Having just seen this on the BBC, I now know who you mean. Home and Away star dies of cancer

I've picked up THe Little Friend by Donna Tartt again, and am persisting with it. Its well written, and there is a storyline, but is just isn't grabbing me too well.

they ought to be more careful about getting drunk with a strange man walking round with a film crew in tow!!

and, if wahtshisface hadn't taken over Man U, they'd have more paid up members. you just need to look at the memership list for FC United!!!

Two US students are suing a film studio claiming they were duped into appearing in spoof movie Borat starring Sacha Baron Cohen as a Kazakh journalist. The unknown plaintiffs are seen making sexist and racist remarks in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Legal papers said the two men "engaged in behaviour that they otherwise would not have engaged in". Spokesman for 20th Century Fox Gregg Brilliant said the case "has no merit". The men are identified in the film as two fraternity members from a South Carolina university. 'Humiliation' They are not named in the case "to protect themselves from any additional and unnecessary embarrassment". According to legal documents, a production crew took the pair to a bar to drink and "loosen up" before taking part in a documentary they were told would be shown outside the US. The film "made plaintiffs the object of ridicule, humiliation, mental anguish and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community," the papers stated. British comedian Cohen appears in the film as an apparently naive reporter whose enthusiastic offensiveness either leaves his US interviewees in shock, or persuades them to reveal a little too much of their own prejudices. As well as Fox, the two men are also suing three other production companies. The film is currently at the top of the box office charts in North America and the UK. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6136944.stm

that'd work. the break comes in at about episode 6 doesn't it? so 6 weeks time is the first or second week of January, meaning Sky won't have to do the weird break thing

try telling that to Ian!!! I have crap circulation in my hands & feet, so I'm not the best person to get into bed with, unless you're partial to blocks of ice sidling up next to you!!!!

perfectly good advice. they used to wear nightcaps in the dark ages!! although the socks and water bottle are a rocking idea. can't beat a thick pair of Totes and a boiling hot water bottle in bed.

nah, looks more like Demrot O'leary than Freddie

Re-reading Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince

And his sex life affects his ability to act how???????

Blimey!! That's freaky footage.

Borat 5/10 was expecting it to be pants, but was slightly better than that.

ffs!! :rolleyes:

I think this one's better! http://www.urbansloppiness.co.uk/future/speeding.html

I'm just not a morning person!! :D

I've started re-reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Have just got into the third one Voyager. Am thoroughly enjoying the re-read.

don't see how they can do it, surely they would have to pass a law to do so. tv licence inspectors aren't allowed in your property without a policeman and a warrant. and its definitely not a fairer system. if I work hard to earn enough money to modify my property, and choose to spend my money in that way, why should I pay more tax than someone down the road who is a lazy scrote and leaves their garden to be overgrown, and their building to fall to pieces. you're penalising me for having pride in my property and for paying for its upkeep.

the school was being sensible. the cake in its box may have been allergy free, but they added toppings to it. if I was responsible for other people's kids, I wouldn't be taking a risk which could result in one of them dying. it doesn't take too much imagination to imagine what the media backlash would have been if this story was the other way round and a child had died from a nut allergy because the school let her share. yes, they sometimes take things too far, eg banning conkers, ticky, football in the playground etc because of the risk of a few cuts & bruises. but I don't thing banning something where the possible consequence could be death is a bad thing

not sensible to beconme a baby factory, and not necessarily sensible to decide to become a mum at 15. but at least she had a baby because it was what she wanted one. (don't think the other 5 were completely neccessary when they aren't working & are receiving benefits but that's a whole other conversation!) the 14 year old had had sex, got pregnant and just didn't want to deal with the consequences. it was almost heartbreaking. they went to this special baby school, and there was her and two other teenage mums, learning to look after their babies. the other two were getting on with it, and doing baby massage, playing with the babies and whatever else, and she just sat there texting her mates and ignoring her baby whilst it cried.

She was on a documentary about teenage mums a few weeks ago. It was quite interesting, and she did come across as one of the more sensible ones. There was one 14 year old who pretty much refused to look after the baby, and was more interested in texting her mates & going out.

Not seen it yet. Was out at my work leaving do last night. the trailers looked interesting though.
