I watched The Poisedon Adventure on Channel 4 on the weekend. Remember it from when I was a kid, but didn't remember it being so harrowing! When the old manny's (who is also the Grandpa in the origibal Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) wife dies it's harsh as fuck! Good film though, everyone dies...

Tonight Potter fans!

Can you PM me your email address - I've gotta mate who's dead keen...

Agreed, it's awesome. Brilliant cover of The Clash's 'Death or Glory' by Social Distortion playing at the end credits too...Emile Hirsch is brilliant innit.

Just watched the first two eps - brilliant. Loved LoG, so was dubious about no Gatiss or Dyson involvement (what is Jeremy Dyson up to these days?), but this seems like a natural progression. Mr Lomax is the best so far...

Haven't seen it, but know lots of folks that raved about it being amazing, up there with 'Chopper'....

That'll be him. I suspect the rest of the men with Oggy were the rest of Bloodnut, they practice on a Sunday afternoon.

Long hair? Dirty-looking? Probably my brother...

8.30pm-ish onwards, 50 first prize, numerous runners-up goodies courtesy of Asylum Books & Gammes. Expeliamus!

Check yer PMs brah!

And me! (in the back-room)

I had a weird experience in the Mooring a coupl'a weeks ago actually. I was waiting for my gal (Amy that works behind the bar at the weekend) to finish cleaning up after the open mic on a Sunday night, there was only myself, Amy and I think Angie in the bar. I went to the gents, and while taking a piss I was sure there was someone standing behind me, and there was a figure reflected in my glasses, I turn my hed to find there's no one there. It was pretty fucking creepy....

I have one of these in my bathroom....

Tommorow night - rock on!

To spend on moat-cleaning, light-bulbs and chandeliers...

Make sure the volume on your telly is up.. "mumblemumblemumbleMUTHAFUCKA!mumblemumblemumblemumble"

Got 'Being Human' yesterday and watched the first three eps. Pretty good so far, though I don't think they box set I bought has the pilot on, whcih is a bit annoying....

Medically, it's called the perinium, I think. I like to call it the Barse.

Kicking off at 8.30-9pm, Fabulous prizes! Who ya gonna call?

Today's Pet hate: Local advertising on Northsound: excruciatingly cringe-worthy.

1) I was looking for Megatron, Thundercraker and Bombsheel (who they were before the up-grade) 2) Lenard Nimoy 3) False (it was near the end, but not the very last thing he did) 4) Stan Bush 5) Wreck-Gar 6) Me King! 7) Ironhide, Prowl, Brawn, Ratchet 8) B: Beyond Good, Beyond Evil, Beyond Your Wildest imagination 9) 2006 10) Kranex 11) True 12) 16 The winning team did pretty well, 43.5 points I think...

It is a really, really good movie, but not one you'll watch more than once... It should be used to teach children the dangers of drugs.
