[BabyHawk]

Can anyone advise me here? I have an avi file which is a chinese film, within the same folder I have english subtitles, how do i go about adding the subtitles so when I watch the film the subs are on the screen?

Happy Birthday Michelle!

To watch it on tv you mean? i dont think theres any way you can hard burn subtitles as an average punter.
You dont have to do anything but play the file to watch it on your laptop im sure your aware of. To do this download VLC player and just play the file on your laptop and the subs will appear automatically.

It's not easy being Martin Johnson

Johnson criticised for squad picks

Monday, 20 June 2011 18:26
Martin Johnson's controversial decision to name a multi-national World Cup training squad was criticised today by one of the biggest casualties of the policy.

Luke Narraway captained England against the Barbarians at Twickenham less than a month ago but could not break into a 45-man party that contained 13 overseas-born players.

Narraway missed out to Leicester's New Zealand-born number eight Thomas Waldrom, who discovered he was eligible for England midway through the season.

The Gloucester skipper, who has been in prime form this season, took to Twitter to vent his frustrations at being overlooked for Waldrom.

Narraway posted: 'Good luck to Thomas the tank and his English nan. #notbittermuch.'

The England squad Johnson named today features players born in nine different countries.

Waldrom is joined in the England squad by three other New Zealand-born players in Dylan Hartley, Shontayne Hape and Riki Flutey.

Saracens lock Mouritz Botha joins fellow South Africans Hendre Fourie and Matt Stevens, who has returned to the senior England squad after serving a two-year drugs ban.

Johnson defended his decision and insisted the only message it sent to young English players was the need to continually strive for improvement.

Uncapped Gloucester wing Charlie Sharples, Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw and Saracens scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth have all been rewarded for impressive seasons.

'There are a lot of good players coming through the academies,' said Johnson.

'If you want to play for England, play well in the Premiership and be good enough to come in here because it is a competitive place.

'Those two guys (Waldrom and Botha) come in for the first time and, it's the same for Charlie Sharples, you have to establish yourself in this group.

'The other members of the team need to understand you are there to work hard, fit in and contribute.

'I have seen guys born abroad who have done that and guys born in England do that - and the same who haven't done it.

'They are in the same place as everyone else. You show your commitment to the cause every day, in how you train, how you play, who you are.

'They are in with a shot and deserve their chance.'

Ridiculous to criticise him over it, if we were in a similar position, we'd pick every All Black, Samoan and Tongan that had a grandparent that even visited Ireland. Its down to the IRFU to change and enforce the rules, not Martin Johnson.

He's perfectly entitled to pick the best possible team, and even though plenty of those guys wouldn't cut it at an Irish province, they're the guys holding their hands up.

[BobSloane]

and he says ah ya your the blonde one , i know you , you fucked one of my friends out of it at a cash table one night , your nuts lol

Was reading too fast. Had to do a double take on this line. Happy birthday

[Zod]

To my surprise she asked me to come in for a second, more in depth interview tomorrow. Me being the skeptic due to reading some of your posts last night though thought I was 1 of the many many people to get called back for this 2nd interview, I asked her what percentage of people get called back for it. She said 5% or so.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iF47M3YDlg&feature=player_detailpage#t=155s

That kind of gave me hope that this was a real job I suppose. I also asked her how many people a day got interviewed and she said around 20.

[Solskjaer]

some guy trying to get the nuts off at Satnavs ?

[Angry-Ball]

he couldnt take the wheel off as there is a 5th nut on a BMW and there is some extra connection yoke to go on that and i dont have it

so its still flat !

He is not gonna murder me, dont be silly

deffo gonna murder you BTW
the "yoke" that you need is in the toolkit for changing the wheel any lad worth his salt would know this. so this begs the question "why is he letting on that he can't open the weel studs?"

at the very least you can expect to be woken in the middle of the night while he is riding the hole of ya.

not a hope i would be going to sleep in that house to night if i were you, i would have the carving knife close by just in case

[6starpool]

For the subtitles, just make sure the filename is the same as the main avi file, but with a .srt extension. Then provided the subs are the same timing as that avi file, it should appear when it's meant to.

