  1. Submarine - 9/10 Really brilliant. It had me laughing in all the right places, the poignant scenes were done really well and the ending (whilst cliched) was done tongue in cheek as was the rest of the film and the icing on the cake was the superb soundtrack provided by Alex Turner. The clincher was the excellent acoustic version of Piledriver Waltz as the credits rolled as it's one of my favourite songs. I even identified with a lot of it, which probably meant I was a little weirdo in school as well.
  2. Any tips once you hand over a CV to a potential employer? I've handed a few CV's in around Dundee and I'm thinking of going back and enquiring into them. I don't know what to say apart from 'did you get my CV?'
  3. Kimberley Wyatt from the Pussycat Dolls was scheduled to play but I've been told she's pulled out. She's been replaced by a DJ set from Pendulum though.
  4. A girl I know believed me when I told her New York was nicknamed the Big Apple because that's where the Apple headquarters were...
  5. I see Tyler, The Creator from Odd Future has been nominated for a VMA. Seems like a pretty bizarre choice since he pledged to murder one of his competitors - Bruno Mars - in the nominated video.
  6. I just noticed in the Rangers vs Celtic forum that there's no fast reply option. I can only imagine how many new members from each side were unable to work out how to post a reply and subsequently quit the site.
  7. Nothing on Facebook will ever get as many likes as a status about a passed driving test. I've yet to see one that has had under 40 likes.
  8. I find it's a good way to cut a conversation short. I wouldn't use it normally though.
  9. Crookers are a good italo-disco act that have been around for a few years. I prefer a lot of these continental acts to English speaking nations, however, it's not a genre I've really delved into too much. Two choice cuts off Tons of Friends.
  10. If you go to Account Management on your dashboard then go to Change Windows Live ID, you can do it easily. If that's what you mean by changing login details.
  11. She's by far the funniest woman I've seen on a panel show.
  12. Is there anywhere on the net you can get cheap football strips from last season or before, preferably one that would stock either a Palermo home kit from 2010 or Valencia's away strip, the orange one.
  13. I just saw a guy at the shops wearing a Rangers top with Totti on the back. Now unless I've missed the biggest transfer coup of the summer, I don't understand why he has it.
  14. Currently making a fry up since I slept late and have bugger all else to do.

    South Park

    Really enjoyed this one, there has been a few misses in the series so far but when they get it right it is still fantastic.
  16. Had The Horrors last night and was a pretty good gig. Was slightly disappointed that they only played 4-5 tracks off Primary Colours and nothing off Strange House but then all the new songs do sound really promising whilst Sea Within A Sea and Who Can Say (my favourite tracks) were given an airing! I can't wait to hear Skying now. I'll more than likely go back in October I think to see them in Edinburgh.
  17. Could someone recommend a good place to drink near the Oran Mor in Glasgow, I'm going to see The Horrors tomorrow and would fancy going somewhere to have a couple of relatively cheap drinks beforehand.
  18. Have you bought it yet? 'Cause Carphone Warehouse are selling unlocked ones for between 120 and 150 pounds.
  19. RTD's overall story arc was essentially several unrelated episodes linked together by hastily scribbling 'BAD WOLF' all over the screen at some point in each episode. I really enjoyed the finale and how can an episode entitled 'Let's Kill Hitler' be anything but ridiculous but good?
  20. I stayed in the Hub. It's more expensive than normal halls but is a much better standard.
  21. Results back today, a B3 for Globalization and two B1's for Political Theory and History. Pleased with my results as I really lacked focus and effort in every subject, hopefully I'll have the drive to do better next year.
