I think Jammy should change his user name to Bobby Sands in recognition of his hunger strike.

Hear! Hear!
Problem is he'd probably forget where he started and never get back.
Think we should start a Live Aid Type Event to help Jammy and other students caught out in this and other similar terrible predicaments?
Students - don't you just feel so sorry for them?
I was a student in Stirling, did I leave a traffic cone in your front garden or pish on your geraniums at some point? Sorry if I did.

I am at University and the cafeteria in this building is shut due to exams being held in there as it is a large room. I decided therefore to get something from the vending machines as i am starving. It was then i realised that i have no change on me whatsoever. I need to do an essay so i'm going to be in University for some time today and am faced with the choice of enduring my hunger or walking the 7 minutes to the other building in the freezing cold for food. Then having to walk back again.
Why not look out for a weaker looking student who obviously has a packed lunch and mug them?

Its good that whippersnappers and ankle biters are appreciating good 70s music. B)
Here I wouldn't so much bite your ankels as saw your legs off and suck the ligaments from your joints.

I went to see Pan's Labyrinth on Saturday, it's a fantastic film. It is about a little girl who has to go to live with a Fascist army captain (her step-father) in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. They go from their life in teh city to a creaky old house in the countryside, where amid the battle between hardened Republican guerrillas and El Capitan's Fascist troops the girl enters a magical world of fairies, fauns and magic. She is told she is the reincarnation of a magical princess and must complete three tasks to prove her worth.
The storys of the battle between the Fascists and the Republicans and the girls quests are intertwined and told alongside each other - the contrast between the magical fantasy characters of the girls world and the brutal realities of the Franco dictatorship is brought out but the stories have parallells as well. The girl's struggles in her quests can be seen as metaphors for the Republicans struggles in the 'war'.
All in all, I thought it was a fantastic film, great performances from each area of the cast. Normally child actors are about as appealing to me as smallpox, but the girl is magnificent, never prissy or sentimental. The Fascist captain is magnificent - the whole construction of the character embodied facism, from his costume, to his lines to his performance. Superb.

Taking two days off work to pack the rest of your wife's stuff up to transport to her new flat and finding a shed-load of shit on your desk when you return!
I was going to post that she had a cheek asking you to help her move her stuff away and that if it was me I'd tell her to fucking well do it herself, until I remembered one pertinent reason why she probably couldn't do that

I'm so relieved I don't have a letterbox!! The image is too awful......
If you do get a letterbox, ensure that it is one of those wired tight ones that snaps shut to deter those internet stalkers who have a disposition for postal onanism.

Casualty is hilarious.
Tbh, the most accurate medical drama on the tv is Green Wing, which is vaguely disturbing.
And no real-life doctors are as attractive as those in most medical dramas (esp. Grey's Anatomy)
Being medically trained, are you able to identify which patient will die in Casualty before us mere mortals? Is that part of your training and if not, why not?

I'm not going to click on that site at work but is the crux of the 'conspiracy' theory that Hamilton was a Mason and used his Masonic connections to ensure he kept his gun licence, despite the fact that he was a renowned nutcase? One of the connections I have heard rumoured is an ex-Labour government minister. Some of the documents presented to the inquiry into the incident were withheld for 100 years or something which caused further rumour. I think that these have since been released and contain nothing controversial.

Playboy is tacky, end of story!
It has very interesting articles, as I told my girlfriend when she opened that unmarked package the other week.

Training Day on FilmFlex last night, very good film. Denzel Washington is superb in it.

Talking of which, seen a wee clip of the follow up 28 Weeks Later which looks good.
Didn't know such a thing was being planned. Is it being down by the same people or is it a pishy Hollywood cash-in?

saltyTon, do you not get bored of watching horror movies? I mean I like pizza but if I watched one pizza on DVD a day for a month I'd get pretty bored with it! Same with you eating your stuffed crust horror movies I'd bet.

My parents gave me Gary Imlach's book 'My Father and other Working Class Heroes' for my birthday, it's excellent. I didn't realise he was from Lossiemouth, three members of his youth side became professional footballers. No pro's have come out of Lossie since then.
I just finished the chapter on the 1958 world cup, what an absolute shambles it sounds. They make today's SFA 'beaks' look the epitome of good organisation and competence
The whole book shows how different things were for playersw then - they were basically serfs. They could be frozen out by their club with no pay and not allowed to leave and have their houses taken from them, they had a maximum wage which clubs skimmed off at every opportunity. Basically they were treated like shite.0 -
Watched Goodfella's last night, my girlfriend had never seen it. I could probably recite it but it was good to watch it with someone who hadn't. A truly fantastic film. I usually watch it witha few beers so it was good to watch sober and appreciate the whole construction of the film. Who won Best Director in 1990?
I bought A History of Violence on DVD and watched it theother night as well. It's another cracking film, the cinematography (sp) is fantastic, it's a beautfully shot film. I am no expert on it all but it also seems the violence is more visceral than in other films I've seen, especially the scene in the coffee shop. It's very realistic and sends shivers through you (or through me at least) which is strange as violence is so common in films today.
I also bought the graphic novel that the film is based on, it's interesting how Cronenberg changed it. The focus of the novel is really the narrative but Cronenberg focuses on the ideas of identity - Tom or Joey - and the effect on the Stall family of violence intruding into their lives. It makes for a much more interesting package I think. The ending is still a bit fucking daft though.

Getting pains in my chest,it feels like there is something heavy on my chest.
I'd get to the doctors, heavy crushing pain is a bit of a 'red flag' I think.
