  3. Make her search for them naked, every ten minutes without her finding them you make her do a forfeit.
  4. Boys Don't Cry Absolutley amazing film 9.5/10
  5. I just ordered Butchers Boy by Thomas Perry and Cold Granite by Stuart MacBride. I am currently reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith, which my fiancee has informed me si a girls book. It's good though
  6. Two of the least sympathetic characters in film history - the most annoying lassie I've ever seen on celluloid and a paedophile.
  7. It can't be as I had sex with an albino woman, which as everyone knows cures AIDS.
  8. I am off work with the cold. Why do we get colds in summer?
  9. Does your work often put you in situations whereby you face being poked in the eye by an erect penis?
  10. You might need to walk to and fro to fetch paperclips, armalites or other office equipment, which would be difficult although not impossible.
  11. Why are you off Lyn-Marie? is it: - Your straighteners have broken - You have been curb-stomped - You are awaiting trial for curb stomping - You have bad AIDS - Swampy is keeping you hostage and making you wear the Princess Leia outfit from Jedi - Following cheb-flashing you have been given leave of absence due to all the men in thework being unable to work due to having stauners all day.
  12. If any son of mine used hair straighteners I would do this to him.
  13. I am going to buy the series of books, I can't believe how much I enjoyed the film. My burd didn't like it.
  14. I watched 'The Talented Mr Ripley' on Film4 last night, I thought it was an excellent film. The story concerns the eponymous Mr Ripley (Matt Damon), a struggling piano tuner with a talent for lying and deception, who by accident falls into being paid by a rich New Yorker to go to Southern Italy and persuade the sponsors son Greenleaf (Jude Law) to return to the US. Ripley, having borrowed a Princeton blazer from a friend, slips into the 'role' of an old school friend of the brattish Greenleaf. The old fashioned father pays Ripley $1,000 and he heads to Italy. Once there he ingratiates himself with Greenleaf and slowly begins to become obsessed with his target, developing a strong attraction to him. Greenleaf, on the other hand, flits from friend to friend and begins to tire of the increasingly dependant Ripley. Matters come to a head when Ripley confesses his feelings for Greenleaf on a boat trip but is rebuffed and told he is 'boring'. A fight ensues and Ripley beats Greenleaf to death with an oar. Ripley sinks the boat and disposes of the body before going ashore and assuming Greenleafs identity and lifestyle. using his forgery skills he gains access to Greenleafs allowance and sends communications to hsi fiancee insinuating he is abandoning her. Ripley's deception is discovered by a boorish friend of Greenleafs who Ripley beats to death and thus begins a cat-and-mouse match between him and Italian police as they bid to discover the murderer. Ripley has to balance this with the deception against Greenleafs increasingly heartbroken and suspicious fiancee. Eventually Ripley forges a suicide note, ensuring he is left a portion of Greenleafs inheritence and that the murdered playboy is blamed for the murder. Greenleaf's fiancee, Gwyneth Paltrow, works out that Ripley has killed Greenleaf but her outbursts are dismissed as that of a grieving hysterical woman and she is taken back to the US, a broken figure. The movie ends with Ripley finally finding happiness with a gay friend of Greenleafs on a boat trip to Athens. The happiness is ended when an American girl who knew Ripley as Greenleaf spots him, meaning Ripley has to assume his deception. Realising that his new lover is the only person who will link him to the string of fraud, lies and murder, Ripley kills him, asking him to "tell me some good things about Tom Ripley" before strangling him whlist weeping for his last chnace at happiness. I thought it was superb (not done justice by my babbling summary). Matt Damon played the tragic sociopath very well - although he is a multiple killer, liar, thief and deciever Ripley isn't quite the bad guy in this and his crimes seem to be motivated by a classical tragic desire for love and acceptance. After battering Greenleaf to death we see him cuddling into his corpse as though it was his lover as the boat bobs in water. This is balanced by brutal dishonesty, the way we see his crimes reduce Paltrows character to a wreck, her love taken away and she abandoned. Jude Law is superb in it, he is the perfect character to play an arrogant rich kid.
  15. To be honest, it probably won't work. I had a bath in Pete Doherty's sweat once and didn't inherit any songwriting ability and don't have a supermodel girlfriend. Still, I am now addicted to heroin.
  16. If you let the essence infuse you perhaps soon you will be able to pen boring, earnestly sung 'anthems'.
  17. I got caught in it walking home. Absolute soaked through. The hailstones were setting off car alarms
