    No his best pitch was it will cost you 2p a mile to run. Not bad. But at £26,000 and the fact it looks ugly I wasn't that impressed.

    Watched this earlier in the week.
    Grim and unnecessarily graphically violent. (The butchery scene was horrendous) but I thought it was a good story and well acted.

    Yes, that does leave a lasting impression. However I agree, a good story, well acted. Of course, the graphic nature of the violence will attract some. It's not what I call Hollywood violence. Defiinitely grimmer than that.

    My school used to be closed for at least a few days every winter, due to crappy central heating systems that would break at the first sign of cold weather - do you think that's why I got some Bs and Cs in my O- levels and not all As.

    I'm not sure, Rorsach. The telepathy's playing up today. I'll get back to you on that one.

    Sorry mate. I'm sat here with a bad back, bored and I couldn't resist. ;)

    Excuses excuses, I suggest you get that telepathy fixed then.
    I often find people are like parachutes - if they're not there the first time you need them, chances are you won't need them again....be warned TSS :emoticon-0105-wink:

    The last time I flew out of the UK they confiscated my 125 ml jar of Marmite. How come you can board a cross channel ferry with any of the items banned from planes?

    I'd turn back rather than give up a jar of marmite.

    Can carry it in hold luggage, but nothing bigger than 100 ml in hand luggage....that includes hand cream, so not surprised it includes marmite.

    I was kept waiting this morning for my flight because the couple had about 12 bottles of liquid (all less than 100ml) packed in their luggage and not in the clear plastic bags. They had too much anyway and there are about three zillion signs telling you to put liquids out of your bag and into a clear plastic bag, along with about a dozen staff telling people to do this as they approached security. My patience was tested.

    Everyone surely knows the rules by now....the fact they had <100 ml bottles suggested they did.

    Neatly packed in their wash bags. I see it a lot. People know the rules but I think they don't understand tat an X ray machine shows everything. It is like they think they can hide them <doh>

    I was being held up because I had some samples that contained metal powders and show up as black in the machine. I take them out and show the guards, but some send it through and some stop me to swab my bag.

    A chap I knew was carrying flasks of baby elephant poo (for extraction of hormones if you must know). That was before the 100 ml rules though. <laugh>

    A friend of mine (luckily I wasn't with her) objected to them taking her body cream and slathered it all over her arms in temper. I told her she probably featured in a few You Tube hits. I would have had to slink away.

    Anyone fancy a good read - am ploughing through Child 44 at the moment - murder mystery stuff, but set inside the state police department in Russia in the 1950s.

    It's great stuff.

    Yeah, with my new-found enthusiasm for James Bond [after 50 odd years of total indifference] I've kept a few tabs on this. Damien Lewis could be the first ginger Bond. Hiddleston we know about. Tom Hardy could be the grittiest Bond yet. Idris Elba as the first black actor to play Bond, or James Norton as a blond Bond.

    i think Hiddleston could be good, but Tom Hardy is such a good actor that I'd like to see him do one, at least. He'd be totally wasted on it, but he'd make the film better than it otherwise would be.
