  1. Argh. I hate this film so much it makes me froth at the mouth. No other film has ever moved me to such a passionate hatred. I mean, I have watched some bad films, indeed mrs_sparkeh and I are connoisseurs of bad movies, but this was the worst piece of I have ever has the misfortune to pay good money at the cinema for. A bunch of snot nose kids running around a forest whilst not much more happens than a bit jingling in the woods. Its perhaps the only horror film where I have ended up rooting for the evil to hurry up and kill off the characters so we can all go home and try and forgot the fetid turd of a movie we have just been subjected to. Just awful. Really awful. Offensively awful. Last movie I watched was Louis Theroux's "My Scientology Movie". Now, my problem with this film is that there is already a much much better film about Scientology, Alex Gibney’s "Going Clear". Usually I love Louis Theroux but I don't think that his style, or the way he played it, really matched the subject, especially in how he interacted with the main ex-thetan who was helping him. The slightly comedic edge just seemed out of place. I don't think that we learn anything new in this movie, the threats, the intimidation, the brainwashing, the filming of people investigating the Scientologists is nothing new. However, it did reinforce that Scientology is a terrifying cult.
  2. Anything that gives them a kick up the bum, improves service and opens up the broadband market is alright by me!
  3. Wow I take it back. I never knew :S
  4. It is? Genuine question: are baked beans tins this dangerous to be equated with handling a knife?
  5. Hey why are placing arbitrary restrictions on how the entity has to move!?
  6. I am concerned that there are no warnings about not pressing your face against the hot cooking rings when operating a cooker. Also there's a scene of a lady casually lounging on a sofa next to a remote without any warnings about falling asleep and potentially swallowing the remote. I am of course, being sarcastic. This is madness.
  7. Ofcom, as per usual.
  8. His funeral will be a blast!
  9. Works for me So, oddly the original smile posted by @elsiegee40 doesn't show up as a smilie but the others do?
  10. Oh wait, the smilie in the post above did show up in the app!?
  11. Confirmed. Just to expand that a bit, is there any scope for having the app display the same smilies as the web. Eg shows up as : hat : (no spaces). (and that makes no sense if read in the app )
  12. You still can't remove thanks in the app. Any plans for that?
  13. Just noticed the "OP" badge next to people's names. I like that, is it new?
  14. Ermmm... well we bought it and it doesn't seem to do it anymore so I guess we did sort it out, but I can't for the life of me remember what the fix was. Really sorry
  15. Still getting this on iPad. iPhone is fine.
  16. Remains to be seen if 'free speech' actually means 'hate speech'
  17. Yes a 'Who should be mod thread' would go smoothly right... that's something we should definitely do...
  18. Good point. Still, I think it would be nice to take a bit of the strain off you Good Lord
  19. Cool, good idea. On the face of it (and it perfectly possible I have the wrong impression) but there appears to be a fair few members with mod badges yet there appears to be a couple of mods shouldering most of the work. This is not meant as a criticism of anyone in any way, things change, people have less time etc its just the impression I get and would be good to lessen the load on the active people
  20. I request a thread split to discuss the irony. And then a thread merge to compound it.
  21. I really can't see the problem with starting a new thread. If I do it I just leave a link in the old thread so those that are interested can follow the split thread. Easy. The Usenet format would be horrific.
  22. Same here, I'd test with just the start menu installed.
  23. Ah ha. Yeah licence it separately. We have an OVS-ES agreement for it and its peanuts. I advise talking to your friendly neighborhood MS licencing partner.
  24. Do you really need to licence the full System Center suite? Or would sccm on its own not suffice?
