That was on the last series, wasn't it?

It's normally the Mrs that watched stuff like that....and plane crash programmes.

Watched the Barca game last night.

I'm not saying he's a bad player, but pretty much everyone in the team passes to him instead of shooting so of course he scores a lot. I think it was last year in the CL when the oppo kept him quiet before all the midfield and defence were on yellows, after that point he just waltzed through them all.

Generally on Barca, you'd get bored of watching that every week.

I didn't get bored of watching a football genius at work. The man's amazing. He'll be surrounded by defenders and yet still wants the ball. He rarely loses it and bangs five goals in and you say "I'm not saying he's a bad player" ? :shock:

He's a very good player but someone should sit him down in front of the Teen Wolf movie. Just because you have superpowers doesn't mean you have to use them!

Anyway..

Wife and daughter went to see "Woman in Black". I told her what Bruce? said about having to see it at the cenema rather than DVD. She totally agrees and said it was very good?

Tried that Dustin Hoffman thing on Sky Atlantic - Luck. Gave up halfway through the 2nd episode.

Am trying to watch Rabbit Proof Fence, which is a real erstwhile story but the film isn't exactly holding my attention. I'll have a third go tomorrow!

That's what genius is for!

The real gulf between Messi and C.Ron is in their personalities. Messi plays for the team, with a smile on his face and seems genuinely modest as a man. What on earth would be the point of being modest as a footballer?!

Stick with it Bruce. The acting can be a bit iffy in places but by the end I was impressed and found it really moving.

Good advice, Harry.

And, Bruce, have a hankie ready by the end...

I'm just remembering now... Saw it at the cinema... might get from Lovefilm...

Watched the first 50 mins of Head On - Turkish-German movie on what happens when a Moslem woman born in Germany attempts to live a carefree, sexually promiscuous, German life... and marries a total pisshead to get away from her restrictive family...

On 50 minutes, it froze and would not move... so I'll never know the rest of the story - LF will replace, of course, if I wish, but wasn't engaged enough to care much (though would have stuck to the end)...

So just flicked through channels to find it 1-1 at Old Filthford... and i'm so glad I stuck with it... Oh, man, may have been my fave hour on C5 ever... (or at least since we were Europa playing)... Bilbao fantastic... Hope they give the shite a total toasting in the return leg...

that's an almost bobo-esque long-winded, unlikely, and suspiciously overdone explanation as to why you just happened to be spending your evening watching ManU!! :wink:

And yet - however unlikely it seems - the truth...

As I'm sure bobo speaks all the time... despite his catholic education... :wink:

OK, cheers guys. Will give it a proper watch this evening.

Started watching The Task...and I already know it's going to be shite.

Started on Boardwalk Empire - watched the first two episodes. Very promising.

No evidence so far it will match The Wire or The Sopranos, but few things do...
