    Where to live in London?

    I live in N8 and pay 780 a month for a big one-bed flat. I can't really offer much advice about S London, as I never looked there... Herne Hill is nice though, if Brixton is a bit too earthy for you, and has a fast service to Victoria... Though I have to say, in what world is the Victoria...

    Anyone know what this is? It reminds me (probably deliberately) of the music for 'Arena'

    Spooky Computer Loop

    Haha it was brilliant... I'm not particularly worried about it being a virus or anything, I want to know what the piece of music was. It was incredibly unnerving and everyone that heard it during the five minutes in the office was raving about it... bizarre.

    Spooky Computer Loop

    This morning my computer started playing a ten-second spooky halloween sounding music loop for about 5 minutes, before stopping of its own accord. It was a minor key guitar arpeggio with what sounded like Gongs in the background, and was the aural equivalent of the weird video from 'Ring'. Has...

    Odd moments you remember

    A couple of years ago I was sat waiting for a friend to have his spot on an open-mic night. Someone was on stage with an acoustic guitar and a book of chords to popular songs, murdering 'Under the Bridge'. However, he did manage to transform his ridiculous performance by having his friends in...

    powell (and pressburger)

    I think the opening sequence in Canterbury Tale where a hawk turns into a spitfire or similar fighter is far better than the more famous bone-to-spaceship sequence in 2001.

    Nicholas Roeg

    absent minded It was after the sale of British Lion films, when the 'owners' of the Wicker Man didn't know who it would play to or what to do with it, so sold the film short by having it play second fiddle to Don't Look Now. Of course, in order to play as a B feature, they had to hack the film...

    Nicholas Roeg

    I think when Don't Look Now was released it was with The Wicker Man as the B feature... the high water marks of British Horror absent mindedly packaged together.

    A very old man dies, the 'world' holds its breath

    You aren't going to find many liberal cardinals or archbishops in the catholic church, not when JPII was in charge of appointments for over a quarter of a century. It's a bit like Reagan's supreme court, he might be long gone, but the supreme court still bears his mark to this day.

    Gang of 4 were shit. Discuss.

    Is this a hint that Go4 all have huge cocks, or that they engage in some acrobatic circle-jerk involving different postures and extremely good aim?
