Jaysus. ..... Why did I ever think that 4.40 am was a good time to book the NCT test. Not even a coffee machine here. Worse than a hospital waiting room.


We also have stayed in the Premier Inn, in the Titanic quarter, was grand, but just don't go looking for a late night drink. No late bar or residents bar. 11 pm the shutters come down.

Less than 2 weeks left to sign up for the Fantasy Football league folks, as much as I love your penchant for leaving everything until 11.25 on the Saturday the league kicks off it makes my life much more bearable if you can sign up in advance

I'm expecting big things this year! Sign up through the link in my signature and watch the €€€'s roll in

Yes the Predictions Competition is now open and selections can be entered.

Just 13 days until the start, please don't be an unlucky one who misses out.

OnePlus 2 is only being released today by all accounts lots more phones than last year but reckon it might be hard to get one of the first batch.

[NewApproach]

What were you hoping for? I thought it was good.

Grand total of zero original artefacts was disappointing. The bits around the history of Belfast was interesting but overall I was underwhelmed by it.

Got contacted about providing a photograph for the upcoming Daniel Negreanu documentary, this was on Saturday evening and they get back onto me last night "urgently" needing the photo as they all have to be in today for their delivery deadline sure it's not like the thing has been in production for months, TILT!

One of my mates came back from honey moon and had to start into work the next day since he had no more holidays to take.

His wife is a teacher so she had a few months to recover from jet lag. Sickened

Sky Movies doing some Tom Cruise season as part of the hype for his new flick.

Watched Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut by accident while flicking. Had seen before TBF.

Going back over his filmography, as creepy as the fecker is, he has done some outstanding work and is arguably the Hollywood's GOAT lead guy.

Was thinking of the flip side of this recently actors/actress who are A list but shouldn't really be, Jessica Alba would be considered A list but if you look at her body of work it's pretty awful.

Tom Cruise is top tier movie star if only he could shake off this Scientology stuff, going to an advanced preview of the new Mission Impossible tonight in the Savoy, haven't been in that cinema in ages.

If you were 6, would you think it was cool?

Work colleague brought her 13 and 7 year old , teenager found it good kid was bored out of his mind .

[shrapnel]

brought my kids there when they were 7 and 5. they liked it without being blown over. we enjoyed it though

Also took them to W5, which is one of the best interactive science museums i've ever been to. We stayed there 4 hours, and still had to drag the kids out as they didn't want to leave.

Get the fucking boat. Tom Cruise is an annoying little prick who has minimal acting talent. All he has is that one smirk / smile that makes you want to punch him in the face.

If I ever met him, I'd happily drop down to my knees so we'd both be on the same level as I punched him square in the face repeatedly

Did you miss the opportunity or are you in time to reply? Today is only starting there now.

[Strewelpeter]

I don't think Cruise is much of an actor he has been in two worthwhile films and Wombatman names both of them. He kind of lets Eyes Wide Shut down with his woodenness but tbh thats something the I think Kubrick was looking for a bit like the way he used Ryan O'Neill in Barry Lyndon.
OK he is off the wall brilliant in Magnolia but after that what else have you got other than anodyne performances in big budget movies that made loads of money?

Looking at his IMDB its amazing that he has been in so few movies and how many of those were hugely successful.

[Wombatman]

An Italian man has today pleaded not guilty to murdering well-known religious affairs writer Tom O’Gorman.

Today, the Central Criminal Court heard it was dealing with an insanity case.

Under Irish law, if someone is considered to have committed an offence but was insane at the time, the verdict may be not guilty by reason of insanity - but this decision has to be made by a jury.

Seven men and five women were sworn in to hear the two-day trial, which is due to get underway later this week.

Detention indefinitely in psychiatric hospital if not guilty?

Tom Cruise is a gimp, but some of his films are cash cows. The Mission Impossible franchise scores stupid money.

he was an integral part of those movies, which doesn't mean to say they wouldn't have been enjoyable if his characters had been played by someone else.


I'm not a cruise fanboy, but he is a very capable actor. His performances are never greater than the movies he stars in, but he is almost always spot on.

Born on the Fourth of July is a great movie and his performance carries it completely in a challenging role.

I see today is the official launch date of the One Plus Two. A few things have been leaked so far like its amazing 4GB of Ram but all will be revealed shortly. Link below.

Need a guy to play a role in between Brad Pit and Bruce Willis better get Tom Cruise. That gap is massive and seriously lucrative.

He sometimes showed he could do a bit more but other times a lot less. The last Samurai, Knight and Day (watched half of this recently - shudder) and far and away to name just a few. Also Jerry maguire was Cuba Gooding jnr's film which I think people forget. Cruise gets a lot of credit for people giving a shit about Gooding becoming sound likewise a few good men was all about Jack Nicholson stealing the show scene.

I think I should. My motog is running ridiculously slow and I have very little on it. I assume it is probably the new android update.

Any ideas for good comps based on Premier League (not thanks Iago/AJ, not that one ) Basically group of around 30 here in offices who do last man standing, pontoon, etc for 5 or 10 quid and we are looking for a different competition this time. Something where you have to pick a team or goal scorer each week, that kind of thing.

What is it looking like costing? was going to get the 1+1 but might just stump up for this.

I'll take an invite if there is one going and the phone is less than 400 quid!

Maybe liven LMS up a bit.
We play it with lives (3 lives, lose 2 for a defeat, 1 for a draw) so that it lasts a bit longer than the standard game and has a wee bit more tictacs.
Or you could reverse the concept, must pick a loser rather than a winner as going Chelsea, Arsenal, ManCity in order every time gets boring.

Another mind blower is to hit ctrl shift esc to go directly to task manager instead of the ctrl alt del long way around.

The Last Samurai is one of my favourite films. I like quite like Tom Cruise.

Southpaw is pretty damn disappointing, thought the trailers looked good. Story never engages you at all and it tries way too hard with very forced tearjerky moments.
