Alex - I'm a little bit concerned that Santa's got his arm around you & not the lovely ladies. Did he whisper something in your ear? - "Ho, Ho, Ho - Have I got a surprise for you!!"

Both Andre and Mark not what I expected
For some reason I imagined Andre to have long hair and perhaps a beard for that prog 70s look and Mark to look a bit more the mad the professor; no offence meant
Andr'e has a pony tail (grrr) and Labarum still has all his hair too - double grrrrrrrr!
Alex, I feel for you buddy. My ATC tweeters took a couple of poundings in himself's early days and we nearly lost him, together with total trashing of a B&O telly and rather excellent Panasonic video machine when they were all but swiped off the cabinet they were sat on, but he's been pretty good on the whole (we now have the hormones kicking in with all the defiance and "teenage-attitude" to deal with - the great little man-cub we had is now hidden for a few years).
Hamish, all the very best indeed for you and your better half - as Alex says, truly life-changing and you'll never be the same again,I promise you :)
I have got long hair right down to my arse, i never get a shave these days.that pic was about 10 years ago but nothing changes :lolsign:Quote:

I have been looking closely in recent weeks, and my very thick thatch is beginning to thin front-top. Well, at 61 I've had a good run.
PS The Major-General in the coffin would be highly amused to know he was part of this conversation.
That's kind of how mine used to be ;) When it did eventually fill out it was with silver or if you like grey hairs :eek: I wouldn't do too much wishing if i was you :lol:Quote:

cheers for the congratulatory comments everyone :) ... early days yet, still just in first trimester for another couple of weeks ... wish us luck... im shitting my self for the safety and survival of the little shrimp (as its currently known) ... still, i have already seens its heart beat on a screen ... that was pretty exiting i can tell ya!
After two false starts, which were very stressful, I was invited in once the first scan looked positive. To see this little pin-point beating/flashing on the screen was a huge point in my life. We had fortnightly scans from then on, just to be sure, up to 15 weeks, and to see this little dot grow into something properly resembling a little human was humbling in the extreme. Argumentative little so and so at the moment though, but I love him more than life :)
Ours was "prawn" for ages, then after the first scan my Missus said "it's got your chops" (we didn't find out the sex, so she was an "it" until birth) - so Chops became her nickname, and it has stuck - we still call her Chops more than anything else, the poor little thing! (And I'm Mr Chops and Mummy is Mrs Chops!) Fingers crossed for you Hamish - I'm sorry to tell you that the shitting yourself for the safety and survival is unlikely ever to stop - certainly hasn't for me for the last 3 years and I doubt it ever will! Congratulations again buddy, you're in for a great journey!Quote:

Does that to you, doesn't it? When my wife was first pregnant I became incredibly protective and almost a survivalist - I was hiding improvised weapons and torches around the house, planning escape routes whenever we stayed anywhere like a hotel - the Missus got quite worried about me at one stage! Nature's way, I guess - the paternal instinct certainly took me by surprise though!Quote:

Blimey! Is that you visiting your local FOPP store? Impressive collection.
Cheers Colin :) There are a few more racks than that though & i actually need to make more :eek:Quote:

Oh they are not all CDs by the way :eyebrows:
That left rack is full of blu rays, the one above the door holds DVDs & SVHS videos. The main racks on the right hold CDs to about 3/4 of there height & DVDs above them :scratch: The CDs go down to about 1.5" above the carpet so there are quite a few...
Luckily i can get rid of the DVDs that the duplicate blu rays replace :)
Ive saying no to Blue ray for the past year, and then they brought out Alien last month and i gave in and bought a player:doh:
:lolsign: Yes, that was one i was well & truly waiting for...Quote:

You got enough CD's there Mark :lolsign:
The first Alien film looked great on standard DVD, far better than the fourth in the Quadrilogy. Are the other films better in blu-ray?
Please give a list of DVD's you're disposing of, as with the tellies we have there's absolutely no reason yet to go hi-def video :)
Excellent news man Hifi days will have to take a back seat but hey this is such good newsQuote:

The blu rays i'm sure will be stunning :)Quote:

I'm sure you'd be interested more in original films though & as it happens i haven't taken any down the local secondhand shop yet :)
Ridley Scott rules. Blade Runner did it for me.Quote:

Err we wont mention Kingdom of Heaven.
The full 4.5 hr version is an excellent film, the original cinema release was destroyed by the enforced savage editing, in order to placate the american 'hawks' and bible bashers... IMHOQuote:

All of the background has been gutted, at least an hour and a half at the beginning, all the Christian 'fundamentalist' activity has been cut, all that's left in the original is effectively the battle scenes and some stilted dialog...Quote:

When the baby dies and she subsequently commits suicide he looses it and is banged up in the local cells. The Crusaders do not just happen by, they are specifically looking for him based on reputation, his brother the priest (this is a bit skipped over in the original) tries to convince him to go with them, attempting to sell his skills to the Crusaders...etc...etc...etc.
OK it doesn't make Orlando Bloom a better actor, but you at least feel his character is somewhat more believable.
It's worth a go, just to make sense of the original, he rarely makes a poor film IMHO :)
Youve convinced me. Orlando Bloom is shite though.
Must have been one for the ladies shall we say, not quite my idea of a warmongering Norman Crusader, more a renaissance hairdresser...still he's even worse in Troy, now there's a shite historical film!!!Quote:

Yep, that's the way :eyebrows: I haven't paid for a haircut in over 15 years & at a minimum of £5 a shot that's a nice saving me thinks ;) Not sure how much a haircut is these days but i could never get a reduction when using trimmers & it didn't make sense to me :scratch:Quote:
