I've a ****** of a cold coming on and have hit the hot whiskey (purely for medicinal purposes)

It has now come to my attention that the oirish spell it whiskey but others whisky! Isn't that a revelation?

 

That's the kind of insight that drinking the stuff gives you

I'm unwell myself so will be venting my frustration at the telly tonite

I'm sure there will be plenty to 'comment' on see ya there

 

btw BEW - The Shining... that *was* gripping, it freaked me right out

 

Jeepers Creepers........(seriously)..

 

I think if i leave ch4 on while I wait for that program to start, I'm going to fall asleep.
What is that bitch on about

oh typical it's gone to adverts now

Andy

 

know what you mean...

Gives you time to get a beer in and prepare for the ride though

 

Jeepers Creepers is w@nk!
It was a tad spooky until the dumbfcuk winged demon appeared!

Buck,The Shining is still one of the scariest (sp) movies IMO! Very few movies give me a shiver now but everytime I see Jack doing his stuff it still spooks me!
The memory of Freddie Kreuger was good until I watched the third one recently and pi$$ed myself laughing!
**** me this is gonna be a messy session tonite!

 

Agree about Nightmare on Elm st.....and Friday 13th.....

 

god it reminds me when I was dragged along to a church service.

waffle, waffle, waffle, waffle, waffle.
in one ear out the other.
is this the best CH4 can put on at (almost) primetime
Now I know why I don't watch tv....

roll on 9 O'clock

Andy

 

Yes, Nightnare on Elm St - the first two were very scarey - but the whole franchise turned into self parody after those. :roleyes:

But they were funny though

Jeppers Creepers I've not seen....

Blair Witch - now *that* was w@nk

 

AGree about the Kipling programme - but he does make exceedingly good cakes

 

Just when we on the subject of horror movies,does anyone remember an English movie called "the beast in the cellar"? Two old women locked their nephew in the cellar oddly enough to stop him being drafted into the army. Was a 60s/70s film IIRC. Again was scary as a kid but total toss now!

Bastid whisky/whiskey

 

was that the one with Olly Ried?

 

I know,watched Blair witch yesterday and wondered WTF the fuss was about but then I remembered a phrase "dumbfcuk yankees"

 

in a similar vien what was that Clint Eastwood one where he was an injured civil war soldier taken in by a house full of women who kept him prisoner? That was pretty wierd...

 

Dunno about Ollie but Beryl Reid was in it I think.

 

TCM was pretty gripping near the end...

 

hmm tricky how about in no order:-
minority report
seven
T2

 

and... we're off

Speed was ****, though Hopper was good and Lucy Lieu is dyin' for it
