During 'that' scene, I actually got to the stage where I started to think about how the actors managed to get through it. Gove them their due, it's pretty convincing. I've still not managed to watch house of 1000 corpses yet, but have heard great things - and Devils Rejects is a huge favourite of mine, so if it is anything like it, then I'll be happy.

Last House on the Left (2009). Never saw the original, so I had nothing to go on. Pretty savage film really. A rape scene which I found pretty disturbing, and lots of violent action. The storyline was ok, but I thought the end was a bit odd/shit.

Magdalene Sisters - Brilliant film, quite disturbing at times. Street Kings - Keanu Reeves, Forrest Whittaker and Hugh Laurie playing good cops, bad cops. That said, it was really enjoyable.

Gladys, I seem to recall from earlier in this thread that they are to protect pedestrians while crossing the junction? Regardless, they've been removed from the QB for about a week now I think, no idea why though (and I'm not complaining - bloody hazard).

I was once told by a DOT worker that the red and white bollard thingies are there to allow pedestrians to cross the road without being endangered by traffic when waiting to cross the second carriageway. And he wasn't leaning on a shovel at the time so it must be true. Ah, here it is.

Because it looks Ok does not mean that it is necessary. Drivers still have to get out into the traffic flow - something a few of them don't seem to have the skill to do. Have the DoT produced a cost benefit/analysis or is this just a 'nice to do'. Should £4 million of your money and mine (about £200 per family) be spent on this without having some form of commercially sound justification? PS: How does a pedestrian cross the road - there does not seem to be any provision in the crayon sketh. Just because I think the design of the actual roundabout is OK, it doesn't mean I think it's value for money. I think that the £4m cost to build it sounds ridiculous, however I'm not in construction, so I'm just saying that because it sounds like a shit load of cash that can amazingly be found when other things have to go without. As with previous government projects I would think that the final cost is a lot more than £4m. I'm also (not pleasantly) surprised that they've quoted 2 years for the build. I'm sure resorts and huge buildings get constructed around the world in less time. Park and ride, provision for cycle lanes, somewhere to park my fucking bike in Douglas would be nice.

I think it actually looks OK - I was pleasantly surprised.

Spotted Amadeus propping up a lamppost near ther QB roundabout today

The Prestige - What an excellent film. In a way I'm kind of glad that you guys told me about the possibility of a twist that was to come. It doesn't become apparent that there will be a twist or that there is something to look out for, until at least half way through the movie. However once it gets going and after the cameo by Mr. Bowie things really start to pick up. Great performances by Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine I thought. Thanks for the heads up. For those who have not yet managed to catch it, it should be on until Friday evenings on Sky Movies, and it's possibly on Sky Anytime, so you can watch it whenever you like.

Cheers for the recommendation, I saw it advertised on Sky Movies this week. It's Christian Bale isn't it? Will Sky+ it tonight.

I'm a Taysider! Ah, reminds me of my childhood, I used to speak a bit like that....hehe

Thank christ I didn't wave at you then....
