Sir Galahad

What's inspired this is a Programme on E4 in the UK. The 100 greatest scary moments. It doesn't have to be a film, could be TV, music video etc. Has anyone ever watched Misery with Cathy Bates? You remember the scene where she breaks his ankles with a sledgehammer. Try watching that without looking away from the screen. Cape Fear with Robert De Niro, amazing performance, way better than the original The Grudge, with Sarah Michelle Geller. This was a surprise for me, first film in quite some time that made me jump. Hostel. Need I say more? Gory, great plot, right up my street. Thriller. What can you say. This, even now, is my favourite ever music video. I remember as a kid setting my alarm so I could sneak down & watch it. Pure genius. Candyman: Scared the shit outta me when I was a kid. Have hated bees ever since. Goodfellas: Just scarily accurate! Others of note: Friday the 13th, Halloween & Alien. Ok, what's yours?

Funny you should post that. Have it framed on the wall of my office!

What? Are you smoking something?

Maybe he had more than breakfast!! Looks like he went for lunch, dinner & cocktails.

I would say that looks like he was very friendly & interested! Yeah signs like that are a bitch to interpret.

A Jobsworth is someone who says 'I can't do that, it's more than my job's worth'; it seems there is no direct equivalent American word, it's a cross between 'That's not my department' and a 'Little Hitler' I only put this up because of a story I read in the Telegraph. This woman has been playing classical music to her horses for 20 years to soothe them. Sounds ok, not hurting anyone right? Wrong! According to her local council she has to get a license as it constitutes a 'Public Performance', as she has more than 2 employees at her stables. Do these busybodies have nothing better to do than to go around harassing some old dear because she plays music to her horses. What is the world coming to? Full story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics...et-licence.html Hear are a few more: The path of an ambulance on an emergency call was blocked by a councilor - because it broke local by-laws by driving on grass. Lib Dem Colin Rosenstiel stopped the vehicle and banged on the side as the crew responded to an injury at a summer festival. He rode his bike in front of it and refused to budge. Then after they finally got past him, he locked a gate as they tried to leave - only opening it when a Police Constable ordered him to. Now Rosenstiel has been rapped by council watchdog the Standards Board for England for bringing his office into disrepute. He also faces possible suspension when Cambridge city council's own standards committee meets next week. Rosenstiel insisted: "The Standards Board tends to make mountains of molehills." But Tory councilor Chris Howell said: "I think he should resign." Morrisons supermarket in Acomb, Yorkshire, England, took its rules about selling alcohol rather too seriously when they asked Jack Archer, aged 87, to prove that he was over 21. When he attempted to buy a bottle of sherry reports BBC news. Former Lord Mayor of York, Mr Archer, said that he was shocked but flattered to be asked. He stated, 'I don't look my age but I certainly don't look young enough to be in trouble for underage drinking.' Mr Archer said he often had a small glass of sherry at bedtime to help him sleep. He said: "I was taken aback really. Afterwords I thought I should have showed them my bus pass and that would have proved how old I was. A woman has been accused of littering, after sweeping leaves into a pile. Street sweepers refused to remove the leaves at the end of Sandra Pote's drive because some were in her garden. Sandra, 61, thought she was doing the cleaning truck crew a favour as they drove down the road in Torquay, Devon, but she was accused of fly-tipping by the council, reports BBC news. Torbay council insisted the couple should have taken the leaves to a tip. A spokesman said, 'Householders have a responsibility to deal with leaves on their property'. Traffic Wardens [Meter Maids] are prime culprits of 'Jobsworth' as can be seen from these examples: While he was being put in an ambulance after breaking his leg having crashed his scooter a man was presented with a

Well, this fly had been bugging me (no pun intended), whilst I was trying to work, so in frustration I went to squish it & cracked the glass on the double glazed window. Oops. Didn't mean to hit it that hard, but got the fly though! [side note: the window was covered by insurance, phew] Another was when I was like 5 or something. Decided it would be a nice idea to cook my parents breakfast on a Sunday morning. All went ok until I forgot to turn the pan out after I had finished, & it caught fire. Luckily my Dad was up by then, & caught it in time. I got hell for that! lol Plus my Ma STILL tells the story, amongst others! <sigh> Do they never forget?

I tend to agree with most of what's been posted so far. I think forgiveness depends on what exactly you have to forgive. if you know somebody didn't do something on purpose, then it comes a lot easier, well, that's a given. However, if it was deliberate, then I would have a hard time forgiving anyone, depending on the situation. Kit was right in so far that your relationship could never be the same, you would always be on guard against any further breach of trust. Talking from experience, I may have forgiven certain people, but I have never trusted them again the way I would like to. It's only ever happened once, a long time ago I might add, but if a partner cheats on you, then I think it's a lot harder to forgive what I consider to be the ultimate betrayal. And no, some 7 years later I still haven't done it, we talk etc, but in my heart I know I just can't forgive him for doing what he did.

Yeah, I agree with Kevin in that XP was one of the easier OS's to use & most stable. Win '98 however was the biggest pile of crap, even worse than Vista, though an improvement on Win 95. I had no end of problems with it. , That said, my Vista OS seems to be working perfectly. Ok, admittedly it took a year & a hundred updates to get it that way, but it runs very smoothly, so much so I have now deleted XP from my second drive. What worries me with any new OS is the unpredictability of it. I work in IT & I know at some point in the next month I am going to have to have a good look at Win 7. I just hope it's not another OTT exercise like Vista, trying to cram so much in that the whole thing goes tits up.

Gazump. Which was first slang now entered into the oxford English dictionary. It's just one of those words I like the sound of, though the meaning in mean! Gazump means to refuse to formalise a property sale agreement at the last minute in order to accept a higher offer.

Frederick

Nope, right country wrong manufacturer. BMW. The person below me moons at old ladies in the street.

UK's Queer As Folk, yours sucked! WYR: Watch a Sci-fi flick or Romantic comedy

Why would you want to know that?

Your tonight was my yesterday morning! Think I'm about 5 hours ahead of ya. Anyway, I said I'd post it today & it's up! No buns or similar objects to be thrown at screen!

Ok, here it is. <sigh> Cannot believe I was blackmailed!

All flames will be dealt with by my trusty fire extinguisher.

Perhaps I should keep 'em waiting 'til the last minute! :mace:

<groans> That's just mean! <pouts>

You shit! I wasn't gonna back out, honest!

Ok, ok. I will try & get a suitable one ready to post tomorrow.

I might, but I don't wanna dazzle ya with my pic too soon. Plus I do have one on my profile with my best friend, Beer! lol

Yup, defiantly a hottie.
