  1. To be fair, it was Lenny Henry that set the whole thing up in the first place so that's why he still fronts it. I don't buy into this 'knock charity nights' thing cos although it may not be the best television in the world, they 'celebrities' are at least doing something to make a difference rather than sitting on their fat arses raking their money in.

     

    Don't get my wrong, its a good cause and it seems to raise a shedload of cash. The cynical side of me thinks that be BBC make a killing on this, getting upgrades done to infrastructure etc on the production costs side of it. May or may not be true,but how 30% of a text cost goes in admin fees i'll never now.

  2. I just switched to them today, was really impressed with them so far. Cheap service, good customer care (for new accounts at least) and i'm getting connected in under a week. took over a month for plusnet to connect me.

  3. Happy Birthday Cath! You should enjoy this one can't be too many more :rolleyes:

     

     

    (its ok, i can get away with it as i live in plymouth and i'm drunk and don't post so much these days...)

    Howl's Moving Castle - Excellent, at least as good as Spirited Away.

     

    Is til the ending, that ruins the film. Although the book is a bit like that too according to my friend...

     

    If you're after Miyazaki i'd recommend princess monoke, nausicaa of the valley of the wind, kikis delivery service and grave of the fireflies. None are as good as spirited away but they come quite close.

     

     

     

    Felt let down by Princess Mononoke and to a lesser extent Grave of the Fireflies after all the hype like.

     

     

    avoid pom poko, only yesterday and porco rosso then. They are miles behind the others i've mentioned so far. Don't get me wrong, their good, just not as good as the others.
