Should the Scottish Minister for Transport really resign because of the weather?
Demantoid The weather wasn't his fault, but the poor handling of it was. If hundreds of people are left stranded overnight on Scotland's busiest motorway because no-one thought to get it properly cleared, someone's head needs to roll. [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Reference: I wouldn't place all the blame on this mans head or expect him to lose his job over it. I think what really sealed his fate and had people baying for his blood was him initially saying what a wonderful job was being done and how well the authorities were coping, while hundreds of people were stranded all over the place and spending the night in their cars. [ more ]
Former Member Yes he shouldve resigned, it has been an absolute nightmare up here. Yes the snow was worse than anticipated but there were clearly no plans in place. No gritters out, people stuck on motorways for hours , he shouldve asked the WRVS out earlier to help those stranded.He clearly didnt have a clue and in the end had to get the Army out ! With all due respect Cologne, unless you have lived thru what we had too the last fortnight ,you really arent qualified to say things you have said. [ more ]

Swallows & Amazons
brisket There was an interesting aspect in this programme. Swallows & Amazons is being done on the stage as a musical, and it was noticeable that the cast did not wear those rather irritating tiny face microphones which dangle down the cheek and hover near the gob. No! They are for people who cannot project and who perhaps have had little or no training. The Bristol Old Vic company projected perfectly well without such technical aids. Andit was nice to see. [ more ]
brisket Reference: El Loro You might want to watch More 4 at 8pm this Saturday 11th. The new series of "The Making Of" starts of with a documentary of this stage production of Swallows and Amazons at the Bristol Old Vic. I am so grateful that you directed me to this programme El (I think I would have missed it otherwise.) I found it fascinating. Quite remarkable what creativity, imagination and an open mind can do. Enlightening and entertaining. Thanks also because I now see that next Saturday the... [ more ]
brisket Quote from Lazybug "I hope my daughter continues her love for books she's nearly 4 but I am constantly reading to her at her request - she loves books." I hope so too Lazybug. Television and film is great of course. But books stimulate the imagination, brain, mind and creativity. Plus books are nice to touch. [ more ]

Matt and Rebecca..
Jen-Star Aww Alexandra made me fill up a bit [ more ]
Former Member The thing is Blizzie, there has been a lot of talk about this being a music competiton not a personality competition, However I do not think you can have one without the other. What Rebecca lacks ( IMO ) is depth and soul. She just sings -there is nothing else there. And for that reason I do not think she could ever be compared to Nina Simone or Billie Holiday - she is a "Stars in their Eyes" poor imitation. She has been packaged to be that. I have no doubt that she will be successful but... [ more ]
Blizz'ard Loved all those clips, Issy. Stacey made me laugh, when she introduced the Buble. I thought she said, "The tallest man I ever met", instead of the 'coolest'! Anyway, I love Rebecca's voice, and Matt's too, but there is something about Rebecca's that I feel has a special quality and I could listen to it all day. Her voice does remind me of Billie Holiday's - not perfect, just something about it. [ more ]

Former Member Actually.. in the midst of the snowstorm, we had a wee blast of the community ethos/ co-operation and looking out for each other that used to be prevalent here - when I was yomping home having abandoned the car at work,strangers were helping each other out, wishing each other safe journey , digging each other out of deep snow ( and deep sheeeit! ) .. normal service has been resumed now though and folks are scrapping over the last loaf in the shop .

FF Update.
Yogi19 Thank you El Loro, you have probably saved me from downloading the dodgy version. [ more ]
El Loro Hi Yogi, it's safest to either wait for an Adobe product to be automatically updated or to check on the Adobe Updates site Adobe Reader current version is 9.4.1 issued mid November. If you are stil using v 8, the most recent version is 8.2.4 released back in August. If it is Flash, then visit here It looks as if v 10.1 is the most recent version. Generally, these will automatically update, and it is known that there is a virus masquerading as an adobe update message. [ more ]
Yogi19 Thank you Crispy and El Loro, I have now updated FF. I got a message saying I should also update Adobe - should I click on that too? (Forgive me, I'm a computer thicko. ) [ more ]

Bravo, Excellent, Well done, Corrie!
Moomin Wish I could quote - I said the same about Nick. soozy - he's said a lot of times about getting out without a scratch. so maybe there will be a shock there - we can but hope, can't we? [ more ]
Yellow Rose It's been an excellent Production by all concerned imo. Of all the storylines, and yes I've felt tearful more than a few times, the one I really felt for was Sally, not just because of the baby story, - which is fiction even though it's real to us followers - but because more than a few times she's had to talk about the breast cancer condition, which isn't fiction. It happened to her in real life around the time of the storyline back then. It must be difficult for her to be reminded of it... [ more ]
Garage Joe Has Sally gone soft? I would have pressed home the advantage and said that, as she might have put it, "At least when I was screwing the car sales manager, I used condoms!" [ more ]

Yay for the EU!
Blizz'ard As an ex bank clerk, can I just say that I looked forward to my meager Christmas bonus. [ more ]
Crispy Christmas Why these bonuses are paid in the first place beggars belief to me. It seems these folk in banking are a step above the normal "workers" who probably work twice as hard and recieve none of the bonuses. The monies made should be paid back to the shareholders-- ie the folk who put money in the banks ( savers) instead of making the rich uber rich. [ more ]
Starfleet Admiral hoochie An outbreak of common sense surely not! Bonuses paid on demonstrable performance of the deals made is the only way to put sense back into our systems whether it be individual companies or banks .... the culture of the glib silver tongued superstar salesman has to end.

What's your favourite Xmas advert?
Former Member Reference: My contribution to the advert thread has nothing to do with adverts. Ellie Goulding has one of those warbly vocals (people who can sing in tune but can't really sing sound like that) and she's just expressionless like she's reading the words off a piece of paper. She is not very good*. So you don't rate her then? [ more ]

The choice was between Penny, an eccentric school teacher, and bubbly Welsh hairdresser Helen.

Helen eventually finished in second place behind Brian Dowling and enjoyed a showbiz... [ more ]
