Do you realise how long counting to 1 million will take? However I admire your (collective) spunk so I think it's about time this was pinned.

Smog - Vessel in Vain. From the Dead Man's Shoes soundtrack (inspired from the thread earlier).

Anyway, sorry for that little window into my more youthful days, back on topic... Gogol Bordello vs. Tamir Muskat: "Panic so charming (what the f**k style)".

It's been a few years since I've done that, but normally gauged by the shouting and speed of thumps emanating from behind the wall. I've had a friend walk in while I've been 'on the nest' as it were, looking for skins. He's trying to hold a conversation with me while I am otherwise engaged in thinking other far more furtive thoughts. It wasn't until I stopped looked up at him and told him to f**k off that he noticed (how he didn't at first I don't know). He stopped and stared unsure what to do or say. My then girlfriend, who was a complete star btw, pushed me back lifting the sheet at the time to show her (rather nice, I have to say) breasts and said, "there you go, if you want something to look at, now f**k off!" Needless to say his embarrassment broke the spell and he hurriedly shuffled away. I did hear him stopping others coming into our room a couple of hours later too ..

Off topic, but see if I hear that, I wait until it gets to the vinegar strokes then bang on the wall shouting "stop making so much fucking noise". With some luck it'll really f**k up their perfect moment!

DJ Tiesto - 'Adagio for Strings' Possibly one of the finest trance tracks ever..

There are two main ways to do this. One of them is from a post they have made. When you view a post it's made up of the content on the right, and the user's details on the left (posts, joined, etc). At the top of those details is the username of the poster. Left clicking on that username should provide you with a drop down menu which has "Send Message" as one of the options. Selecting that option will set up a PM to that user. If you can't find a post by the user you wish to contact then you will need to find them through the Members Page. To do that, look at the top right of this page and you should see a list of links; Blogs, Calendar, Members, Search, Help. Clicking "Members" will bring you to a search page. In the "Search and Filter Options" section enter the start of the username for the user you are looking for (for example, if the user is called Fred Jones, you can get away with just entering "Fred"). Once you click "Go" the list of matching names will be shown. Again each username when left clicked once will display the drop down menu, allowing you to select "Send Message". Hopefully that helps, if not you can read more about PMs here: http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.ph...DE=01&HID=6

St.Mirren, as the owner of the site and it's superior moderator both support them. No better reason than to curry favour with us..

At this very moment the Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan "Sunday at Devil Dirt" has just finished playing.

Consider them merged.

Disconnected from The Creatures (off the 'Anima Animus' album) Siouxsie

The new PJ Harvey album. Much more mellow than her last couple.

I haven't watched it, but one thing bugs me about it (and is also the reason I haven't watched it yet). Snakes are cold blooded reptiles, right? Snakes need heat before they can do anything, right? So why not turn off all the heating and let the plane temperature drop to below zero. While all the passengers are sitting wrapped up in blankets sipping cocoa, the snakes will be freezing their, er, scales off, unable to move. However I believe one comment about the film was... "Snakes on a plane? Pffft! They should try a wasp on a bus!"

For fucksake Carlos, what was the fucking point of telling us that? I hate Rocky films but might have had a look at this to see how much cop it is. No fucking point now is there?

13 (Tzameti) Odd film, I picked it up in Fopp for £8 in the World Cinema section. (on a side note here, Fopp is pretty good with their World Cinema stuff as while it isn't a large selection, it tends to have some real gems hidden in there). From IMDB: Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. It's all shot in B&W and is in French (with subtitles) and has a nice grainy feel about it. I don't want to give away too much about it, but I certainly enjoyed the film. 8/10 - well worth the watch.

I would be happy for Uma to offer me relief, light or otherwise..

Reading up a few posts... Shawshank Redemption - it's one of those films that you either totally love and consider the best thing since a blow job in the morning or are utterly unmoved by it. I fall into the latter category. While Freeman and Robbins play excellent parts the director, who's name escapes (ha!) me at the mo, fails to create a character than I can relate to and because of that, I just couldn't care less if anyone leaves that prison. 7 maybe 8/10 but nowhere near the 10/10 that some give it. Aristocrats - dreadful. Not only is the joke not funny the majority of the people telling it were American who (in general mainstream comedy) seem to lack any real dark humour relating to the build up. Some people deliver the joke as if they were telling a story and lacking in emphasis. As for the subject matter, I know it's intended to try and shock but with the advent of the Internet the acts that some comedians were trying to convey are as meek and timid as a Sunday night in with the WRVI. The only laugh the whole film gave me was the woman who told it as a clean joke but then changed the name of the act to something utterly filthy. 2/10

Flushed Away. Not a dreadful film but with the number of CGI flicks out there it's always going to be difficult to keep pushing the boundaries. It revolves around a pet rat that is flushed away down to the sewers where he stumbles upon a whole mini London. Cue love interest, questionable plot line and fairly poor dialogue - but then again when was that necessary in a cartoon? The animation is done pretty well, and the whole thing hangs together well enough even I failed to see a single character that wasn't "borrowed" from somewhere else. Safe enough movie for kids, and if you have a spare evening with a bottle of wine, it's not a bad diversion. I will warn you, it does have an England v Germany World Cup final as part of the plot! Marks? Hmm... a generous 7/10, perhaps less. I think it all depends on the audience.

Easy, 24! Ah, it's nice to be in my early twenties again... Thanks for the "thanks", lads. Although my birthday has consisted of receiving one piece of mail (a misdirected letter) and spending over an hour on the phone to British Gas (c*nts! )

Happy Fucking Birthday Me! Ok, so I'm an hour early but who cares....
