Everything about it 'smells of the 70s'! Loved it to bits...

It was a while ago, but having checked, yes that was it.Quote:

Just watched a recording from this week "The Poseidon" remake with Kurt Russel, there is some serious bass through out with the ship explosion/fireballs, and this strange noise ? "Turn It Down" As advised here by another member "Turn It Up Till You Can No Longer Hear Turn It Down" who then disappeared off to bed:D
Great programme tonight, on BBC2, for music lovers, featuring coverage from a very famous studio!

Don't miss it!:cool:

P.S Check out those gorgeous big JBLs in the background!!:drool:
New 'Magum PI' at 2100 tonight on Sky One. Everyone needs to watch it because otherwise Sky will cancel it.
Also new 'Curse Of Oak Island' on History, also at 2100 so you'll have to tape one of them. Or both.
Oh come on. The new Magnum is bound to be dire. After all, the original was aimed at fourteen year old schoolboys.Quote:

I'm surprised at Macca recommending watching something made after 1985. But I've watched two or three of these, and found it to be watchable escapist entertainment - place looks great, and I could happily holiday there despite the show making it look like nearly everyone is a crook. Not too taxing on the brain though. I'm glad to see that Robin Masters has shelled out for Higgins' "gender reassignment", though it hasn't helped with his/her acting, which is even shitter.Quote:

Love those American "mystery documentaries". Always the same formula: start out asking a question, waffle for ten minutes, take an advert break after which they repeat the footage you sat through before the break, and this carries on for a whole hour. At the end of which no one is any the wiser.
I thought so but I actually quite like it. Obviously not as good as the original but what is?Quote:

Film 4 tonight 2100hrs 'Downfall'. Corking film, well worth a watch if you have not seen it before. Or even if you have. Staggeringly good performance from Bruno Ganz as Hitler. And the hot chicks in Waffen SS battledress near the end are a bonus.
The various re-subtitling of Hitler's rant with his generals became one of the most popular and widely promulgated memes.Quote:

This 2nd series seems to have improved on the first, enjoying the first couple of episodes a lot.

One of the last good years in music was 1994. Or maybe even the last. That Primal Scream album, Stone Roses 'Second Coming' and Oasis 'Definitely Maybe' all came out. Still play all of them now.Quote:

Matter of taste I suppose, but Massive Attack, Faithless, Orbital, Underworld, Chemical Brothers and Prodigy all had good things going on early to mid nineties. This was my "rave" period, so I suppose I'm biased.
Watched the Primal Scream documentary last night and really enjoyed it. Just streaming the Memphis mix now.
Good news, Magnum PI has been renewed for a second season so looks like enough of us did watch it. Great work, you've all done very well.Quote:

The Jesse Stone TV movies are outstanding, really atmospheric and deep. Seriously good acting and great cast. I have them on DVD.Quote:

Nonsense. That would mean that a Twister was an ice-cream.Quote:

I had to look up what a Twister was so that's a good indication that I'm probably already out of my depth on this topic. But according to Wikipedia it is both an ice cream and a lollipop. And it is described as a 'lollipop on a stick' which implies that it is possible to have a lollipop without a stick. So Gaz is wrong in that the stick is not integral to the lolly. So now I don't know what to think:Quote:

This all came about because of the bizarre procedure they have at work for getting ice cream in. Instead of everyone putting in thir order they would just go out and buy a random selection of ice creams so you'd invariably get stuck with something cack that tastes of coconut or something equaly vile. Lemon sherbert I was stuck with once.
So I said I wanted a choc ice but apparently they don't exist anymore. Which I was sceptical about. Anyway they insisted that if you wanted to order your own choice you had to name a brand. I've got no idea, I never buy ice cream but some helpful young lady suggested I order a 'Magnum' Her reason? ''I think it's a bit like what you call a choc ice''. As though I'd been frozen in time for two centuries and just been revived FFS. But it is exactly like a choc ice. Just on a stick.
I only know about Twisters because they were my daughters' favourite lollies when they were nippers. The cheapest lolly was a 'milk lolly', which they could be fobbed off with when tiny, but they soon cottoned on to the fact that milk lollies were a lot smaller than Twisters.
When we were kids and dad had buggered off to pastures new, we were too skint for ice lollies. so mum decided to have a go at making them herself. She bought some moulds, sticks and an orange liquid made from God knows what. We both came out in a fierce red rash as a result, so that was the end of that. Got us a couple of days off school though.
Fast forward 25 years, and the toxic lollies were obviously still in her thoughts, and each time I visited my mum with the ankle biters, it was Magnums all round :)
