Vicky Coren's show 'Only Connect' on BBC4 is strange. She is funny, but her humour doesn't quite fit with the show. Interesting though.

She's getting better as the show goes on. I like it.

I like the quiz. I'm a little ambivalent about Vicky but her book has been recommended to me on the BBV as being worth a read.....

It's interesting that she tilts you so much.

[V for Vendetta]

Yep, watched a few of them at this stage and maybe it was just settling in nerves.

Really interesting game show concept - not surprised its on BBC4 though! By contrast, Noel Edmonds is apparently developing this show for Sky One

They should show it on BBC2 right after University challenge and followed by Masterchef* I reckon. The links wall is great fun.



*Moving masterchef to BBC1 has been a disaster for me. I've only seen parts of two episodes this season so far....

Shes an ignorant fuck, i was seconds away from telling her to choke on her soup in manchester, i calmed it down tho. Some old dude at the table called her a pre madonna and she went off on one.

I love her voice (once she's not commentating on poker). I used to have naughty thoughts about her and Jennifer Tilly reading me bedtime stories :-)

Weird question: Who would own/control the area in front of Connolly Station where the Luas stop is. I'm guessing Irish Rail?

Doesn't really help much considering none of them links tell you. I found out myself tho it's 13.

And maloney you fail. Cole has scored 9 goals against them. Shearer is 2nd with 8 in the premiership. Noone has scored more than that according to google records.

Actually how many of the 13 were in the league. 7?

If so then your statistic is wrong.

I rate films greatness in terms of how much I enjoy them, films I don't think were 100% accurate but really liked

Platoon
Bridge over the river Kwai
Battle of the Bulge (still fighting this one)
Full metal jacket

Hollywood is not about incisive realism (in general) it's about a fecking good night out at the flicks, for me Hurt Locker was just that . There are many movie buffs who will watch superbly acted/scripted realistic cutting edge films that never make it to the mainstream cinemas due to the lack of discernment of the general movie going populace. So the Hollywood boffins have to make a film that appeals to these guys (for monetary reasons), the Oscars are really a celebration of the best of the mainstream movies. They don't actually make a secret of this fact. SO is Hurt Locker great? For what it is, I think it's a great movie, tension filled and somewhat provocative. Were there better movies out last year. Most definitely but you won't see them in Movies At Dundrum .

IMO.

I'd agree with this to a certain extent, but Lloyd was saying the the hurt locker was just as realistic as generation kill, which I didn't agree with.

Ive never seen Bridge over the river Kwai or Battle of the Bulge. I love good war movies, should I check them out?

[Lord Sir Banter]

Is it confirmed Carra or not?

[Emmet]

yup, its Carragher, 13 own goals. Nobody's scored more against Liverpool...

[Lord Sir Banter]

jaysus.
13 in the Premier League or overall?

I think everyone should watch them, they are a bit dated but I love the old war movies from that time. The Alec Guinness era. Some others, The Eagle has landed, Battle of Britain. Won't give you a feel for anything except some jolly good old Engerlish stiff upper lip acting etc

Had to sue this sorry

Waterford and Cork people come together to fight the infidel cartoonists (one of the more bizarre stories this year so far)

http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0309/waterford.html

Arrests in Cork and Waterford over murder plot
Tuesday, 9 March 2010 14:25

Gardaí have arrested five people in Waterford and two others in Cork in connection with an investigation into a conspiracy to murder a Swedish cartoonist.

The cartoonist, Lars Vilks, has been threatened over his drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.

The head of an al Qaeda-led group in Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, posted an audio tape on the internet in September, 2007, offering $100,000 for the killing of Mr Vilks.

This morning, detectives arrested three men and two women in Waterford and Tramore and another man and woman at Ballincollig, near Cork city. A number of searches also took place.

A garda spokesman said the operation was part of an investigation into a conspiracy to murder an individual in another jurisdiction.

Members of the Garda National Support Services and the Special Detective Unit were also involved in this morning's operation.

Gardaí say they are working closely with police forces in a number of other European countries and in the US.

The seven people arrested this morning range in age from their mid-20s to their late-40s.

They are being questioned at garda stations in Waterford, Tramore, Dungarvan and Thomastown.

All are being detained under section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, which allows for them to be held for up to a week.

Those in custody are originally from Morocco and Yemen, but it is understood they all have refugee status and are legally in the country.

I like the show and she does a competent job as a presenter, I played with her in the Vic once and she came across as very nice and not at all a Prima donna

SPOILER

See how I managed to restrain myself from making any quips about her being younger than Madge or the likes.

On the reality of war in Iraq, there's an awesome thread at the moment in EDF on active duty in Iraq and the Marines. The OP comes across as a really smart and intelligent guy, and it's a super read.

A great read this made me feel much better about my 40+ buy-in downswing last month.

Maybe you could start smoking mother****ers who have the audacity to bad-beat you at the tables.

Bullets flying is child's play compared to a 30 buy-in downswing and it's not close. The thing is, when said bullets are flying there really isn't any time to think or to doubt yourself or wonder what's happening. You know what to do, there's orders and objectives, there's all your protective gear and prior training, and when it's done it's done. A 30 buy-in downswing can make it feel like your whole world is crumbling around you. It's worse by far.

I like her, have met her a couple of times and she can be on the edge and about to go off on one alright but if you get chatting to here she is really nice.

Everytime I look at her I just keep wondering about that artsy porn movie though.

One thing - please keep it personal experience-related, stuff that would impact "you" if you were to go in, or what it's like in real life or whatnot... basically please don't ask me whether I believe we should have been there, or anything political. Thanks in advance.

The problem with this and the bullshit that is permeating discourse in America now is the same as the huge problem with the Hurt Locker.
They seem to have decided to say ' Lets just every pretend as if this wasn't an illegal and utterly immoral war that was run solely for the benefit of a few corporations '.
Wel fck that they need to be made account for it and they can stick their gung ho bullshit right up their arses.
