    Looks quality, <ok>

    Look out for series 3 were Alice Morgan returns and they be making a movie next year.

    Talking of films, has anyone seen this French film Irreversible? http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/ One of the best films made, but just don't watch it with your wife/partner, unless she is as sick as you!

    My turn:
    Just turned 50!!!
    Born Hackney, lived in Leyton a few of my mates were Spammers,but I didn't care my grandad was a season ticket holder in the old west stand.
    My first match was against Stoke 1973 previously mentioned John Pratt scored twice- stood in the Park Lane end with my sister,when we scored the tide of bodies took me all the way to the front wall!
    In 1974 my dad decided to emigrate to Oz, so October 74 was my last live match- V the Goons we won 2-0 Chivers scored both.
    Fav movies all the Flying High movies especially the first one I had to see it 3 times because I missed so much from laughing. Also like Shawshank Life of Brian any Mel Brooks especially liked Silent Movie.
    Also like Waking the Dead and Hustle.

    Yeah, I can't recommend it enough, Boss. The quality of acting is superb. Other than Steve Buschemi (The Big Lebowski, Reservior Dogs, Con Air), there's no one famous in it. Once you start on it, you'll be hooked. i've done 36 episodes in (seasons 1-3), in about 2 months.

    Ok here goes..I'm 51, born in Cobham Surrey(bloody Chavs have taken the place over with their training ground).Been a Spurs fan since 1967.My grandfather took me and my 2 brothers(1 is a Chelsea fan) to first see Spurs in 1968 in the League Cup against Peterborough which we won 1-0(Greaves) I think.Moved to Devon in 1970,came back to London in the 80's.While I lived in London got to see Hoddle play for Spurs,Monaco and England.I moved to Spain in 1989.Back in London(Wimbledon)this year.So I've been able to see Spurs again.Although only in the Europa.
    Fav films all seem to have been mentioned..I do like..Alas De Mariposa,Barton Fink,If,One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.I like The Walking Dead too.
    Oh work.. I seem to have done a lot of jobs.
    Been married once.
    I now live with a Chelsea season ticket holder(I can't get away from them).My son is also a Spurs fan.
    Almost forgot fav match..1981 FA cup final against Man City.R.Villa's goal was magical.

    I'm 24 and from Devon (Devon-born, Devon-bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head), but currently residing in Somerset.

    By day I work as a software engineer/website developer, which means I sit in front of a computer and code for 8 hours. By night, I like to smoke with my housemates and discuss political and ethical matters, and how all of the world's financial problems could be solved by Daniel Levy.

    First Spurs match was a 2-1 pre-season win against Inter Milan a few years ago as part of a stag do. I remember walking into MacDonalds and ordering 4 Big Macs.

    Roo - I thought the first series of Boardwalk was amazing. Lots of gratuitous nudity as well which was a bonus. Paz de la Huerta is fit, what a body!
    The second series I felt a bit of a struggle. Have sky plussed the third series so will watch it. I will give it a go again after your glowing endorsement!. The worst ever series I watched was Lost. That's a lot of hours I will never get back! What a cop out ending.
    I really love Homeland at the moment. Definitely recommend that to anyone who hasn't seen it. The main character Brody's wife is lovely and she gets them out as well which I appreciated.

    I should add there were obviously no MacDonalds round my way in Devon (think 'Hot Fuzz'), so this was a very special occasion for me.

    It's not an invasion, more of a home coming. Many people originally from Lewes return home for the 5th (where ever they are in the world).

    Lewes Sidney, not Lewis, he drives an F1 car, soon to be a slow F1 car. But you are right about the Harveys, the finest pint in the Land. A proper pint of Bitter, it actually tastes bitter. Some of the celbration ales are stonkingly good as well.

    Yeah, it's got it's bonuses!! Really surprised about your thoughts on season 2, although it did need something more to spice it up. - just keep watching ;) I can't say any more!

    Lost pissed me right off. I was hooked and when I saw the ending which was rushed into 2 episodes, I was fuming. There was what... 130 odd episodes?

    So many people have been going on about homeland. I'm going to start on that now I've got to wait about 9 months for the next boardwalk season!

    I'm with you on "Laberinto del Faun." I was just thinking that might be the best film I've seen in the past few years, along with "Momento."

    I grew up in Mr. Roger's neighborhood, and served him ice cream when I was a kid. But Winnie the Pooh is cooler.
