  1. My condolences. My dad went at 49, I understand how you feel.
  2. I've got a Panasonic Viera LCD TH-32LX-75S. It's what I've always wanted in a tv, I can't praise it enough. The Sony Bravia is also excellent but I thought the Panny had the edge.
  3. I'll get to this one day. Have you read The Night Watch, also by Waters? I enjoyed it, though I admit it left me wanting more (perhaps an epilogue that returned to "the present" after WWII and explained a few more details). But on the whole very interesting. No, this is the first book I've read by her. I might try Affinity next.
  4. A page turner supreme.
  5. Well I'm a long time Tokyo resident but I've never seen anything that bad. Maybe it was shot after a suspension of service. Now and again somebody will jump in front of an oncoming train causing big delays. MG Sticks ? Urban legend more like.
  6. He played a despicable villian in so many films, did he ever play a 'good guy' ? Just a couple of weeks ago I watched No Way Out in which he plays a racist two bit hood giving Sydney Poiter a very hard time. I especially liked him in Pickup On South Street but he was good in everything.
  7. Terrible news, and an awful waste of a talented writer and director.
  8. Carry On 50 Years Later. Play the video- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7289741.stm
  9. Pakistani style chicken masala, green peppers with ginger, garlic & various spices. Crispy fried potatoes with garam masala & coriander, yogurt, mango pickles and chi.
  10. Great,thanks. Photobucket works.
  11. I've followed the above instructions posted by JSngry, open pic , copy image location, enter in the image box. So far so good. I entered a link to my Flicker site picture. This is the board message that appears - You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif Could any kind soul please tell me what error I'm making ? I've got some interesting pics of monks walking on red hot coals at a local fire festival that I want to share but I can't work out the correct posting procedure.
  12. The Complete Dinah Washington On Mercury Vol 1 Disc 3
  13. Are the Viao's that bad? I have my eye on one (laptop) for a possible second PC - there seem to be some good deals on them at the moment. Perhaps that's why? Maybe mine was a Monday morning job. The technical support was also terrible, with a very irritating couldn't give a shit attitude. In contrast the Kojiro support service can't do enough to help, including an unconditional 5 year guarantee. Sony make great headphones, but that's about it imo.
  14. Without doubt a Sony Viao desktop. The hard disc burned out in less than two years. I'm now using a Frontier/Kojiro pc and it's as good as the Sony was bad.
  15. Someone gave me the series one dvd set as a gift and I was hooked. I've watched ever series, some of them twice, and think it's certainly one of the best things ever made for American tv. I sometimes found the continuity and dialogue a bit tough but loved every show. The finale didn't disappoint me at all, it was apt that it should end like that. A neatly tied up conclusion would have betrayed the whole spirit of the show.
  16. I'm usually wake up about 6.00 but doze until getting up at 6.40, every day. Some of you super early risers must hit the sack in the middle of the evening, I rarely go to bed before 11.00.
  17. I can vouch for that. Thanks. I'm looking at the Mosaic now. I don't know the answer to Paul's original question about the material on the Rex Stewart disc I ordered, I'm afraid. A cut from that Ellingtonians album was featured on the BBC program -- "Cherry," I believe. Sensational tune. The HRS does look inviting. EDIT: On order. Thanks so much for pointing this one out. Very excited! The Mosaic HRS is great , it's one of my most played Mosaics.

    Bob Dylan corner

    Link to the archived downloads of Bob's Theme Time Radio Show, season two. http://dsp.vscht.cz/pavelka/TTRH/ttrh02.html Apologies if this has already been posted.
  19. Chambers - Kelly All the Wynton Kelly tracks.
  20. I thought my eyes were in need of a tuning up when the sky turned yellow around 3 o'clock, the wind was howling and the trees were thrashing around. Seems we got swiped by a sandstorm from China, must be their revenge for losing 1-0 in the football match the other night. Doesn't bode well for the Olympics.
  21. Now you're talking, the thrills of the flesh may fade but cooking is for ever.
