When questioned about the likely International press coverage, that this suicide may generate, particularly in light of recent events like the Koh Tai murders, Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai reminded Thai reporters, that "The International Press will only try to undermine Thai National Unity and therefore anything they may write, should be viewed as evidently untrue and false", he went on to to note, that autographed pictures, of himself, the victim and twenty seven other policemen from his department, posed according to rank, would be available at the conclusion of the briefing. ​In related news, the Tourism Authority of Thailand issued a statement that reading, in part, that " Despite the unfortunate image that dead foreigners were trying to bring to Thailand, Thailand was still a warm and welcoming nation with famous world class hospitality and the Thai Tourism Industry is now determined to attract high quality tourists."

I've always considered myself immune to feelings about pets, but when my dog passed away some years back, I changed my view on that point.

The Guest 2014 - usual dross about a stranger who becomes part of the family then kills everyone. 5/10 The Signal 2014 - started as a "film students trying too hard" type of film - but got better and better and evolved into a half decent SciFi, without resorting to too many effects, quite good really, Well worth a watch.

Yes "questions are being asked as to how it is possible for anybody to commit suicide with their hands tied behind their back" "Because it isn't anything other than suicide, Foreigners in Thailand don't die any other way, so this person must have been a contortionist or a magician." said Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai of the police box on the corner of Soi 131 and Sukhumvit. "He must have been a very clever man, to inflict not one, but several wounds to his neck and arm, then tie his hands behind his back and then hang himself. These Farangs are devilishly clever and not at all in tune with the Thai way of doing things, they will never understand Thailand".

A Brief History of Time 1991 - Docco/Bio- Very Interesting, now I'm waiting for the big crunch. Flesh for Frankenstein 1973 - Andy Warhol - Crap passed off as art, probably notable in it's time for nudity.

Yes yes, speaking in the hypotheticals

Yup, though technically not always cooked

If you feel safe with a fence between you and a Tiger, watch this

So yes, The Interview, good watch, not worth a second look though. American comedy seems to have entrenched itself in Teen humour over the last decade or two. Shame really, the material could have been so much funnier if Peter Sellars or Monty Python *(who now are sad old fucks) had had a go at it...

All delicious!

The Emerald Forest 1985 - unmitigated rubbish, only saved by innumerable young Amazonian girls in the buff. The Good The Bad And The Ugly 1966 - A classic, well worth watching again.

Still 9.5 hrs to go here, Happy New Year all...

Haven't seen it yet, still on the d/l, but seeing your colleagues reasons for seeing it or not, I too will see it, not because of any particular, social reasoning, but more because I'll watch anything that takes the piss out of Kim Jong Iteration.

New evidence Sony hack was ‘inside’ job, not North Korea US cybersecurity experts say they have solid evidence that a former employee helped hack Sony Pictures Entertainment’s computer system — and that it was not masterminded by North Korean cyberterrorists.One leading cybersecurity firm, Norse Corp., said Monday it has narrowed its list of suspects to a group of six people — including at least one Sony veteran with the necessary technical background to carry out the attack, according to reports.

And in the most insensitive handling of a situation like this - ever - "Graphic images of the passengers of AirAsia Flight QZ8501, now floating semi-naked corpses, were broadcast by an Indonesian news channel and appeared on six wide-screen televisions inside the room where families, including several young children, were waiting for news of the missing airliner."

Sorry to hear about Nicky, I know your were close, my condolences.

from wiki Banksy began as a freehand graffiti artist in 1990–1994[13] as one of Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes.[14] He was inspired by local artists and his work was part of the larger Bristol underground scene with Nick Walker, Inkie and 3D.[15][16] During this time he met Bristol photographer Steve Lazarides, who began selling Banksy's work, later becoming his agent.[17] From the start Banksy used stencils as elements of his freehand pieces, too.[13] By 2000 he had turned to the art of stencilling after realising how much less time it took to complete a work. He claims he changed to stencilling while he was hiding from the police under a rubbish lorry, when he noticed the stencilled serial number[18] and by employing this technique, he soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London.[18] He played football with the Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls in the 1990s and toured with the club to Mexico in 2001.[19] Banksy's first known large wall mural was "The Mild Mild West" painted in 1997 to cover advertising of a former solicitors' office on Stokes Croft Avenue, Bristol. It depicts a teddybear lobbing a Molotov cocktail at three riot police.[20] so who was on the football team to Mexico?

Quite right, most Arab nations live in the dark ages. On the other hand, sticking your hand out, to the savage dog, is not the wisest course of action either

Yes

This just gets better and better Dr Evil aaaaaand... BitTorrent offer to distribute The Interview
