I know you won't mind it coming from your old friend Brian, but I hope you'll let this one go. It hasn't been to your benefit to hold on to your feelings about all that. Is it worth it? Now here I couldn't agree more. Mr Trump's name is used in the UK as a slang expression for flatulence...

Kay Starr: Wheel of Fortune Kay Starr: Wheel of Fortune This was artfully used as incidental music in LA Confidential; but it is actually just good music in its own right. It's a damn sight better than 99% of the crap we get fed with by record companies now.

More Taylor Swift Fearless Mine I admire her strictly on artistic grounds. Those expressive, deep blue eyes of hers do not influence my judgment in any way...

Bee Bumble and the Stingers: Nut Rocker I like classical music too.:mrgreen:

Twilight: a Review As far as I am aware I have nil credibility in this forum anyway so there's nothing to lose. I like this book. The narrative voice is the heroine and smorgasbord Juliet, Bella Swan; this has a lot of advantages in short-circuiting discussions of character and motivation...

Taylor Swift : Change A small message of hope and defiance from Taylor Swift which I dedicate to all the members of NCF who have been stoically enduring the shit times we live in right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1jYllE0T-k Ms Swift is wise beyond her tender years, it's a fine lyric...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfg3BcW-w4E Not exactly Shakepearean, and I have no idea whether her pitching action is good or terrible but I reckon Ashley Greene is quite watchable in this clip and has good screen presence. It's not conclusive proof of anything, but I found it interesting and...

A beautiful young lady Here are a few pictures of Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen. Yes, I can see what the fuss is about.

Lyndon LaRouche A political gadfly, full of extreme positions which he supports by lying about and smearing his opponents. He seems to be a big fan of FDR and the New Deal (I concur) but this leads him to characterise anyone who ever opposed FDR in any way as being in league with the Devil, or...

Every day a different answer but on balance today's answer is as corny as Kansas in August: Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer. I know, I know....:redface: But I think it's a wonderful song and I don't care what anyone else makes of that. Quite like Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day...

The Ventures: Wipeout Not the worst drumming I ever heard.:cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thls_tMuFkc Georgia will miss you Brian, even if they aren't smart enough to know it. But California is about to get it's biggest shock since 1906. :mrgreen:

Tony Curtis, the veteran Hollywood actor, passed away on Wednesday 29th September. He was 85. He claimed that he sought stardom for the sake of the money and the girls, showing a certain refreshing honesty about his louche and hedonistic lifestyle which you have to respect, even if you...

Unfortunately, Colonel Nathan Jessup was a bit selective and convenient in his application of the Marine Corps moral code: he sold two of his own marines down the river in order to avert the legitimate blame for the Code Red death landing on his desk where it belonged. He has mistaken his own...

Sheep May Safely Graze Sheep may safely graze where a good shepherd watches. Where rulers govern well we may feel peace and rest and what makes countries happy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYjqnlc7MRw It keeps me calm...:cool:
