand

Bluegrass it is then, ta boys

V3x 3G version of the V3... but tbh I prefer my old V3, slimmer and does the job fine... might switch to the SLVR.. looks ace.

How would you define the Harmonica based, stompy msuic? whats the name of the genre? is it just a Blues offshoot? or is it something else entirely? cheers in advance

better that, than have her piloting a space shuttle.

one that I wouldn't mind locked in a mortal battle with a giant squid.

a panderer of bohemothic proportions.

love the show and take over the tv in our house from 8.30 til 9 every night. irreverence at its very best
