    [Film] What's the most thought provoking/controversial film you've watched?

    This along with Natural Born Killers are the two films I can't rewatch purely because of their aesthetic. Not so much to do with the content, I appreciate the artistic merits of both, but something about the filming style leaves me nauseous.

    [Other Sport] World Snooker Sweepstake

    First time I 'd seen him but thought he looked very impressive against Ronnie. Just clinical.

    [News] Universal Theme Park - UK

    Cultural thing mate. Getting your selfie with 'whoever' is more important than the actual experience for a lot of the locals over here. Same at concerts where they'll drop over $200 to see someone, then piss off halfway through after they've taken a video for tiktok of the one song they want to...

    What did you think of it? I live about 20 minutes away. Half the rides are usually out of action. (very unusual for Singapore!)

    Be careful, 'cause there's always someone ready to step into your shoes ... and do your job better ... than you ... do it.

    [Politics] Anyone cancelled a trip or been put off booking a trip to the US since Trump was elected?

    Supposed to be going to a Packers game at Lambeau this winter as well as plans for the World Cup next year. At the moment i'm not thinking about changing plans but will see what the situation is closer the time. Certainly keeping an eye on it all.

    [Film] Movie/tv actors you really like

    Brando De Niro Day Lewis Oldman Bale Considine Gary Oldman in True Romance is the only performance where I literally couldn't believe it was the actor. I thought there was a mistake in the cast list I was reading. Unreal. Stevie G is on his way to that rarified atmosphere for sure.

    [TV] Fawlty Towers

    'Basil doesn't bet anymore do you dear?' 'No, no, that particular avenue of pleasure has been closed off.' 'And we don't want it opened up again do we, Basil.' 'No, you don't dear.'

    [Football] Teams That Never Seem To Move Up Or Down

    First ones that came to mind are Preston and Bristol City, both seem to have spent a decade pretty much midtableish. Long term I think it was Rochdale that spent nearly 40 years in div 4/div 3/ league 2. EDIT: just seen you mentioned bands, these are more just division based.

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Good timing that, then...

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Kind of agree. I thought the acting in the first one was also far far superior, with a cast of British movie/Hollywood regulars and then the second one in the school was like watching an episode of Grange Hill with the acting level of some of the teachers/kids. Took me out of it a bit...

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Excllent, going to check it out later. Love pretty much everything with Stephen Graham in, going back to Snatch.

    [Misc] How many on here went to a private school

    I went to a state school and have taught in both both state and private education. As far as I'm concerned the differences are vast and i could go on about this all day. I currently teach in the private sector abroad. (Secondary). Part of that was a complete disillusionment with teaching in...

    [Misc] Does Anyone Forget What The Day Is, And What Is Your Most Embarrassing Moment ?

    Can relate. I once spent 30 minutes frantically scouring the pitch and surrounding areas for my other goalkeeping glove. It was on my hand.

    [Albion] Man United wonderkid JJ Gabriel

    Sounds like a footballing version of Todd Marinovich, his dad essentially used him as a human experiment on how to create an NFL quarterback from birth. That worked out well for him...

    [Misc] Why Christianity needs to give its head a wobble

    YES! This is one (among many) of the great things about living in Singapore. Holidays for Xmas, New Year, Chinese NY, Easter, Diwali, Hari Raya x2, Vesak day and Labour day. The more religions to be celebrated the merrier!
