I'm definitely in the market for good no brainer films so thank you!

We have one of those for our helpdesk at work. I asked who looks at the feedback forms and what happens to the ones where people were dissatisfied. I got no reply despite chasing several times so I'm presuming they just get ignored...

Slightly related - I've just finished watching Rebus from last May and I felt the same about the Scottish accents in that. Given that most of the actors were Scottish there was just something about the accents that didn't sound quite right... Or perhaps I've been down here too long!

My friend did this to a 4x4 when it blocked a pedestrian crossing in London. She was wearing stilettos at the time and the Grannies standing next to he cheered.

Thought that might be it!

Were you reading about the SKA recently?

Whereabouts? They're fab!

Seen them both here in the UK (inc Bradford & Manchester) and several times in Germany at various industrial festivals. Always a pleasure to see. They recently played a "secret" gig in London - 100 tickets available for a gig in a railway arch obviously! Great show according to friends that went.

Hmm.. thank you for the warning. That's been on my watch list for a long time.

I have been responsible for the use of this word by several Mancs who all agreed it is a very useful word. My work here continues...

Utah Saints and (now retired) Front 242?! Now there is a brilliant collision of my musical tastes!

Thanks for this. I shall have a listen tomorrow!

Some of us haven't even had our summer holiday yet...

Paid ours off in July. The money we save each month is now being thrown at our pensions so currently there is no actual financial benefit. Hopefully there will be one day!

Have you had the confused looks when you ask for a supper in a chippy yet? Made that mistake just after I moved down. Haven't made it again!
