Channel 4 need to up their game with their various players.

The 4od “app” on the ps3 is hopeless compared to the iPlayer and lovefilm

american style with maple syrup and banana

Got one of these electric griddle things last week, which is fantastic for cooking american style pancakes – means you can cook three at a time which stops the kids getting too restless. Next it’s going to get tested making a massive fry up. And bargain cheap as well

I though it was ace – baffled as to what STR thought was wrong with it

It was a bit like a modern retelling of “the monkeys paw”

Manhunter is good , but Silence of the Lambs is superb

So much of it was imitated by subsequent films its easy to dismiss it now as cliched – but it was all fresh at the time. It’s such a “tight” film

The rest are all awful though

The BBC Hitchcock film on over Christmas was pretty good – was a pretty unflattering view of Hitchcock

That was a good episode – I can see it being spun out into a movie

Odd that no one in Hollywood has optioned the “prime minister makes sweet love to a pig” episode

My LRS has a very nice website and does mail order

Resident records[/url]

I once heard JB’s voice described as “like a fire in a pet shop”

“Inception” should have been called “exposition” – any film where the main character has to spend an age telling Juno what the film is about has failed IMO

it looks great – but compare it to Blade Runner or 2001. No one is required to spend endless minutes of screen explaining how the film works to you, and they are all the better for it

My girlfriend recently got a topeak race rocket hp. It’s fantastic – hose connector thing to avoid broken valves. Screws on to prestas, so no leaks. Converts from presta to schraeder with a simple twist. I’m going to get one, loads better than my current Blackburn mini pump which I thought was good

Evernote is good too – but more complex as it involves photos etc

Simplenote is text based only – I prefer it for the simplicity over Evernote

Can’t speak for the notes app, but I use simplenote on my phone, and notational velocity on my mac for cloud based note taking.

They sync together perfectly

I have a very small leyzene one where I keep a tube, co2, multi tool, patches and spare chain links.

I very rarely even have to open it

In my jersey pocket I have another tube, tyre lever, a co2 and co2 inflator head thing held together in a rubber band. This is what I grab when I get a puncture

Food, keys, phone, gilet/ waterproof go in jersey pockets also

Mini pump on the frame

I had a SNES

Mario
Mario Kart
Zelda
SF2
Many happy hours playing Pilotwings

Gutted when I moved house – got it out the loft , borked!

A sound bar would seem to be your best option

Yep it’s amazing

The sequel “the two jakes” is pretty lame I seem to remember

70s Nicholson films are so good

The last detail
Cuckoos nest
5 easy pieces
The shining

I scored high on everything 🙂

still suprised how many I got wrong – I found the musical “genre” bit a bit odd, none of it sounded like rap to me, and the pop bits sounded like cod reggae

Anyone considerd that the “stalker” is another very pissed off ex customer.

I have 120mm 15mm bolt through SIDS on mine now. Very happy with them

Igrf – you were coming across pretty terribly , now you’re a homophobe too

Unpleasant

. If you really want the original theatrical releases you’ll no doubt pay a large amount of money (a quick google would suggest the 2008 DVD with old and new versions on is going for three-figure prices)

“Only” £45 on amazon marketplace

Lucas directed Anerican Grafiti, he had co-writers who I suspect were responsible for most of the dialogue

My supervisor when I was a student selling double glazing on the phone

“What’s that word, you know, for all the words that someone knows?”

One poor lass in our company actually asked the whole office if Dinosaurs were actually real !

have to post this

In a purely intellectual way of course, Brian Cox. With Robin Ince, Dara O’Brein, Sir Ranulph, Victoria Wood & Sandy Toksvig. With Keely Hawes sitting opposite, as I hear she has a quiet voice and I would hate to miss her bon mots.
EDIT: damn too slow on the Cox!

I’ve had a few pints with Robin Ince (back in the 90s, mutual friend). He is a nice bloke and the same in real life as on stage/ the radio

My new ” easy” comfort favourite

Chilli fries

Cook skinny oven chips – then transfer to an oven proof dish and smother with a can of chilli and grated cheese. Return to the oven till its all delicious

Amazon marketplace is the place for used DVDs. Much cheapness!

It’s amazing – gunfights are some of the best ever. Seemed to be almost raining blood at one point!

Very funny too. It’s his best film since Jackie Brown

My (very modest) Cambridge audio amp (blue LEDs) has a bypass button so you can take the tone controls out the circuit

I use it – but I’m not sure I can actually perceive any difference

Yep – dawn ride this morning (best time as the ground has had all night to freeze up)

Planning another tomorrow

hot porridge poured over the banana in the bowel so it warms it up
Why not put the bananas in while cooking?

I’ll try it! – might be too mushy

He has a history of being caught watching pron on his computer

You missed out “being caught ” – makes all the difference in the world

Honey and banana – hot porridge poured over the banana in the bowel so it warms it up

1/2 cup oats, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup water.

Splash of cold milk at the end to loosen it up

Exactly what Boba Fett says, you can’t beat a Jazzmaster without the tone circuit. Tone circuits are the biggest load of cock to infect electric guitars since the original Jaguar bridge

don’t agree. I’m always tweaking my tone knobs 🙂

got tickets booked for “Django Unchained” on Friday eve

I was a huge Tarantino fan in the nineties, but since Jackie Brown there is no doubt quality has suffered

Kill Bill was OK ish (bit would have been better as 1 film)
Death Proof was a misfire
Inglorious Basterds was an improvement – with some amazing scenes, but patchy

I’m feeling optimistic about Django. Fingers crossed

I’m also keen to see Zero Dark Thirty

They are lovely- think I paid about £30 for mine though.

No issues with geometry – if you run a 100mm fork the handling is super fast and perfect for XC

Yes it’s a bit heavier than a carbon frame – so I guess it depends how important weight is to you and how light your other components are.

What? Makes no sense – the diagrams don’t show you the cranks or where they are when “locked”

Agreed – people have the right to have any hobby they like , no matter how geeky. But for me if I started worrying about this stuff it would kill music for me

I saw John Shuttleworth last month – very funny

I’ve got Calexico, Dutch Uncles and Caitlin Rose lined up for February

Need to book a few more for the rest of the year really!
