Well, no reply to my Christmas greeting, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm going with the theory that she saw it, thought it was sweet/nice but for whatever reason didn't have the opportunity to reply. Let's go with that.
Because I don't think it's a great topic for a film Beef. The current pope? Obama? Cameron? The leading mullah? Really unlikely to happen. It's an easy target and I think it's a bit wrong. However, if made it should be released.
Merry Christmas though, you fun, amusing, passionate, barking mad Saints family. It's a pleasure to be amongst you.
Indeed. Past events would suggest that she does like me. But merry Christmas to you, sir. I hope you have a lovely and enjoyable day
Every one has different tastes. As long as it is legal ( in the film world) then I have no problem with it. Just because I may not like a idea of a film I wouldn't denie others who want to watch it. The film can't take the piss out of Kim as bad as the Diana film did anyway.
Is that assumption based solely on what you have been told by parties who have direct conflicts with North Korea? It is all a perception, we are fed a description of what North Korea is like from people with vested interests and no doubt the people of North Korea are fed a different perception of what the west is like too.
Do like Koeman would and go direct, even if it fails you know where you stand and you have tried your best. Over thinking things can give you a massive headache without getting anywhere, I have done this before. Good luck, hope it works out .
Anyone else watch 'Marvellous' tonight on BBC2. Factual story of a football fan with learning difficulties who ignores them and goes on to become Stoke City's kitman. Truly inspirational and lovely to watch - so many emotions are felt throughout it. I leave you with this quote. "I've always wanted to be happy... so I decided to be." - Neil Baldwin
You were watching a repeat, DTLW. Several of us watched it back in early November, when it was first transmitted. Yes indeed, an inspirational story, with an unusual presentation, in that the actors frequently break the fourth wall to the audience, alongside the actual people involved, witness Lou Macari and Neil Baldwin himself. Toby Jones once again shows just how good he is. And that Baldwin quote is so true. Happiness is a state of mind.
10 years ago today one of the most horrific and tragic natural disasters in recent history occurred. Hundreds of thousands dead and millions of people affected. RIP to all that died that day and my thoughts are with the people who lost loved ones. It still sends shivers down my spine.
I can't believe that was 10 years ago. I remember watching the first news of the tsunami coming in and the horror unfolding through the next hours and days. It just shows how powerless humanity is when large-scale natural disasters like earthquakes and so on take place. As you say Tom, RIP those who died on the day and in the aftermath.
I know someone who's son was killed in Thailand that day - the worst thing for him was that it took three months to get the body back to be buried. Absolutely tragic.
Listening to a Radio 5 programme about the tragedy of the tsunami, 10 years on. Over 200,000 estimated as those who died from it. 5,000,000 estimated made homeless. Astonishing. Effectively, the equivalent of Scotland being wiped off the face of the map. I was going away at the time and shutting off all contact, and so I didn't really remember it except when I returned home. By then the news had stopped being headline, so it emerged slowly for me, because I went looking for it on the net. In a sense I could take it all in much better that way.
I read somewhere that a survivor described it as like "being in a washing machine full of razors and broken glass", truly terrifying and profoundly tragic for all involved, including family and friends.
I watched first time around and was choked up when his Mother died, their special relationship was what made the programme so moving.
Went walking yesterday, over the Winchester Downs. A lovely little walk it was too. Found the commemorative stone that marks the scar that is the M3 in the historic landscape. Because it was made from non-reinforced concrete it appears to have been kicked over, but it still lies there in the grass. Perhaps it's a more appropriate way of commemoration, as it looks like a tomb for the landscape. I took a photo: please log in to view this image The fitting inscription reads: THIS LAND WAS RAVAGED BY: G. Malone J. MacGregor R. Key J. Major D. Keep C. Parkinson C. Patten M. Thatcher C. Chope The same South Downs at Brighton got tunnels. Only the same as what was asked for at Winchester. It's not likely, but I hope the stone lasts a very long time in its prone position.
It all depends on the MP for the area. Hindhead got a tunnel at Devil's Punch Bowl; decided at a time when Virinia Bottomly was in government.
It was suggested to me yesterday, by one chap, that it was about civil servants. Personally, I never thought civil servants had an open political will. Here's a good summary from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twyford_Down
