  1. And this?
  2. Spot on
  3. Berlin: Sex (I am)
  4. Heres some culture to make up for the man boobs
  5. Bah humbug
  6. Scotch, and keep it coming
  7. Sex Pistols: Submission
  8. Awful, they sound like a Queen tribute band.
  9. From that urban legends website: "Tyrone Power (died 15 November 1958) Tyrone Power suffered a heart attack during the filming of a fencing scene in Solomon and Sheba in Madrid, Spain. He died only minutes after being loaded into an ambulance." I remember reading an old interview with Vincent Price (who was a good firend of Powers) about this. He said he had got onto a plane on the 15th and was looking out the window when he says he saw a message in the clouds saying " Tyrone Power is dead", and when he got off the plane he was informed of his death.
  10. Just to make clear, I think Btamn dying in his sleep is the right way to end the character, but not the series. In fact I think the perfect end has already been written, which is of course, The Dark Knight Returns. By the way Voltron, nice Beyond pic in your sig
  11. No, that's too depressing, of all the comic book charcters I think think of it's Bruce who deserves the chance of a happy old age and a peceful death
  12. Bruce should die peacefully in his bed at a ripe old age surrounded by his friends and family, with someone to take up the mantle of Batman. With all that he has gone through in his life, he deserves a diginified and happy end.
  13. I put agree to this and still came out far left, weird. Now me and KKK have something in common, also weird.
  14. Economic Left/Right: -6.00 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05 Well, i've become even more left wing as i've got older
  15. Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of Helter Skelter is damn good
  16. Yeah, issue 2 was a step up from issue 1, but it still dosen't sit right with me, it just dosen't feel like the real Batman
  17. If it wasn't such a serious situation I would laugh. It reminds me of that Python sketch where Eric Idle kills everyone by accident
  18. Normally, I don't like to comment on murder cases till i've heard all the evidence but i'm convonced Huntleys guilty as sin. The prosecution evidence thus far has been very strong and this seems to be the best Huntley has to offer, he's clearly grasping at straws.
  19. One question, but a serious one. How can you combat this kind of ingrained practice from Islamic societys, without making them think it is an attempt to wipe out there culture and religon? (Though in this case, personally, I wouldn't care if it pissed them off or not)
  20. Sorry, should have made this clearer, as far as I remember there wasn't even an offical meet and great with a selected audience, it was just in and out.
  21. Have just been watching news of the protests in London and I have to say I have never seen so much hate for one man in all my life. You would think London was in the heart of the Gaza Strip what with all the U.S. flags being burnt. I knew that Bush was disliked but the size and intensity of these protests have surprised me
  22. From what twisted perspective is placing achievement above appearances a "fatal flaw?" I would wager it would matter a great deal to the general public, not placing it above achievement but making sure that they actually understand there has been an achievement. Where in the age of the soundbite now and for better or worse (I think worse) apperance is key to success
  23. Oh nothing, not really. He may have added an extra stamp of legitamacy to the process but that was about it. That really wasn't the point though, I was trying to say that presentation is the key, you can do very little but still make yourself look could if you can present it correctly. I think that has been Bush's fatal flaw in foreign relations.
  24. The reason I think people have a problem with Bush is the way he can come across on television. I know a lot of people, Tony Blair for example, say in private he comes across as very intelligent, but if you can't get that across on television it is hard for people to believe. Let me put my own example on this: As some of you may know I live in Northern Ireland, back in 1996 or 1997 (I forget the exact date) we had Bill Clinton make an offical visit to support the peace process. It was a very hopeful time for the province back then and Clinton's visit was seen as a momentus and positive event. I have never seen this place that welcoming of any foreign dignitary. Clinton was treated as a hero, he was swamped with well wishers when he took a walk down the Fall's Road, politicans were lining up to meet and talk with him and he addressed the crowd outside Belfast City Hall to a rapturous crowd. The man's personal charisma carried this off perfectly. He made it seem to everyone he met that he was going to make sure that America was behind us and it really seemed like he was going to make a difference for the country, and to this day he is still seen in a very favourable light here. However, compare this to Bush's visit earlier this year and the difference is extraordinary. He came to very little fanfare, the only reception he got from the local people were a couple of protesters on the motorway, local politicans were nowhere to be seen with the praise they had for Clinton. There was no meeting the people in the streets which was one of the defining images of Clinton's visit. He went to Hillsborough Castle, conducted his business, made a short statement and left. That is what I feel has lead to a lot of the ill feeling for Bush overseas, the feeling that he dosen't really care about anyone but America. Now, I can understand that, after all he was elected to lead the U.S., not Northern Ireland. However with the U.S. being the Hyperpower of the world, it is up to Bush to be seen to take the views of the rest of the world into account, or else why should the rest of the world listening to the U.S. Failing to sign up to the Kyoto agreement and the I.C.C. was the first step on that road. We have to wait and see what happens with the trade tariffs, if Bush is smart he will drop them to increase goodwill, but I wait with bated breath to see if that happens.
