Sorry if this has already been done, but I don't come in here often...

 

Just had a look at the video Anne posted of the goat yelling like a man, and found

off to the side of it. Poor bastard.

Kirsty Duffy - the current cute northern girl on FIVE's The Wright Stuff.

She looks the type to get absolutely blind drunk on white wine, puke up in a cab, then take it up the shitter from a complete stranger for a couple of hours. My kind of gal.

Sport and politics don't mix.

 

Leicester defender Wayne Brown has been forced into making a grovelling apology - after voting BNP at the General Election.

 

Brown was suspended by the Foxes for their play-off games with Cardiff following a stormy row with team-mate Lloyd Dyer and coach Chris Powell.

 

The 32-year-old revealed he had voted for BNP last week and was involved in a heated clash with Dyer after training.

 

And former England international Powell also confronted Brown before team-mates pulled them apart.

 

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson took swift action by suspending the centre-half for the two legs against the Bluebirds.

 

And Brown was hauled in for a meeting after Wednesday

I'm sure I read something years ago about stations like these being used by governments to transmit mesages to "sleeper" agents.

I bought the Penthouse she was in. I recall a distinct lack of muff :-(

And tits too. I would imagine.

The room had a perception filter on it. It was also mentioned in the story with The Master in. It's basically a less funny version of the Somebody Else's Problem field from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, where your brain blocks out anything within this field. It's not invisible, it's just that it demands absolutely none of your attention.

Wasn't it also in Torchwood?

You're talking about the number of times he used a closed fist around the one minute mark, aren't you?

Ultimately, the important factor is not life on other planets - most scientists are in agreement that it's statistically a certainty.

 

I think the other life debate shows the arrogance of man in a massive way. Of the 1,150,000 generally agreed life forms on earth (excluding pant and vegitation) we are 1. There is therefore only a microscopic chance of finding humanoid life on earth, we are obviously a statistical anomaly. If you take an evolutionary view point we should be looking for arthropods which is the most common life form.

 

But then could NASA justify spending billions looking for spiders on other planets.

Fuck me pal, have you not seen some of the spiders on this planet, posted on this very message board??? We categorically do not need to be looking for ET arachnids!

Who is Will?

 

And why isn't his mother on my lounge floor crawling towards me, licking her lips?

Her top bollocks are somewhat compelling.

Anybody have a copy of Hogan's nWo theme? It's a Jimi Hendrix song, and it contains various nWo related soundbytes. Thanks.

Isn't it just "Voodoo Chile"?

It's "Voodoo Child", can't blame you though, sometimes when you're just listening to music it's hard to tell exactly what their saying.

It means voodoo child, but the song is actually entitled "Voodoo Chile", from the album Electric Ladyland.

 

Also, sorry I didn't read the questio properly - no idea about the soundbytes.

Ignoring the creepiness, if you went in there without knowing the whole thing is essentially a love story, with only a bit of action and quite a heavy re-working of the vampire legends (which I think was an incredibly bold idea by the original author, which does come off quite nicely), then I'm not surprised you were disappointed. The novels are, apparently, simply amazingand the film is meant to only capture a little bit of that (for example, the final sequence of events lasts two weeks in the novels, with a huge amount of detail devoted to them, but takes only about 25 minutes of the film, tops).

 

I haven't read the novels myself (though I probably am going to), but even though I did quite enjoy the film for what it is, even I could tell they hadn't quite got it right. And Robert Pattison has an incredibly odd-shaped face for someone who is meant to be a literary heart-throb. Oh, and don't let your daughter read the novels yet, Jonathon - they're quite sexually charged, apparently, and if you're worried about her after the film...

 

(Sorry for dragging this so far off topic...)

She's already read the books. She got the first one from a friend at school, and bought the others late last year. It's absolutely all her and her school friends talk about.

 

Mind you, good thing from the film is that it introduced me to the band Iron and Wine, which I'm loving at tne mo.

