| 4 Mar 10 | Carrington (1) | (4 Mar 10, 3:32 PM by Conan_The_Librarian) |
| One of my favourite films. Just a bloody shame the break is during a scene which is, to me, one of the most wonderfully erotic scenes ever put on film. [more...]

| 18 Sep 09 | RIP Mary Travers (4) | (18 Sep 09, 9:55 PM by spirifer) |
| of Peter, Paul and Mary fame. She had the most wonderful, haunting voice. I remember watching a crackly black and white film of PP&M singing "The Times They Are A'Changin'" back years ago, and her voice sent chills down my spine. [more...]

| 5 Aug 09 | Fucking drivers (8) | (5 Aug 09, 11:26 PM by TheCatalyst) |
| Yes, well done that chap in the old "K" reg Merc, who decided that overtaking me *and* the bus I'd flashed to pull out was such a good idea. Well done for only narrowly avoiding the oncoming car, causing it and the bus to swerve amidst a cacophony of beeping. [more...]

| 6 Jul 09 | I think I saw the crack last night... (1) | (8 Jul 09, 2:00 PM by Topman1) |
| It was right lovely. It could of course have done with being, oooh, at least 30 miles deeper but, what the hell, it eclipsed the moon, caused unusually unseasonable high tides, and acted as a blueprint for the Panama Canal. [more...]

| 18 Jun 09 | :-( (7) | (18 Jun 09, 5:01 PM by spirifer) |
| I haue of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth, forgone all custome of exercise;
and indeed, it goes so heauenly with my disposition;
that this goodly frame the Earth, seemes to me a sterrill
Promontory; this most excellent Canopy the Ayre,
look you, this braue ore-hanging, this Maiesticall Roofe,
fretted with golden fire: why, it appeares no other thing
to mee, then a foule and pestilent congregation of vapours.
What a piece of worke is a man! how Noble in
Reason? how infinite in faculty? in forme and mouing
how expresse and admirable? in Action, how like an Angel?
in apprehension, [more...]

| 29 Apr 09 | Argh - what is this video??!! (6) | (29 Apr 09, 8:14 PM by spirifer) |
| It's driving me mad! It was a music video, released about 4 or so years ago, with a young kid in a tracksuit wandering about on an estate. He buys a pie in a shop, then goes into a pub. There are chavvy looking blokes in tracksuits, and a rather blowsy looking woman gives him a bit of a come on, cheeky look. [more...]
