Soldier, Your question is very leading, it seems you've already made youre mind up about what you're wanting to do, yet you're just looking for that extra push to go do it. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend either I would suggest you follow what you think is right for you. What I can recommend ...

Ratbert, Concept 1: The Movement Image (Pre WW2 Cinema & Hollywood) The movement image consists of characters in positions dictated by the narrative from which they perceive things, react, and take action in accordance to the events around them. The movement-image is a form of spatialized cinema: ti...

I suspect you are trying to convey to your mate that he is a cissy for drinking lager. A perfectly laudable aim.

Try this. Bitter is brewed with seeded hops whereas lager is brewed with seedless hops. So your mates beer has effectively had it's nuts chopped off.
Well said that man.

Sorry misread Beer for Bitter.. Well, Lager is a Beer. Your comparison is like comparing a Dalmation to the Dog Family. Its a part of it just with minor differences. Beer can have varying styles of fermentation like Ales whereas a Lager is specifically set to a specific form of fermentation. Your ma...

Bench, Bitter is top-fermented, hoppy, dry, and lightly carbonated. Lager is made with a bottom fermenting yeast, and are characteristically "smooth, elegant, crisp, and clean. Lagers - Lagers are brewed using a "bottom-fermenting yeast". This kind of yeast sinks to the bottom of the wort to do most...

Yeah, but as I was posting the response to Bench's question to me. You snuck in and did it first, so I edited mine to make more sense and rather than detracting my original post, I left it up there for Bench to see. Save having wasted time searching for it. Dreadfully sorry if I answered a question ...

You sod. Thought someone might go and do something like that (the BENCH question, not KYLOFSKI's response). Anyway, like the rest of the questions, here the response.

Bench, Paying through the nose is said to originate from popular folklore, which says that phrase dates back to 9th century Ireland. Viking raiders would demand tribute from the local Irish and slit open the noses of anyone who refused to pay. I do not know whether not Vikings were among the first t...

Sad to hear that Bench as I plan on going seeing it sometime in the near future.

As far as ripping the story to peices and changing it to be all American. It's almost the in-thing at the moment with American film makers. I'm just glad its not all 'lets be loud and obnoxious'.

So is Diuof all we can afford then? Is that your big signing. Cos we need some fillers to cope with the number of games this season. You know, if we were to sign a Two Time African Player of the Year with a track record as good as Dioufy's it would be our big signing. But considering he's just been...

I've said no. Don't think we've got the pulling power to get a guy like this without very negative financial problems coming with it.

One big signings good enough this season.

Lets just keep realistic and not change the winning formulae too much.

Natasha, Don't worry too much. Those 'fantastic' observations are usually misunderstood. Like a West Ham fan proclaiming his team to be champions league contenders, the words stick in your mind and many don't like to believe them. True or not they're a different way of seeing things and its against ...

Okay, if you have marital problems you're gonna have to give me a little more detail about the types of problems you are having and the likely cause of them. Otherwise I'm left guessing and the last thing you want is someone to guess your way out of the problem.

Enzo, I know your plight all too well. I don't know what it is to make a TV program get a rise out of someone enough to literally want to be aggressive towards someone, but theres a few that do it for me.