Yep. I took my 13 yr old daughter to see it over Xmas (I swear to God she was having teenage stirring in her loins through most of it...thought I'd have to wait for the lights to come on at the end and peel her off the seat!). Never seen such a steaming pile of tosh in my whole life. Some stupid teenage girl moves to a new town and falls in love with this guy at school...who happens to be a vampire. And he doesn't kill her! Where's the fun in that??

 

 

...

What he said. One of the most disturbing posts I've ever read

I know how you feel. I had to sit next to her squirming in her seat throughout. The thought that after the next couple of years my baby girl will probably be sexually active is a bit much to deal with...

Apparantly it's sparklepire, not fire, and is a reference to vampires which sparkle in Twilight, the show featuring Robert Parttinson. I presume that's the show hardcore Dr Who fans watch instead now the BBC have made it all commercial or some such.

 

OTP is apparantly One True Pairing which is where the type of people who do fan fiction get all obsessed about a relationship between two characters.

 

Isn't Twilight a film & not a show?

Any idea when we'll be seeing Shawn Michaels again?

I have no-one to show (well, I had, Mel Coles from East Midlands Today, but all the pics of her I can find make her look like Simon Weston), but this thread seems to be straying from the "less commercial or conventional", seeing as people are posting porn stars.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong bush here, but if Fragile X is an inherited form of mental retardation, which side of the family did he inherit it from? If it was from Benoit's, is there not a possibility that Benoit may have been mentally retarded also?

Not likely. It is slightly possible, as Fragile X is not especially well-diagnosed, especially not 40 years ago. But inheritance is not so concrete that it happens like that anyway. How many kids with Down's Syndrome do you know who have a parent with Down's as well? Generally I think it's one of those things where both parents have to carry the gene and even then it's not going to be every kid of theirs that has the syndrome.

Fragile X syndrome is a sex-related chromosomal abnormality, on a recessive gene. In this case, the abnormal chromosome must have been inherited from Nancy (quick genetics guide - sex chromosomes determine the gender of a person, XX for a girl, XY for a boy, one inherited from each parent).For arguments sake, lets say that the dominant (i.e. "normal") gene is FX and the abnormal gene is Fx. A healthy mother would have the genotype FX FX, and a healthy father FX Y. For Daniel to have Fragile X syndrome, Nancy's genotype must be FX Fx (i.e.: one healthy gene that is dominant, meaning it overules the recessive gene and she therefore doesn't have the disorder, but is still a carrier). Chris could have had the genotype FX Y, if he was healthy, or Fx Y if he too suffered from Fragile X syndrome. However, as Daniel was male, he must have inherited the Y chromosome from his father, and the Fx chromosome from his mother. With no dominant FX to suppress it, Daniel developed Fragile X syndrome.I would be hugely surprised if Fragile X has any bearing on this case whatsoever, unless Chris Benoit was convinced that he had to put Daniel "out of his misery". It is the "most common inherited cause of learning difficulties, predominantly in males". Learning difficulties do not make a person psychotic, and anyone trying to use this to mitigate Benoits behaviour should reconsider.Edit: Darkstar beat me to the punch.

Do you think when the Cops arrived at the scene and found the bodies they lifted each of their arms three times to make sure they were really out?

Does this mean we can start?

From the WWE statement:

In keeping with company policy, and with limited knowledge regarding facts of the case, WWE choose to air a memorial dedicated to the career of Chris Benoit.

How fucked up is an industry that feels the need to have a company policy for when its employees die?

I read a very similar statement last night, but it read that "Raw was cancelled between 4:00pm and 5.00pm, in line with company policy". Perhaps it's just a typo on the updated WWE.com version that is available now.

its run by michael cole, what do you expect?

You mean Michael Cole (aka Michael Coulthard) the highly experienced and respected broadcast journalist who spent almost a year under siege in Sarajevo? Or Michael Coutlhard, the highly respected and experienced broadcast journalist who covered the Waco seige and massacre on a national scale in the US?The guy may not be everyones favourite commentator, but I don't think anyone can question his skills as a journalist. His skills as an editor, however, clearly leave a lot to be desired.
