    Headfuck? really?

    Did you run out of regular adjectives?

      You are right

      I hate it when people use nouns as adjectives.

      Mind Screw

      That would be a better definition for Inception. Probably.

    Roald Dahl ...

    was it just me?

    or was the social network not that good - quite interesting for us geeks i suppose but for a mainstream audience? - a bloke sets up a website and has a bit of a tiff with some posh boys - and that's it.....

    and justin timberlake just acts like himself in it...

    The names Sorkin...

    ... Aaron "I managed to make a total financial meltdown boring" Sorkin...

    There is a reason why authors write books and journalists write 2000 word articles - and this berk is the walking talking advert for it... He even manages to make Dan Brown look talented...

    As to the pompous little twerps who came up with a$$book, thy time will come... give it 15 years and at least one of them will be found dead, hanging by his nuts, wearing a gannex mac and suspenders... and re-runs of the Social Network will move across the face of AppleTV. To misquote Churchill "Never in the field of human gullibility, has so much been nicked from so many, by so few..."

    The less said about the royal family the better - I have the horrible suspicion we're getting a good news wedding in April to skillfully (I use the word advisedly) disguise the fact that ole Tin Lizzie & Lord Percy are retiring - lumbering us with King Poof the 1st & the kings consort Lady Park'yer'bawls.

    True its not the first time that we've had a rumpstuffer at Caer Paravel - but at least the others weren't so damned obvious about it...

      what the fook did you have for lunch?
