  1. Barton looking sprightly. Geremi not at the races yet.
  2. So my chums....THIS is the big one!!! 3-1
  3. Now she knows I'm settling in for the game she's full of ideas about going out. It's snowing ffs!
  4. Never seen those before very good.
  5. Redtube. Just booble it! Gobble it?!
  6. Schnelsen or Moorfleet? I've never known the former be anything but hellish. And I used to need about four U-Bahns and buses to get there from my old haunt. Should have just got a cab really. Cracking meatballs though. Mancy knows I'm a fan. Everyone knows you like Cracking meatballs Meenzer You wish Jon Martin's more wurst than meatballs according to smoothy. He's quite the brat.
  7. Out of interest if you go a 1 or 2 days without any caffeine do you develop headaches or sleep problems? Send answers to Luckyluke care of the Open University. If I go 1 or 2 hours without coffee I don't feel myself this is true. Caffeine as a bad thing is overrated, this hiatus about coffee started in America probably (the land of cocaine).
  8. Bet he used his arm again, with that ingenious facade of it hitting him in the stomach. It's between him and Carra for rush goalie of the year.
  9. Needs to be. Park Life prepares his bizarre wanking equipment... It's quite a set-up I tell thee.
  10. Well technically caffeine in normal amounts doesn't actually do a great deal physiologically to wake you up (it's mostly placebo), but it does tend to leave you feeling a lot worse afterwards. Plus too much caffeine and/or withdrawal symptoms can give you a stinking headache (which I suppose wakes you up in a round about way ). It'd probably have been banned by this Government long ago if it wasn't so nicely taxable. I very rarely drink coffee or coke but when I do I can never get to sleep at night. Just 1 cup/glass will do it. It does depend to a degree on the person and the amount you usually consume, but it has little to no "wake up" effect in normal amounts, although those doses will still give the downturn side effect (which is a bit of a bitch considering you're getting the low without actually getting the high) and may well make getting to sleep harder (although with coke, both in full fat and diet form, there's plenty of other stuff in there that can potentially mess up sleep cycles too).

I normally have about 3 coffee's and one or two teas a day. Sleep unaffected. Dreams raucous.
  11. Chinatown ain't gritty realism sweetie. Well it ain't Singin In The Rain. It's more film noir updated. Yes, and what was it about the updating that made it fit in the 70's so well? Don't get your knickers in a twist now. I thought so. ^^^^^

Don't get your knickers in a twist now. "Chinatown’s dark theme is one of the elements that places it in the category of neo-noir, the second generation of the genre known as film noir. Though the precise history of film noir is difficult to define (the term was coined in the journal Cahiers du Cinéma by Nino Frank in 1946), this genre evolved through a combination of German expressionistic drama (such as F. W. Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu), American gangster film (Mervyn LeRoy’s 1931 Little Caesar), and popular British mystery novels (by Dorothy Sayers, H. C. Bailey, Agatha Christie, and the like). Several common features characterized film noir pictures, which were popular in the United States during the 1940s and early 1950s: the presence of a beautiful but dangerous woman (known as the femme fatale), gritty and generally urban settings, compositional tension (highly contrasting light and dark colors or oblique camera angles, for example), and themes of moral ambiguity and alienation. To prepare for the making of Chinatown, Polanski studied John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon (1941), which is accepted as the first full embodiment of film noir. (Huston himself plays Noah Cross, Chinatown’s most despicable villain). Polanski also read Raymond Chandler’s mystery novels, several of which had been made into film noir classics, such as Murder, My Sweet (1944; originally titled Farewell, My Lovely) and The Big Sleep (1946)." We're both kinda right. I generally see Chinatown primarily reinforcing the claustrophobic elements of noir and using reality altering (unbalancing) camerawork and high color as a distancing device. I would say 'gritty' is an element, but the city is kind of nightmarish and labyrinthian rather than realist.
  13. The old "too drunk to know what they were doing" lark.
  14. End of term party becomes village square orgy By Laura Clout A school was forced to help girls get emergency contraception after an end of term party saw under-age pupils having unprotected sex in a village square. The event is said to have involved "a disturbingly high number of girls" having sex while they were too drunk to know what they were doing, and also left one boy hospitalised. Witnesses described how "all hell let loose" at the party in a picturesque Lancashire village, and said that two youths tried to break into an ambulance that was called for the collapsed boy. Alison Hughes, the deputy head of the Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, was so concerned that she detailed the "catalogue of disasters" in a two-page letter to parents, warning them about the sexual activity, violent behaviour and alleged drug abuse that took place. She wrote: "We have had to help a disturbingly high number of girls through the aftermath of having unprotected sex that evening, most of whom have told us they were too drunk to be in control of themselves. The risks are real. Assume the worst." In the letter, sent out at the end of term on Thursday, Mrs Hughes said that around 70 pupils from the school had attended the event, along with a large number of gatecrashers. She added that the school was dismayed to discover that many of the pupils had been taken to the party by parents who "must have known" their children were carrying alcohol. Mrs Hughes added: "A lot of the children who came to us needed sexual health care. These are children we have to protect. Thankfully there is a great deal of trust between ourselves and the children so they felt they could talk to us." Witnesses said that around 200 youths gathered in and around the village hall in Wray, Lancashire, which is a few miles from the school. The event, to celebrate the end of Year 11, had been organised by pupils, although the village hall committee had understood that an adult had taken responsibility for the booking. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...22/norgy122.xml
  15. I've upgraded tp the two teabags recently. One normal black tea and one "wellness" (silly German usage). As someone who lives in northern Germany, you shouldn't use teabags. Vile stuff. Pure leaves and a sieve tbh. I have other more 'fussy' teas up my sieve you know.
  16. Makes Taylor look like Baresi. Would that make him Stefan Taylor then?
  17. Chinatown ain't gritty realism sweetie. Well it ain't Singin In The Rain. It's more film noir updated.
  18. Makes Taylor look like Baresi. Someone always goes too far. I reckon it's bullshit anyway. Hopefully.
  19. Makes Taylor look like Baresi.
  20. I really thought SA would have knocked some sense into him. Too scatty to defend.
