  1. My brother makes an awesome fish finger sarnie, quite a sophisticated creation though. PS Any reason you didn't start this thread in the Food forum?
  2. This storyline isn't really correct because it is actually Murray (his podiatrist and her girlfriend want to try a "ménage") who persuades Fioravante to become a gigolo so that they can make money.
  3. In Scotland I've only heard the word buttie (butty) used in reference to a roll or two slices of bread (buttered) filled with chips (French fries not crisps), i.e., chip butty. In fact on Friday night I had a fish supper and a buttered roll on the side, into which I transferred some of the chips. Delish!
  4. Fading Gigolo (2013) IMDB - "Fioravante (Turturro) decides to become a professional Don Juan as a way of making money to help his cash-strapped friend, Murray (Allen). With Murray acting as his "manager", the duo quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love and money." I didn't expect it to be anything special but absolutely loved it (I found myself smiling all the way through it) and watched it twice on consecutive nights! Written and directed by John Turturro who's one of my favourite actors, it also stars Woody Allen (who I'm no fan of but he was excellent), Sharon Stone, Vanessa (Joe le Taxi) Paradis and Sofia Vergara who has outstanding assets! Also, although I'm no jazz fan, the soundtrack is superb. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved it. :biggrin:
  5. Terminator Genisys (2015) IMDB - "When John Connor, leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline." A bit like Jurassic World, it was entertaining and I enjoyed it, however it's not on the same level as The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991).
  6. Watched this last week and certainly enjoyed it as an entertaining flick but it was never going to be as great as the 1993 original. IMDB - "A new theme park is built on the original site of Jurassic Park. Everything is going well until the park's newest attraction--a genetically modified giant stealth killing machine--escapes containment and goes on a killing spree."
  7. Call it from a public land line?
  8. I'd forgotten about this one, so thanks for that. However it does works better with shorter Burns quotes, particularly if you plan to tell it!
  9. Thanks KS, I tried this (free version) but it came up with absolutely nothing?!
  10. Thanks Baa99, I do have autosave enabled and was expecting the Document Recovery panel to pop up but it didn't! This file is just gone?!
  11. Lost file actually. An Excel file, which is important to me. I was using it on Sunday night (on PC) and on Monday evening it was gone, vanished?! I did have a problem with Excel not responding that night which I think was due to my Photoshop Organizer using up all my laptops memory. I checked my recycle bin in case I'd deleted it by mistake but not there. Unfortunately I have not done a backup for a while! I really want this file back so any ideas / software for recovery suggestions would be much appreciated.
  12. Gawguy: "What's the weather like over in LOS?" YimSiam: "It's hot. Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking." Gawguy: "Well, can you tell me what it feels like?" YimSiam: "Fool, it's hot! I told you again! Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot! I saw - It's so damn hot, I saw little guys, their orange robes burst into flames. It's that hot! Do you know what I'm talking about." Gawguy: "What do you think it's going to be like tonight? YimSiam: "It's gonna be hot and wet! That's nice if you're with a lady, but it ain't no good if you're in the jungle." Gawguy: "Thank you, YimSiam."
  13. Forgot that I saw this last week and it is indeed worth a watch.
  14. Scottish Field, October issue, more of a magazine than a book, however it does require reading skills and is entertaining.
  15. Spy 2015 IMDB - "A desk-bound CIA analyst volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent diabolical global disaster." Starring - Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham A good action / comedy. Good fun, really enjoyed it. :up:
  16. Watched it for the second time tonight (first time I was slightly inebriated) and shouldn't have bothered! What a heap of crap!! How it can possibly get an 8.3 rating from IMDB users is beyond me!!!
  17. Careful, only the one thumbs up! However I didn't have any regrets watching it.
  18. San Andreas (2015) IMDB - "In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey with his ex-wife across the state in order to rescue his daughter." A decent action flick with some excellent CGI. Enjoyed it.
  19. "This video is no longer available......"
  20. If you had said "not one Gulf country is offering any refuge" then you would probably have been correct.
  21. WTF is going on?! He makes me look like an anorexic on a diet!
  22. Which will make them look even more corrupt and pathetic than the world already thinks they are! In civilized countries they won't be able to comprehend how the police can get rewarded for just doing their jobs, which in this case they haven't even done yet!!