[Zod]

RIP Satnav, she wasnt a bad skin.

he's going to walk from Mountmellick to Athy wearing her head as a hat.

[tylerdurden94]

we don't know if he was driving yet, do we?

From the stuff I have read he was driving his Porsche.

Can anyone advise me here? I have an avi file which is a chinese film, within the same folder I have english subtitles, how do i go about adding the subtitles so when I watch the film the subs are on the screen?

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Just make sure the .avi file is the same name as the .srt file download VLC media player as it is probably the best player out there and you can then select to play the subtitles along with the video.

[Loopz]

sounds like a story from a cheesy porn.

this coming from your username only makes it 2000% better

Happy Birthday Michelle

+1 happy birthday

For me it would certainly want to pick up a little bit, was ok but not great.

Let us know what you think, haven't decided if I will go see it in the cinema or download it.

I watched the extended cut of The Town last night I advise any of you who have the opportunity to do so please don't its fucking terrible

I enjoyed it when I went to see it in the cinema so haven't seen it since so said I would watch it last night, there is like 25 minutes extra footage but it just made the film feel a little weird/disjointed and they were right to cut them out for the cinema release.

Gonna watch something tonight but can't decide between Choke or LA Confidential?

[ionapaul]

Are we allowed to discuss the GOT now without spoilers? Now that the damn series is over?

I just finished watching the 2nd to last episode there, and I have to say, the final scene in it was actually better than in the novel - the medium of TV really suited the tugging of heart-strings like that!

Plus, even though George R.R. Martin is quite strong in terms of narrative (in a fairly derivative setting, it must be said), he is an otherwise mediocre writer so it is more than possible that TV can improve on his work.

LA Confidential is one of my favourite movies of all time. It's as stylish as they come. Highly recommended.

Choke is a half decent watch, nothing more.

I doubt this soon seeing as it only aired last night give people time to catch up so spoiler it for a bit would be my guess.

LA Confidential it is so first reply was what I was going to watch. Had downloaded a DVD copy awhile back but the quality was a little bad and just recently got it on bluray.

Have seen it before but a long long time ago and don't remember it so well, I enjoyed Choke but haven't seen it since the cinema, kinda wanna watch it as Brita from Community gets them out

I want to throw a surprise party for a friend of mine, which hopefully will just involve getting our mates to a pub at a certain time on July 9th and getting him there shortly after.

There will probably be about twenty/twenty-five of us. Does anyone know a decent pub in Dublin city centre that would let me reserve a section (and if they want to supply some finger food even better)?
Dicey's is the only suggestion I've come up with so far.

Watched Pumping Iron after seeing a few people post about it yesterday, it was great and Arnie was something else in it. Watched the making of it afterwards, it was a let down.

SPOILER

A lot of it was scripted

[Lao Lao]

how would one woman go about raping another woman in a toilet?

With a toilet brush

I can only assume that you are talking about the German movie Der Freie Wille?

Every year, the Dublin Film Festival hits here in February and I always get to about 10-15 films within the tens days that it runs for.

Back in 2008, I decided to take a girl I had just started seeing to one of the films. We'd hooked up a few times at mates parties and mutual nights out and I'd known her for quite some time before but this was due to be our first date.

Due to a few different things, both our schedules during the time the festival was on was pretty packed so it was very much a case of finding a time that we were both free and booking whatever film was playing at that time, the quality that the film festival produces year on year was second to none, so you couldn't go wrong, right?...Eh major wrong

As we settled into the Screen cinema, bag of popcorn and large drink in tow, she whispers to me, wondering what the films is about. 'Not too sure' says I, 'It's a German movie, should be good...'

The movie starts with the most brutal rape scene ever made, lasting about 5-6 minutes if I remember correctly and is followed up by another two, one of which is a woman raping another woman with a toilet brush.

I have never heard so many winces from the audience in a cinema in my life and I have never felt so uncomfortable for all 3 HOURS of the film.

The conversation over lunch after the film was eh..interesting...and I'm pretty sure that I set a Guinness Record for the most apologies ever spoken in a 60 minute period



TLDR

Cliffs - Don't take a girl who you fancy the arse off to the most graphic and disturbing rape movie ever made on your first official date
