September 21, 201015 yr ^ No hurry, next week is fine. You'll have longer to find your backup source material.
September 22, 201015 yr Yeah, it rocked. Stana == , and her acting was sublime -- loved some of the subtle facial expressions they made her do throughout the episode.
September 22, 201015 yr Drawn Together is awesome.omg, YES. (interview mode) Foxxy Love: Poor, pitiful ass Clara. So incredibly gullible, she'll believe anything you tell her. (flashback mode) Clara: Huh. He died on the cross for our sins, you say. Yeah, I could see that. Also, "La-la-la-la-labia baby you got something for me" == greatest song number line ever.

September 23, 201015 yr NBC's 'Community' to experiment with 'Twittersode' - USATODAY.com in Community news...
September 24, 201015 yr the office havent seen an episode in a few years. watching it makes me feel like im 19 again. pam is still damn cute though
September 27, 201015 yr Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974 An excellent semi-fact-based series. The Yorkshire Ripper was a real guy Peter Sutcliffe, who went on a serial killing spree of prosititues and other women from 1975 to 1980. Serving life in Broadmoor. The corrupt developer played by Bean was also a familiar thing in the North of England (where I come from) at around that time. The most famous pair were T. Dan Smith (Head of Newcastle city Council) and John Poulson (the developer/architect). Vast bribes (we're talking many hundreds of thousands - worth perhaps ten million today) passed to ensure a contract for building a vast mall in the city centre of Newcastle (Eldon Square). T Dan Smith was the invited speaker at one of my school's academic achievement prize events - I remember him calling making Newcastle the "Brasilia of the North" - he was arrested less than a year later. T Dan Smith was also a central character in another excellent series called "Our Friends in the North" made in 1996. If you enjoyed Red Riding, it is worth looking this one out. Just as dark.
September 27, 201015 yr i do occasionally have trouble with Northern accents. The accent you are recalling (my accent) is called Geordie. It is actually a bastardised ancient Norwegian/Swedish from the dark ages Viking invaders. There are whole chunks of Geordie that bear a strong link to modern Scandinavian languages. Remarkably persistent dialect that has its roots back over a thousand years. It is no wonder you have trouble with it
September 27, 201015 yr Indeed. Geordie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://www.hoboes.com/pub/Role-Playing/Shadowrun/Places/Tynesprawl%20Slang
September 27, 201015 yr Indeed. Well, it'll come as no surprise that I understood every word of that. It wasn't particulary heavy dialect either. True Geordie phrases include the memorable "Divvent cowp yer creels bonny lad" and "you lookin' for a cleb roond the lugs?"
September 28, 201015 yr ^ Any tales of Bigg Market, you'd care to share? Ah - the Bigg Market. Never, ever under any circumstances go down the Bigg Market at night at the weekend. You'd be asking for a "Byker kiss" - being nutted in the face. Byker is a rough area of Newcastle (there are others).
September 28, 201015 yr Was just watching Australia's Next Top Model 2010 final with the gf. They announced the winner with a huge amount of music and fireworks only to realize they made a counting mistake in the vote. Then on live national TV they had to apologize and give it to the other girl This justified sitting through the whole thing hehe.
