You know when you buy fireworks for bonfire night, and you dont quite know what firework does what. And you light a nice big rocket, and then the last one you have left is a big let down that leaves everyone feeling flat. That was Raw last night following Survivor Series. Can't believe I stayed up until 4am to watch what essentially was a sitcom at points. Bar a few good moments, with Daniel Bryan, and Ambrose/Harper, it just didn't live up to what could of been a great fall-out/repercussions show.  I don't know what the whole deal with Vince is either. I mean before Survivor Series he was coming off as he was stacking the odd's against the Authority, putting that stipulation on for no reason at all, and then acting disappointed on Raw? It just didn't really make sense to me, and could have been written a lot better. My one other good note is that I'm very much looking for to A New Day on next weeks show. Lets hope that one isn't another shit tesco firework. 

Just watched episode 9 of Homeland (US pace) and wow, it was amazing. One of the best shows on TV right now, and that ending was up there with all your breaking bad/game of thrones moments. Can't wait to see what happens next. 

It froze one or two times for me, but my only problem was that it was 2-3 minutes behind. 

For the last few weeks I've tried to stay up for Raw, and I always get to the half way point and think 'theres another 1 hour and 30 mins left of this, what on earth can they possibly fill it with', then I resign myself to sleep. There's nothing at the moment with the product that will keep me tuned in for the full advert ridden duration. 

 

I have a corn snake, its almost 4ft now, and I'm looking at getting a royal python fairly soonish. And whilst I love the venomous species, I'd never even consider getting the training and license to keep one, the risk is just far too great. There are several pet shops across the UK that have venomous species, and theres a few that offer training. One I know of is Wrigglies, here's their facebook page if you fancy handling something that could kill you You'd be surprised at the amount of people that keep venomous reptiles. But also there are plenty of anaconda keepers and the like, infact you can pick up a young anaconda for £90 an under, and no you don't need a license either, though most sellers will vet you themselves. There are a few other common kept species, like the Hognose snake which many people have, and is even considered a beginner snake. It has very tiny fangs and venom akin to a wasp sting or a little worse. But i am allergic to stings so would probably have a very bad reaction if those cute buggers ever had a nip. Another common kept snake requiring no license is the False Water Cobra. It's not actually a cobra, but it does puff its neck out like a cobra, and also carries venom, but not potent enough to be considered dangerous to humans, but again if like me you are allergic, then you'd steer well clear.

Yeah, I know of those ones being pretty popular among enthusiasts. I think the hognose can look a bit fat-cobra-ish with the hood too. If i was serious about keeping something and wanted to get a mildly venomous but not DWA species, the Mangrove Snakes look like big, mean looking buggers with their lovely black/yellow colours. They look spectacular.  I think even if you don't suffer from allergies like yourself, some of those back fanged species  can still do some harm to you, but only if you were nuts and let them latch on and chew away for a minute or two (outwith the obvious few that genuinely are deadly)

 

I think it would be cool to see all the addresses where venomous snakes are kept, to see what's closest, if they're kept anywhere you frequently pass etc. Likewise with all those medical research facilities. I'd guess you could get the info about private owners from an FOI, not that i'd be that keen to go to those lengths.

 

I too have often wondered where the nearest person keeping DWA would be, though i'm only 20 minutes away from London Zoo myself, but you never know what your neighbours might have and how often you've walked by a cobra or two. If I ever were to own a DWA, I'd love an Albino Diamondback rattler, or a Gaboon Viper (you don't realise how huge they are until you see someone handle one). Is there a strange or unusual pet thread on here come to think of it? 

 

Snakes however, while fascinating me, make my arsehole go 5p-50p.

That reminds me, is anyone here really into snakes, as in the ones that can make you dead? Like folk with a DWA licence to keep them, have pals or know of other folks who do, or are similar to me in just being into them from a distance

 

I'm totally fascinated by venomous snakes; love reading about them when I get the chance, and watching any documentary I can find. Whenever I see any TV footage of foreign rural lands, one of my first thoughts is usually what types of snakes can you find around there. As a kid, I used to even rent out some utterly shit B-Movie, 'Rattlers', whenever my usual Commando or Beverly Hills Cop were taken.

 

I always meant to ask, as it can't be all that common an interest but it wouldn't surprise me if there's one or two UKFFers like myself or who would know such folk, what with that whole wrestling-rock-snakes connection thing... like rabbits and tennis.

Great to see the NXT guys get a showing, can't wait for Takeover 2 on thursday! Thought the Jerry Springer segment was gonna be dross but I was laughing by the end. Definitely a close-call for Seth almost getting impaled. Another great Heyman promo which was then topped by Cena and his 'make-a-wish' speech. 

Does anyone know the music used in the openings of the recent Saturday Nights Main Event uploads? They changed it from the original ones used at broadcast. 

Kinda looks like a backstage shot on Jeremy Kyle. But what a difference a few years make!

I can't get the network to work on Chrome, so gutted as I've got chromecast as well, I've tried all the suggestions to fix the issue with chrome, but there seems to be a big pool of people whom chrome doesn't work for with the network. Last I heard a resolution was being looked for by the developers, but that was pre-mania, and still nothing. Alas, I still can watch it on safari, but would have liked it up on the big screen.

edit: I've just these last few minutes, found a solution, using an extension for chrome, you can select a browser that it will mimick, so I can choose firefox and it will play in chrome, and subsequently, I can now cast it to my tv, and it works fine!

Was anyone watching the wrestling-network stream? They trolled a lot of people by cutting in cm punks theme at the end.

Love the set-up of NXT, and it's great that WWE are really pushing it, and as such, is becoming a little beast in its own right. Cesaro/Zayn was awesome, it's just a shame that the network packed up right before the title match, was really looking forward to that.

Worth staying up just for that ending, Taker looked awesome, and the show itself was pretty solid, a lot of good matches, just a shame about the crowd and their shitty chants.

The ending of Season 3 Episode 8.... Tim Van Patten knocks em out of the park every time.

Definitely been the best Season of Boardwalk so far.

I love that stop motion animation epescially when they reduce the frame rate.

Fantastically animated story of a balloon. Well worth watching:

 

Balloon!

 

Short silent story, filmed very well indeed.

 

A Thousand Words

Brilliant!

Appeal to the girls? He's feckin ugly.

He could of changed her life.

But it leaves the question of the family emergency

This is absolutely shocking news

nope its not to do with the arena's because wwe have atleast been to them arena's before and used pyro's. My theory is the same as Lee's, anyone else ?

Why have wwe stopped doing intro's with pyro's on raw these days ?

Khali without a doubt wins this title
