How We See The World

I'm not talking about your blockbusters like Titanic or your Jurassic Parks, I'm talking about the movies that are little gems that have a small, or even a large following which weren't mainstream. Personally I go for one that turned into a big cult years after it had been released and is a hit amongst mostly all film critics. It was called Withnail and I, and was about two unemployed actors who take up the opportunity to go on holiday to a cottage in the Lake District, and turns out to be a disastrous holiday. If you know Richard E Grant then this was in fact his first acting role. 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, even though it took me a couple of times to reall…

A ten-pin bowler It's a peril that only a crack team of health and safety experts could have uncovered. After two years and £250,000, they found that ten-pin bowling alleys up and down the country could be a 'very dangerous' environment for families. They concluded that it was too easy for children or teenagers to run down lanes and get trapped in machinery that sets up the pins - even though there was no record of any such accident havin…

Must See Historic Videos: Why They Hate Me — Part II "The evidence is irrefutable: Mexico passed dual citizenship because they saw California's Proposition 187 as a direct threat to their plan of conquest of California.

Average Briton drinks 84 times their bodyweight in alcohol By Sophie Borland and Neil Sears Last updated at 6:24 PM on 30th November 2009 Comments (21) Add to My Stories The average adult consumes 84 times their body weight in alcoholic beverages in their lifetime, research has suggested. Or, in other words, if all the drinks we consume in our lifetime were to be placed on a giant pair of scales, they would balance an adult bull elephant. Soaring levels of binge drinking mean that many Britons drink an average of 3.7 pints of beer, or 8.5 large glasses of wine, each week.

Mephedrone menace: The deadly drug that's cheap, as easy to order as pizza... and totally legal By Paul Bracchi Last updated at 12:14 AM on 28th November 2009 Comments (14) Add to My Stories Victim: Gabrielle Price, 14, is believed to have taken Mephedrone The motorbike courier arrived at my home shortly after 8pm. He could have been delivering a pizza. It was certainly just as easy as ordering a margherita. One phone call. A text message to confirm address. Then, 40 or so minutes later, a knock on the door. But, on this occasion, the person standing outside was not from the local takeaway. He was carrying an envelope, and inside …

I just bought a D-Link DIR-600 Wireless Router and have already installed it to a normal modem. I'm using an XP Desktop (because my laptop is on service). It stated there that the router has been configured successfully. However, when I try to connect it to the Internet, I received Error 678: The remote computer did not respond. :veryangry2: But, it works fine if I plugged off the router and connected the Internet directly to the modem (that's why I can use the internet now :D). Can anyone help me find out what is wrong with my router? :\

Elf and safe tree!! Cone moan ... little girl turns A TOWN has blown £14,000 on this 33ft traffic cone - to replace "dangerous" Christmas trees. Officials feared the usual Norway fir - costing £500 - would topple over in high winds. They replaced it with the branchless artificial tree which has embedded lights and speakers to play music. But locals have branded it a traffic cone and witch's hat. Town chiefs - who have had to cut back on Christmas lights this year - say the fake is much safer and sturdier than the real tree. Residents in Poole, Dorset, have blasted the decision. Michelle James, 27, said: "It's like something that's landed from outer space - n…
